In Florida you can take the written test and gain a temporary restricted motorcycle license good for a couple months. They you come back and take the riding test for the real thing.
I borrowed a small bike from the girl down the street to take my riding test. Not because I didn't have a bike, but because the DMV here refuses to follow state guidelines for the riding test. They are supposed to reset the cones for bikes over a certain wheelbase but won't and leave them very close to each other. The guy at the dealership where I bought my CBX *strongly* recommended borrowing a smaller bike versus trying to guide my inexperienced (with the CBX) ass through the tight cones on a big bike.
Looking back on it with years on the X under my belt I'm sure I could pass it but at the time it was probably a good thing to ride smaller/lighter.
Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, practice on something light light light.
