Free Illinois DMV Motorcycle Permit Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test.

The legendary Route 66 starts in Chicago and goes all the way to California. Riders from all over the country gather in Illinois to start an unforgettable road trip on two wheels. To join them, you must go through the licensing process imposed by the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office (DMV). A Class L motorcycle license allows you to operate any motor-driven cycle with less than 150cc displacement. A Class M license allows you to ride any motorcycle or motor-driven cycle, regardless of its displacement. Teens aged 16 and 17 must hold a learner’s permit for 24 months to practice under the supervision of a licensed rider aged 21 or older with at least one year of driving experience.

Passing the official 15-question motorcycle knowledge test is a requirement if you’re under 18 and applying for a Class L license. (Otherwise, you may be able to skip the knowledge test if you successfully complete an Illinois rider training course.) We’ll help you ace this exam through an intuitive tool that makes studying easier for those who struggle to understand the various aspects of riding theory. Our Illinois DMV motorcycle permit practice tests are designed to closely resemble the content and format of the official exam. Each practice test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official DMV motorcycle operator manual (Illinois Motorcycle Manual). Start today and study with this tool as often as your schedule allows. Consistent effort and repetition will increase your chances of passing the official exam on your first attempt.

Remember, riding is a lifelong skill. As you are currently in your learning phase, it is crucial to avoid rushing. Make sure you understand what it means to be a safe and responsible rider in the state of Illinois. Learn from your mistakes, and don’t let them bring you down. We point them out as soon as they occur, followed by a detailed explanation of the correct answer. The freedom of riding your favorite motorcycle is the reward for your dedication to studying this subject, which helps you develop safe riding habits.
