Kansas DMV Motorcycle Handbook 2024

With an abundance of wide-open spaces and plenty of roads to explore, the Jay Hawk state is a magnet for motorcycle riders.  But before you can explore this beautiful state you’ll need to get your license and that means passing the state written motorcycle test.

To ensure you have the best possible chance of passing the test, it’s important that you prepare yourself in the best possible way.  And one of the very best ways to get started on the road to becoming a licensed rider is to pick up a copy of the Kansas Motorcycle Manual.

Preparing With the KS Motorcycle Manual

Once you have reviewed the information in the manual it’s time to take a Kansas motorcycle permit practice test to help you determine if you’ve absorbed the information.  By using both the manual and practice tests together, you’ll be giving yourself the best possible chance of passing the first time.
