Motorcycle Licensing & Requirements in Oklahoma

Gearing up for your Oklahoma motorcycle license? Here’s what a real skills test looks like—cones, coaches, and all.

Written Exam Overview

The written motorcycle endorsement test in Oklahoma has 25 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you need at least 20 correct answers (80%). Questions are based on:

• Oklahoma motorcycle laws
• Traffic signs and safety
• Proper riding techniques

You must also complete a standard vision screening.

What’s on the Skills Test?

The riding skills exam is designed to evaluate your control and hazard avoidance. Expect to perform:

• Sharp turns and U-turns
• Sudden stops
• Swerving around obstacles
• Riding through curves

Eye protection is required if your motorcycle doesn’t have a windshield.

Skip the Tests with MSF Certification

Completing a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Basic RiderCourse waives both the written and riding tests. Submit your MSF certificate to Service Oklahoma and you’re done. Most courses include:

• 5 hours of classroom learning (in person or online)
• 10–11 hours of range riding practice
• Use of a training motorcycle

MSF courses also qualify you for insurance discounts and improved riding skills.

Minors and Out-of-State Transfers

• Ages 14–15: Must complete MSF, pass the written test, and hold a permit for 30+ days.
• Ages 16–17: May qualify for a restricted license with parental consent.
• Out-of-State Riders: If your motorcycle license is valid or expired within 6 months, Oklahoma will exchange it after a vision check.
