I am trying to get my license without having to take the safety course. It is $20 vs $210. That is my only reason for doing it this way. However, on the Tennessee website, the type licenses are as follows: Motorcycle Only (Class M) (126cc and up)
Motorcycle Secondary (In addition to a regular driving license)
Motor-Driven Cycle (Scooter) (51cc-125cc)
Motorized Bicycle (Under 50cc)

So how exactly would the Grom be classified? Is it considered a scooter for licensing application? To me it doesn't seem to be covered in any of these categories.

I have had a motorcyle license endorsement in 3 different states and it was an endorsement to the regular driver's license. It allows the legal operation of a street legal motorcycle on the roads regardless of engine size. Did not have 4 different classifications only 1. In your state of Tn. looks like the Motorcycle Secondary is the one you need as it covers motorcycles without size of engine restrictions and is in addition to regular driver's license. The Grom is a street legal motorcycle. Some states have engine size restrictions for operation on interstate highways and I think 150cc is the threshold, so the Grom is not legal to operate on the interstate in those restrictive states. We do not have those bogus rules in Florida. Does Tn?

I guess Motor-Driven Cycle 50-125cc?

Why pay and take the test for an engine size restrictive license? Get the Motorcycle Secondary and you have zero restrictions to bikes engine size.

Take the test. Its very easy. You can Miss 6 questions and still pass... And If you have ridden a bike before you will pass the skill test no problem. Here un knoxville I just had to ride ride around parking lot one time...

So it sounds like the license is good for everything. Just when it said a min of 126cc that threw me off.

If you take the class the MC certificate grants you a lower MC insurance rate normally because it shows that you took it via a certified State approved school. Most of the CMSP in Calif are State approved and is part of our DMV fees.

In Tennessee it costs $210 and only reduces my insurance by $3 a month. It would take years for that to break even. Maybe in other states it works out.

i did the MSF class here in NC at the local college.. was easy.. however there were some things i never learned even though i had rode minibikes/motorcycles as a kid/teenager.. since i never took any of them on an actual road (legally cough).. it cost around 150.. most are common sense stuff.. slamming brakes.. etc.. the class was VERY basic and even some of the student had never been on a motorcycle before.. they actually scared me when they were behind me.. lol.. but like everyone said.. just go take the test at DMV and go from there..
