How Many Questions Are on the Missouri Motorcycle Permit Test?

Missouri's Class M motorcycle knowledge test has 25 questions — the same length as the state's regular Class F written test, though it covers motorcycle-specific material.

What the test covers

The 25 questions are drawn from the Missouri Motorcycle Operator Manual, covering topics like protective gear, braking technique, cornering, and sharing the road with other vehicles.

Unlike the regular Class F permit process, the motorcycle test doesn't have a separate road-sign component — sign knowledge is folded into the 25-question format.

The test is administered by the Missouri State Highway Patrol at a driver examination station, the same agency that handles regular permit testing.

Class F and Class M together

A first-time motorcycle applicant typically needs both a Class F license (or permit) and the Class M credential, which means passing the written, vision, road-sign, and skills tests tied to each.

An applicant who already holds a regular license generally only needs to add the Class M-specific written and skills tests.
