If you take your 6 Endorsement basic ability road test on a motorcycle with a 400cc engine size (or less), you’re given an "R" restriction that limits you to drive motorcycles 400cc or less. To get rid of this restriction you can retest on a motorcycle larger than 400cc, or successfully complete an approved motorcycle training course.

Otherwise, the restriction expires when you finish the MGDL program and become a fully experienced rider.

When you’re eligible to validate your 6 Endorsement you have to pay your $500 MGDL fee (unless you’ve successfully completed an SGI-approved motorcycle training course and can show proof).

Pass

You’re now a learner motorcycle driver with a Motorcycle Learner 6 Endorsement! After passing your computer-based or written exams, vision test and your basic ability road test or SGI-approved motorcycle training, remember to validate your endorsement at a motor licence issuer and pay your $15 fee.

If your licence expires, it adds extra time to the MGDL program, meaning you won’t graduate to an experienced motorcycle rider as quickly.

Fail

Knowledge exams: You can schedule another test as early as the next day.

Motorcycle training or basic ability road test: You can retake the SGI-approved motorcycle training or schedule another basic ability road test (but if you fail the road test a third time, you have to complete the SGI-approved motorcycle training).

24-month time limit: As a new rider, you have to ride as a learner for 12 months before being eligible to take the non-learner 'M' Endorsement road test. If you don't pass within 24 months of getting your 6 Endorsement, you have to rewrite the motorcycle knowledge test and restart the MGDL process from the first stage.

Practice driving

You have to practice as a learner rider for at least 12 months (max. 24 months). If your licence expires or you get a licence suspension, your 12-month period will be delayed.

The learner period expires after 24 months if you haven’t passed the SGI motorcycle road test. You have to rewrite and pass the motorcycle written knowledge tests (signs, rules of the road and motorcycle knowledge) to get another motorcycle learner endorsement. If you do, you don't have to pass the basic ability road test again or retake the motorcycle training. You'll have another 24 months to pass your SGI motorcycle road test (without the 12-month waiting period).
