Yes, if you have a full car licence you can ride a 125cc scooter or motorbike off-road. However, you must take and pass your compulsory basic training (CBT) before riding on the road.
If you took training before each licence test, you'd need to allow 3 – 5 days for the licence training and a half-day for the test. This would mean you'd spend around 13 – 21 days in motorcycle training and four days testing over the five years of moving from CBT to full A licence.

CSN motorcycle course lets first-time drivers skip DMV test.

The Basic Rider Course that the Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers is a great tool for those looking to get a grasp on the fundamentals of motorcycle riding. As a Rider Coach, it is an energizing opportunity to share a passion for motorcycles and encourage a new rider’s knowledge and enthusiasm while they acquire the skills they will need on the road. As we go through the course, clear patterns emerge after numerous classes. We see what always works, what always doesn’t, and often the same few things that can interfere with a student getting the most out of a class.
Good posture makes a good rider. This one can be tough to fix since we are adjusting attitude instead of technique. As hard as it might be, try to relax. Instructors and students alike are there to have fun, even if it is by way of practicing proper technique. Get some nervous energy out during the breaks if you can.
Let’s be honest about what is at the end of the Basic Rider Course range portion. It’s a big scary test. Every Rider Coach probably has his or her own little innocuous synonym for it, but at the end of the day you know it’s a test. Just from my own experience, examples abound of students who did brilliantly all day only to make simple and silly mistakes during the “Evaluation.” As with any test in life, stress can be there to edge you into a mistake.
The front brake was said to be “too dangerous” and never to be used. It is usually not until the second day of range instruction that the student is confident enough to consistently apply both brakes properly. Some bad habits are not so obvious.
Each exercise is designed to build on the previous exercises and allow you to learn quickly and effectively. Expect each exercise to take about 40 minutes. After every other exercise, a break will be held.
Purchaser who purchases an Eligible Motorcycle during the Sales Period has the option to trade-in the Eligible Motorcycle at its original purchase price towards the purchase of a new, unregistered, model year 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2020 Harley-Davidson Touring, Trike, Softail, Dyna, Sportster, Street or Special 3.
You want to be sure of the path of travel and the technique being scored. Coach Tip: Don’t score yourself during the evaluations. Not all areas of the riding exercise are scored, and most mistakes are just a few points. Riders that get worked up because they made a riding error often ride worse and make more errors.
The MSF instructor told me to wait at least 48 hours; finish the course on Sunday and go to the DMV on Wednesday.

Florida Motorcycle License.

Yep, the cost to get your license renewed is ridiculous now, but at least we don't have state inspections, yet.#N#You don't need to go to a dmv either . Any tax collectors office can issue drivers licenses.
ALWAYS seek further rider education throughout the entirety of your riding career. Also, as much as you think you know and as good as you think you are, there's ALWAYS room for improvement. The more you learn and the more you improve your skills, the better it gets. Congrats & ejoy!
reyd1a said: bring your MSF certificate to the DMV and they will put the motorcycle endorsement on your license. If it is close to your renewal for your license, you can renew your license at the same time too.
