Vrrronica is 1312cc, which would mean that I would have had to complete my skills test on my behemoth if I did not (yet) receive my endorsement. Yes, she’s big-boned, but she does not show it :-). Fortunately, I have my endorsement in hand and will not have to retest.
I’ve listed the requirements below. If you are interested in riding a larger bike, make your move now.
Exerpt from Utah Rider Education (http://www.utahridered.com/):
Starting July 8, 2008 Utah will be using a tiered licensing system for motorcycle endorsements.
- If a rider tests on a 90cc or less motorcycle or scooter they will be restricted to 90cc or less.
- If a rider tests on a 249cc or less motorcycle or scooter they will be restricted to 249cc or less.
- If a rider tests on a 649cc or less motorcycle or scooter they will be restricted to 649cc or less.
- If a rider tests on a motorcycle or scooter larger than 650cc they will be allowed to ride any motorcycle or scooter.
If you take a motorcycle safety class on a 250cc motorcycle, successful completion of the safety course will waive the riding part of the license test for an up to 649cc endorsement. To get an endorsement for motorcycles above 649cc you must use your larger motorcycle in the class. To use your bike in the class you must have a permit, registration, and insurance.

Ride on! Congratulations, Mario. So let me get this right. Because you passed the test on a scooter, you can now ride any size motorcycle? I have my motorcycle license, I rode a 600 cc. Can I ride any size or only bikes smaller than 600. Thanks
You and Mike should go riding together, while Shep and I collect coins together!
Where do you like to ride? Frankly, there's nothing more enjoyable than to hop on the bike on a Sunday afternoon and cruise through tree covered roads or up the canyon. I think that people who are opposed to motorcycles have not really experienced the feel of the road on one. I hope you enjoy your new road bike. Ride safe!
