The Colorado motorcycle knowledge test is the written exam you must pass to earn your motorcycle permit or licence from the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles. Score 20 of 25 correct (80%) to pass. Every question in this practice test is drawn from the official Colorado Motorcycle Operator's Handbook (DR 2336) — the same source the real exam is built from.
The exam covers the core riding topics Colorado expects every rider to know: motorcycle controls, protective gear and the helmet law, lane positioning, turning and swerving, braking, hazard awareness, riding on slippery surfaces, carrying passengers and cargo, the effects of alcohol, and handling emergencies on two wheels.
This simulator gives you exam-style questions five at a time, scores you instantly, and explains every answer with a reference back to the Colorado motorcycle manual. To get the most out of it:
One Colorado rule worth knowing before test day: Colorado requires every motorcycle operator and passenger under 18 to wear an approved helmet. A rider 18 or older may legally ride without a helmet — but eye protection is required of every rider at every age.
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.
