Its Official!!

I am the proud owner of a NY State Class M license!! I passed the Motorcycle safety class yesterday! I didn't use the scooter for the course, but road a Yamaha 250 they provide. I learned an awful lot !! I took the paperwork to the dmv and got my new motorcycle license. I then took my SYM 200 out for a quick lunchtime ride. 65 here in Erie County NY today.

Congrats on the license!!! Long time ago, we had to have a shadow around when riding in NY on a permit. Is that still in effect?

It sure is Gimpdog. The only 2 ways to get a license is to take the NY State approved safety course, you do the state approved road test at the end of the course. Or you can ride with a shadow, and no more than 1/4 mile of separation between the 2 of you. Then you can try and schedule a road test.

Congratulations. In my state, you can do the MSF on a scooter but it only qualifies you for an "S" license, to ride a 50cc scoot on the road. I had to take the MSF on a Suzy TU250 to be able to ride my 125cc scoot legally.

WOW, NY doesn't differentiate between scooters and motorcycles, its all CC's. Under 50 CC you dont need a M endorsement on your license.

Scooters just aren't that prevalent in TX, except in urban areas. I'm OK with the MSF course setup because now I can rent a Harley for a weekend if I feel the need for a long trip.

I didn't realise the states differ that much with motorcycle enforcements. Here in Arizona I was told by an officer that the law has a grey area and technically if it has a motor gas or electric and 2 wheels you need a motorcycle enforcement. But its not enforced except on bigger bikes. I don't know what that means but I got mine.I didn't think to ask about gopeds.

If you read the NYS DMV manual it's not even about cc's. It's about speed. You don't need an "M" designation for anything under 30 mph top speed. Technically if you buy some zoomy Italian 50cc two stroke that does 45 mph, or more, you're supposed to have a Bike license.

I have a bike license since 1973. Now they have a range on Long Island for the test. When I took it you met an inspector on a back road, made circles and figure 8's in the road and rode around while he watched from a following car.

No MSF then.
