The NE motorcycle operator handbook contains a range of information to help you get on the road with your first motorcycle license, including:

  • NE motorcycle licensing procedures.
  • Vehicle registration laws in Nebraska.
  • How to inspect your motorcycle.

Reviewing the Motorcycle Operator Manual (REV 2020) is one of the best ways to prepare for the written exam you'll need to pass to obtain your motorcycle license. For further study, you can take a DMV motorcycle practice test or purchase a NE DMV study guide.

Nebraska DMV Written Motorcycle Exam

Before the Nebraska DMV will issue you a motorcycle license, you'll need to pass both a written knowledge and riding skills exam.

NOTE: If you successfully complete a “MSF: Basic Rider Course" in Nebraska, the DMV examiner may waive your written and road skills tests.

The Motorcycle Operator Manual (REV 2020) is designed to help you study for the written and driving tests. In fact, all the questions on the NE knowledge test are based on information and safe riding practices found in the motorcycle manual.

You may also want to consider taking an online motorcycle practice test before your exam to make sure you're ready.
