You love riding in the open air, just you and your bike, at breezy highway speeds. Or maybe you\u2019re daydreaming about your very first big bike. Whichever it is, first things first: to get on the road, you need motorcycle insurance<\/a> and a license. But how do you go about actually getting a Georgia motorcycle license? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read on to learn about the two classes of motorbike licenses in the Peach State and how to get each as easily as driving down the Cohutta-Chattahoochee Scenic Byway, traveling through White, Towns and Union counties, up Woodpecker Trail… you get the idea! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s start with a very basic description of the vehicles that require a motorcycle license in Georgia. The state defines a motorcycle as motorized transportation on less than four wheels, with at least a 51-cc engine, handlebars, and a saddle for a seat. That definition does not<\/em> include mopeds and scooters with smaller engines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The state only has two classifications of motorcycle licenses. You can get a Class M license or a Class MP \u2014 a Motorcycle Permit \u2014 which is a short-term learner\u2019s permit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re an experienced motorcyclist and maybe already have your license in other states, you\u2019ll apply for your Class M license. If you\u2019re a newbie, especially if you\u2019re only 16, you\u2019ll start on your MP and then convert it to your Class M license within six months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As an MP permit holder, there are certain restrictions you won\u2019t have when you get your Class M license. For instance, you\u2019ll only be able to ride your bike during daylight hours, you can\u2019t have a passenger behind you, and you won\u2019t be able to ride on limited access roadways, such as a freeway. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAn Overview of the Types of Motorcycle Licenses in Georgia<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
