The Kansas motorcycle knowledge test is the written exam you must pass to earn your motorcycle permit or licence from the Kansas Department of Revenue Division of Vehicles. Score 20 of 25 correct (80%) to pass. Every question in this practice test is drawn from the official Kansas Motorcycle Handbook (Rev. 2020) — the same source the real exam is built from.
The exam covers the core riding topics Kansas 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 Kansas motorcycle manual. To get the most out of it:
One Kansas rule worth knowing before test day: Kansas law (K.S.A. 8-1598) requires a helmet only for motorcycle operators and passengers under 18. Riders 18 and older may legally ride without one.
Source: Test details reflect the consensus of major rider-education sources — confirm with the state agency before your visit. Kansas does not publish an official motorcycle knowledge-test count; 25 questions / 80% is a strong multi-site consensus. Every operator must wear approved eye protection unless the motorcycle has a windscreen at least 10 inches above the handlebar center.
