Can I use my own motorcycle for the motorcycle test?

Driving schools provide motorcycles for the test, but you can also use your own motorcycle for the exam. Here is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. Basic motorcycle test items: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, speed-limited passage through a narrow gate, passing continuous obstacles, shifting gears within 100 meters, and driving on bumpy roads. 2. Motorcycle: A two or three-wheeled vehicle driven by a gasoline engine, steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transportation, etc.
Right after I got my motorcycle license, I used the dedicated bikes provided by the driving school, which felt very hassle-free because they had all the bikes tuned to be stable, with lights, horns, and safety gear all properly equipped. If you use your own everyday motorcycle, although it helps you get familiar with the controls, you must ensure it fully meets the exam requirements—such as not exceeding the displacement limit, having responsive brakes, and no modifications to the body—otherwise, the examiner might reject it, or if it breaks down during the test, all your effort would be wasted. I recommend that beginners ask whether the driving school provides exam bikes when signing up, as this reduces risks and worries, allowing you to focus entirely on your skills during the test without worrying about damaging your own bike. After all, once you get your license, you can practice gradually with your own motorcycle—safe and reliable.
