Michigan SOS Motorcycle Handbook 2024

The Great Lakes State is one of the most scenic in the entire country and there’s no better way to see it than by motorcycle.  Centrally located in the five Great Lakes, Michigan boasts over 3,200 miles of shoreline and roads with farms, mills, and wineries waiting to be explored.  But before you can hit the road in this state you’ll need your motorcycle license and that means passing the state required written motorcycle test.

To get started on this adventure, we’ve included the official copy of the Michigan Motorcycle Operator’s Handbook.  This handbook will help you to gain the knowledge you need to prepare for your license test.

Preparing With the MI Motorcycle Manual

While the handbook is a valuable resource, it can’t test your knowledge.  Fortunately, we’ve created the Michigan Motorcycle Practice Test.  The interactive tests are designed to determine if you’ve mastered the material in the handbook and simulate the real exam.  Put the odds your favor now with the handbook and practice tests and before you know you’ll be exploring the roads of this beautiful state.
