I believe I've read that in some states you just have to go to the office & say "Hey, I've gotta bike", & they'll give you a licence to ride any crotch rocket you like. :crackup

When I took my test, in Sheffield, in 1965, we could ride any bike up to 250cc as a learner, then move up to whatever we wanted. I know the English test's got much more complicated since then.
