The written portion evaluates your understanding of crucial motorcycle operation principles, road safety, and the Yukon laws specific to two-wheeled vehicles. The practical test, often considered the more demanding leg of the exam, assesses your ability to handle a motorcycle in real-world situations, including traffic, turns, and other common riding scenarios.
