The Minnesota motorcycle knowledge test is the written exam you must pass to earn your motorcycle permit or licence from the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services. Score 20 of 25 correct (80%) to pass. Every question in this practice test is drawn from the official Minnesota Motorcycle and Motorized Bicycle Manual — the same source the real exam is built from.
The exam covers the core riding topics Minnesota 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 Minnesota motorcycle manual. To get the most out of it:
One Minnesota rule worth knowing before test day: Minnesota requires riders under 18 and anyone on a motorcycle instruction permit to wear a DOT-approved helmet. Other adult riders may ride without one, but every rider must wear approved eye protection.
Source: Test details reflect the consensus of major rider-education sources — confirm with the state agency before your visit. The motorcycle knowledge test is 25 questions — 20 correct (80%) to pass. The 40-question exam is for the standard Class D license, not the motorcycle test.
