The official book the Colorado motorcycle knowledge test is based on — where to get it and how to study it.
The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles publishes the current motorcycle manual on its official site. Always study the latest edition.
Every question on the Colorado motorcycle knowledge test is drawn from the official motorcycle operator manual — a different book from the regular car driver handbook. Always study the most recent edition published by the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles, because rules and numbers change between revisions.
Read one chapter at a time, then test that chapter with the practice test before moving on. Pay extra attention to chapters on gear, the pre-ride inspection, hazard awareness (SEE), and emergency maneuvers — these are the most heavily tested sections. Score 20 of 25 correct (80%) to pass.
Source: Sources differ on this state's test details; the most credible consensus is shown. Confirm with the state agency. The motorcycle knowledge test consists of 25 questions; you must answer 20 correctly (80%) to pass. The question count is third-party consensus — the official DMV page does not publish it. An approved Basic Rider Course can waive the on-cycle skills test, but every applicant must still pass the written knowledge test.
