For beginners :
Step 1: Getting a MC license endorsement. Easiest way is to go for a test drive in nearest dmv with your friends bike.
Alternate way is to register for a school in advance, search "new rider motorcycle school near me". Average cost will be between 400$ to 600$ for a 2-day class and permit + test. You need to pass the test at school itself, no need to reschedule an exam and test. But you need online 4 hour test registration from Online Learning - Motorcycle Safety Foundation (msf-usa.org) The fee will cover the class, no need to pay seperately.
Step 2: Buy a DOD approved gear for the motor cycle training. Also there are special private classes for 1000$, harley rider course etc if you want to go for advanced skill level.
Step 3: take the letter provided by school to DMV and get your license endorsed. MC will appear on your existing 4 wheeler class D license.
