DMV Test Bike FAQ

Where do I start?
If you don't yet have your motorcycle permit you'll want to head down to any DMV, read the motorcycle handbook, and take the written test. You do not need an appointment for this. Here's some helpful links. Note if you have not recently taken the drivers written test, the DMV may ask you to take that test as well.

How do I get an appt?
FIRST call the dmv at 800-777-0122, or go online (right after midnight works very well) and book any Tuesday or Thursday driving test appt at the San Diego Clairemont DMV. If you cannot get an appt let me know, and WE CAN HELP, priority goes to those doing the private training. Again, contact the dmv first.

When is the Bike Available?
The DMV Test Bike is available every Tuesday and Thursday at the San Diego Clairemont DMV. FIRST call the dmv, IF YOU CAN'T GET A APPT LET ME KNOW, I CAN HELP! Priority goes to folks taking the skills pack.

What/Where?
All you need to do is show up with your helmet and permit and $50. I'll meet you in the motorcycle parking are at the San Diego Clairemont DMV (directions below). You don't need to bring insurance, you do not need to check in at the window first. Trust me. I'll take care of all the paperwork for you. If you don't have a helmet you can borrow mine.

How Much?
Test Bike: $50 buckaroos covers bike delivery to the DMV, insurance on the bike, practice, and the test (in other words, everything you need to get your license).
Skillspack: $199. Includes 4 hours one on one practice on the bike. Day one: 3 hours practice. Day 2: more practice then DMV test.
Payment accepted: cash on site.

What Type of Bike is it?
A Yamaha tw200 supermoto. It was chosen specifically because it is the smallest freeway legal motorcycle made, is lightweight, has a tall smooth first gear, and has a low seat height. It's been set up specifically for the test with street tires, lower seat height, and smoother gearing. I've had 4'10 riders use the bike without any issues

What does the test involve?
Here's a low quality video of the dmv bike in action that'll give you a good idea. The test is relatively easy on the right bike. VIDEO

Why San Diego Clairemont DMV?
This DMV has by far the easiest test circle, and the nicest examiners. That and we love the clairemont dmv folks.

How Much Practice Time Do I Get?
I'll meet you 1/2 hour before your scheduled appt. This is plenty of time to get comfortable on the bike. Most testers only use 15 min practice time due to the ease of riding this bike. If you're a bit rusty or just need more time riding I highly recommend the skillspack.

Yep.
