Illinois allows drivers under 18 to get the endorsement for the larger displacement bikes (M class) if you take the IDOT motorcycle safety course. Normally they are limited to 150cc & under until they are 18 (L class)

So when I turned 16, I took the 4 day course, got my license, and then went out & bought a V-65 Honda.

Looking back, that's scary! I certainly wouldn't let my daughter ride on the back of a bike like that with some 16-year-old boy!

Better off with the course, unless they cancell it like Gateway Tech did 3 years ago
Too true. Went to Sturtevant, asked to schedule test. They tell me to go to Kenosha. Wait at Kenosha, they tell me to go to Milwaukee.
