Road Test

I took my road test in Upstate NY on a Honda CBX , no problem.

CA has a program that lets you skip the riding portion of a license exam if you pass a basic riding course. Does NJ have something similar? Our ride test has tight circles too. Shouldn’t be a problem if you’re very comfortable on the CB at low speeds but if not, I’d want a smaller bike with a lower center of gravity, like a scooter.

You can take a course in NJ that consists of a few Saturdays in a parking lot learning how to ride on small bikes. You still have to take the road test and with the course usually comes a scooter rental. The courses are pretty expensive and take lots of time.

Unless it has changed in the last couple years- you take the class at the local community college- it was 2 days if I remember- and if you pass you get a voucher to give to the DMV and you get your license. No road test needed.
