Driving a motorbike in america with a British license?

I have a British driving license and I’m going to conert it to an international one so I can drive in America. I’m going for 6 months.

Most (maybe all) US states require drivers to pass a separate test to be authorized to drive a motorcycle. You might get away without having the motorcycle endorsement on your UK license, or you might not. Best is to take the test in the UK and get the endorsement.

Note that an “International Driving License” (IDL) is not required in the USA and is only important if the national license is not in English. However, some car rental agencies require international visitors to have an IDL regardless of the language of the national language.

Also, if you are traveling to the USA on the Visa Waiver Program you can only be in the USA for 90 days at a time. You have to leave every 90 days, and going to Canada, Mexico, and most Caribbean islands does NOT count as “leaving the USA” for Visa Waiver Program purposes.

the best model of a suzuki or yamaha motorbike, when i start my new jobs i am going to start learning to ride?

i can’t afford a car and i want to of stopped using the bus with the next wight months. buses are unreliable in my town and i can’t risk being late for work bcoz of a late or brokendown bus. this has happened in the past and i’ve been sacked cos of it

Why limit yourself to Suzuki and Yamaha? If reliability is a big thing for you, you are never – ever – going to beat Honda, and their build quality is better than anyone else’s.

As a learner, you have to do a day’s CBT training (around £100) before you can ride legally on the roads. Once you’ve done CBT, you can get a bike of upto 125cc, and Honda do them in all styles; traditional (CG125), trailie (Varadero), sports (CBR125), cruiser (Shadow) and supermoto (XR125L).

I had the Varadero until I took my test, and it was a great bike; 80-90mpg, cheap to insure, fantastic ride and it looked like a much bigger bike. Loads of people thought it must have been a 500-600cc bike.

People might try and tempt you with fancy 2-stroke exotica such as Aprilia sports bikes but take it from me; for what you want, a 4-stroke Honda fits the bill perfectly.

BTW, the person who said that bikes cost more to run than cars is wrong; everything about bikes is cheaper – servicing, fuelling, replacement parts.
