How Many Questions Are on the Oregon Motorcycle Permit Test?
Oregon's motorcycle knowledge test has 25 questions — 10 fewer than the state's 35-question regular permit test, and focused entirely on motorcycle-specific material.
What the test covers
The 25 questions are drawn from the Oregon Motorcycle and Moped Manual, covering topics like protective gear, braking technique, cornering, and sharing the road with other vehicles.
The universal helmet law and general riding-safety fundamentals make up a large share of the material.
A path that skips the test entirely
Completing the in-person Team Oregon Basic Rider Training course waives both the DMV knowledge test and the skills test — a genuinely rare combination, since most states only waive one or the other for course completion.
The Intermediate course and any online classroom option only waive the skills test, so the specific course matters, not just taking a course at all.
