Thanks for this brother. Looks like you’re in Ontario & the way you approached this video, I’ve got considerably less nerves about getting my license. Thank you very much 😊
Glad I could help! Yes I am in Ontario. I have no doubt - You got this! let me know if I can be any help to get where you want to be.
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 I’ve never driven a motorcycle before. I’m wanting to finance the 2022 Harley Davidson Iron 883, but I’m not sure if going brand new would be for the best. My two questions for an experienced rider for yourself would be the following:
• Should I Finance New or Buy Used?
• Should I Put Crash Bars on my Motorcycle?
@@DynamicWrestlingGroup I recommend to do the safety course first before buying your first bike.
Most important thing is to find what '"Type" of bike you like. Safety course is a good opportunity to try different styles of bikes and then decide what type of bike you enjoy the most.
I have seen many students buying a cruiser just to realize they like sports bike more and vice a versa.
Used/finance/new/used - it boils down to personal choice/financial situation etc. I highly recommend new riders to buy used small cc (under 500cc) bike and improve riding skills. You can apply learned skills from small bike onto bigger bike.
If you start with a bigger bike, you are struggling with weight, too much power which in return prolongs your learning process.
Hope this helps to make a decision thats right for you.
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 That was immensely helpful. Thank you very much & I’ll be taking your advice.
@@DynamicWrestlingGroup don't do that to yourself. You'll regret buying a bike that feels like a truck as your first. Harley died in early 2000's anyways, maybe look at the older 80's Harley's or look into Honda or Yamaha's lineups from the 80's onward like the marauder, interceptor, maxim, virago etc
I got my motorcycle licence in Ontario, Canada back in 1990. I wrote my beginners at the start of summer, then rode with a group of buddies for a month or so during the summer. After those 4 or 5 weeks I went for my full M licence @ the MTO & passed!
--->within 20 minutes of getting my FULL M LICENCE my buddies & I were off on a road trip to the USA! I wore my helmet on the highway but when we got to the city in Minnesota we all took our helmets off as there is no helmet law there!
well congratulations riding your HD without helmet...bunch of idiots
Clear and great information, it helps me a lot , thanks!
I must say your vid is the most informative and sample of all ones I saw thx a brother
I appreciate that!
Love a short video that's not padded out . Good job !
I tried to be mindful of your time, Thank you for noticing that :)
Great information, clear and to the point.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Thank You .. Very Informative video. You Explained the steps simply but detailed
Thank you for noticing! much appreciated...
This video was the best one I’ve found! You laid it out so clear and concise. I learnt a lot just from this short video but it opened my eyes to how smooth this process can be.
This means a lot! EXACTLY what i was trying to achieve. Hope you get your license soon and join the community, all the best!
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 I’m hoping to get one in the new year! I want a Husqvarna Vitpilen so bad
Very helpful. Got my M1 this weekend. Waiting to do my M1 exit course
Amazing! Wish you all the best
Clear and to the point explanation. Thanks a lot!
Thank you sir!
Thanks, that's the info I needed.
Glad it helped :)
Great video. Thanks for this valuable info
Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks for the tips bro. Keep it up
Its my pleasure brother, safe riding!
Awesome! Thanks buddy!
Thanks Tyler! It was nice to meet you
Thanks for share this info, very helpful!!!!
Happy to help :)
Very! Thank you thank you!
I've been deliberating over getting my license for years. I grew up in a really rural area so the thought of driving on highways and in cities freaks me out - I'm not used to the traffic. But damn does it ever look like fun to ride the country roads. I'd love to take a trip across Canada on an adventure bike.
This video is helpful. Now I just need to stop being so worried about riding a bike. :P
If you were looking for a sign, this is it. This is the year to pull the trigger. Its normal to be freaked out by city traffic and highspeeds but it all can be conquered by training and practice. I have done multiple Canada cross country trips and those are one of my best experiences. I am big fan of adventure bikes for their capacity to go on and off roads. Not sure where you are located but if you are near Toronto hit me up, I will help you to enhance your skills! You can find my contact details at www.tractioncontrol.ca. If you are not in Toronto, look for motorcycle training schools in your area.
Riding is fun, when done right!
I am 22 born in Mississauga, just now going for my MTO test and i’m so excited!! thank you so much for making this video man. I think I will definitely do my M2-M course with MTO as well just to ensure I am prepared and to correct any bad habits I may pick up as an M2 rider.
You are on a right path! Keep up the practice and skills. Wish you all the best!
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 I have since bought a Vstar-650 😂
thanks brother. I was just about to got sign up to write my test but I'll check out those 3rd party sites first. very informative. Thanks again
Its my pleasure! Glad it helped, All the best!
Thanks for the info
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Aye 100th subscriber
Ehhh 🙌Thanks for your support! 🙏
Thanks Tushar for this amazing video, it is great and has valuable information regarding how to be trained thru your M licensing.
Asadollah
I had to appear 3 test for M1. Part 1 for M1, 24 Question and 19 is passing. Then two test from G1 20 each and 16 passing for each!
Very crisp and informative video. Thank you.
By having an overseas experience of over 10 years of riding motorcycles, do we get skip the 18 months wait period from M2 to M by showing the drivers license extract ? Basically, The way they have it for car license, where in we can directly appear for G test after G1.
Thank you 🙏🏽 Yes, you can skip the waiting period with overseas licenses.
However, it depends on the country of license.
I would recommend to inquire with MTO before booking the M test.
All the best!!
Great video man! Thank you! When would you recommend starting the process of getting your motorcycle license would spring be the best time to start?
Best time is NOW! Longer you wait, longer it takes to build experience for insurance. Get it done :)
thanks for the info, very clear.. i was looking to learn about how long are the waits for this licenses, what do these courses cost more or less.
waiting period varies as demands are typically higher after covid. COurse costs approximately $500 including licensing fees.
Thanks
My pleasure :)
Thanks buddy
My pleasure! 🙏
👑Thx.
Nice 🥳
Thank you!
Got all answers of my questions abot m license and if i'm not wrong, I think you're driving near to islington subway station 🤔
Glad it helped!
Hello, I just want to ask when is the best time to buy motorcycle gears at a discounted price in all motorcycle stores here in the GTA? Do they offer discounts during black Friday's? Thank you and more power to you.
Hey, Big Man... You just need learn something about LANE DISCIPLINE. 😃😃😃😃😃👍🙏 nice video!
I'm a student and I love motorcycles, now I want a vespa 50cc, what kind of restrictions do I have with this type of motorcycle, can I use it in a highway? Thanks for your videos, they are really informative .
Thank you! 50cc Vespa is not allowed on highway because most likely it would not reach highway appropriate speed. You need a motor vehicle that is capable of minimum 100kms/hour or more.
Thank you for the very informative video. One question I have is can you acquire you M license without owning a motorcycle? Similar to M2 can the school provide one you will take the test in? or can you rent or borrow one like we did for the G test?
Yes there are multiple options reach out to me at tractioncontrol.ca via phone and we can discuss there.
Did u only practise m1 tests before takkng or did u review g1 too? Had my G for over 10yrs but just wondering if u only did those tests
Hello, Awesome video. I am gonna become a beginner biker and excited about getting my motorcycle license sometime. I live in New Brunswick and was wondering about that motorcycle handbook you have in your description. Is that handbook relevant to my province New Brunswick as it is to Ontario or are they different. Also the third stage M is that the full license.
Its my pleasure! I am excited for you to join the motorcycle community. Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with NB licencing process and Yes M is a full license in Ontario.
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 K Thanks. I appreciate it.
great
Good summary - thx. But was that an illegal lane change @3 min mark LOL
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Thanks for bringing it to attention - The goal of this video is to help new riders and I always try my best to lead with example.
I just passed my MSF course!!!!
Amazing! Welcome to motorcycle community.
Thank you very much for the prompt / informative video !! for example if I want to do my M2 course April 15-17, I need to write my M1 test after Jan15 (90 days before the course) & the sooner the better if I want to get my M2 license get issued close to the course completion day. right?
Earliest you could upgrade your license from M1 to M2 is 60 days. If you are finishing the safety course on April 17th, I will recommend to get your M1 anytime between January 17th - February 17th. It’s best to get in February that way you have some grace period incase course got canceled. All the best!
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 Thanks for the good advise. I'll do the M1 test in February then
@@alkaviani1945 how did it go?
Thank you for this informative video! May I ask, could I start riding (using) the motorcycle after M1. Because in G license you can start driving after the written test right (with someone who has the full license). Is it possible in M1 as well? Thank you!
Yes you can but its going to be difficult to find the insurance on M1. I recommend to get M2 before getting insured, the price difference is quite high typically.
Appreciated but the only problem how safe driving motorcycle on street . It's just weekend hobbies forgot to mention how much total cost
RIght! riding a motorcycle has innate risk attach to it but with proper TRAINING and PRACTICE - you can reduce the risk.
I am assuming you are wondering how much it cost to get a license - it depends on which school but approximately $500
Thanks again for the short and right to the point video. I am going to get Rebel 1100 DCT as my first bike. Can I do the M test with an automatic bike?
It’s my pleasure! That’s a great bike 👍🏽 For the M series tests - you will need manual transmission bike.
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 Oh, didn't know that. If I need a manual bike for my M road test after 18 month passed of my M2, then it's better to get a manual bike as my 1st bike instead of an automatic one. This way I'll have good enough experience for my M road test.
When you say you have to hold your license for a certain period of time, what does that involve to do so? Do you recommend getting the bike first? And what’s a good beginner bike that can also be on the highway?
You don’t have to do anything to hold the license. You can hold your license level even if you don’t ride. However you need to upgrade until M level before it expires.
Getting a bike before license doesn’t make any difference unless you can start insuring. Earlier you built history, earlier your premiums will go down. But you would need a license to start insuring.
Any bike under 500cc is your best bet for best beginner bike for highway and street riding. Also these bikes are cost effective on insurance premiums.
Hope this helps!
Can u make a video on insurance how much it’s gonna be for m1 m2 holder

Hello. This may be a stupid question but.....ive never been on a motorcycle before, but i am interested in a Honda Navi because you dont have to deal with a clutch etc..... How do you get your licence ( theyre 109ccs), if you dont want to learn a reg cycle??? Im guessing you cant?? Nice vid!!
Hi no its a valid question. Navi's fall under regular motorcycle license class. I would recommend to do safety course (they teach you how to ride and do the testing at the end, you will be using school bikes) once you have your M2 you can ride your Navy everywhere. Hope this helps!
This might be a dumb question and I may have just misunderstood but how does the M test work? If they making you ride on the road? How does the instructor follow or evaluate you on your test? They can ride with you on the same vehicle like you would doing a G test? or is it all done within a radius and tester can visibly see you?
Thats actually a valid question - Instructor/examiner will follow you behind in a car. There is a driver for examiner and examiner will sit on passenger seat giving you directions via communication device. Hope this clears the confusion.
What about international people who come to Canada with a prior license in their own country with few years of experience does the process takes less time there or is it the same as new learner
You may be able to skip M2 and directly appear for M test. It is based on person to person basis and I would suggest to visit drive test centre to see if its possible in your case. I do recommend to go through M2 as doing a M2 course reduces your insurance plus if you havent ridden in Canada. It is difficult to pass the M test as the test is more than being able to ride. If you still decide to skip the M2 and go for M, I can prepare you for the test. You can find me at www.tractioncontrol.ca. All the best :)))
I have already given my g2 so do i again need to give m1?
Haha Royal York & Bloor! I know where you are 😊
Haha you caught me
what if i am riding Honda navi. it is road legal bike but not very capable of highway speeds
Thank you for the information, I have questions for you.
I hold a Full G license in Ontario and I have Experience certificate from my Home country of 4+ years of driving both Car and Motorcycle.
Do i get to skip M2 or not really?
What benefit do i get of having a full G license?
My pleasure! There is a possibility you may be able to skip M2 and go straight for M. Its decided on person to person basis and you will need to visit drive test to see if skipping M2 applies to you. Personally I do not recommend skipping M2 as you do get insurance discount for doing the M2 course. Plus if you havent ridden in Canada, it will be difficult to pass the M test as its more than being able to ride a bike. If you still decide to skip the M2, reach out to me and I can train you for the test. You can find me at tractioncontrol.ca. All the best!
Are you allowed to own a full-speed bike during the whole process or do you have to get a standard bike first?
You can own any motorcyle, there are no restriction on engine size in Canada. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the info! I'm planning to take my M1 written test in the GTA but I only see "LM" no "M1" anywhere. What is the difference?
LM is for limited speed (mopeds/scooters) You can visit any Drive Test Centre with LM2 or M services to write M1 test. Just to be sure, I would also recommend to either call or ask associate at Drive Test Centre before you line up. All the best!

@@tractioncontrol.ca1 Thanks man!
Does safety course provide motorcycle for m2 test in case I don’t have my own?
Yes! They will provide motorcycles for the course and the M2 test.
To get your M license and do the M test do we need to get our own motorcycle and show proof of ownership and insurance or can we rent a motorcycle to do the M test?
You could just say it’s borrowed if anyone asks
Nice content 👍, could have discussed the cost for each level and the fee for the training school as well.
Thank you! Training school cost is about $600 for M2 and $450 for M
I’m new in Canada, could you share how much does it cost for the first bike insurance? Thanks
Its a difficult question to answer as price changes from person to person. Here is the video with all the details that you need to know about insurance. Hope this helps!

The Ontario graduated Motorcycle system is broken. Most riders I spoke to write the M1 and do not ride until they can book an M2. Then, you cannot find an M2 test anywhere in eastern Ontario for months. Our preferred location is Cornwall but there is nothing up to Ottawa and even west of Kingston. Insurance on a 1982 XL500 is $650/month for an M1.
That is not "broken". The only way you will get any experience off of an M1 license is if you know someone who will allow you to ride their motorcycle to learn on. Insurance companies are not foolish enough to insure novice riders OR drivers who only have their M1 or G1 licenses. The course of action you should be taking as someone who does not have any experience NOR anyone to donate them a motorcycle/dirtbike/scooter to learn on is to book an M2 learners' course in which motorcycles will be supplied by the organizing group. To be frank, I think ANYONE who wants to get their motorcycle license should take this course for the experience in general. To boot, when you pass it grants you an M2 license in which you WILL be able to get affordable insurance on. I know the course is not cheap (600-800 dollars) however, it is worth every penny.
@@austincouto4652 I don't think insurance would cover damages from an M1 rider who is not on the policy of the M2. I have been riding since 1985 and motocross prior to that.
@@cinemabunny insurance does cover even an M1 rider. same story for G1 drivers.
when is this process do you get the actual bike, gear and insurance? im so confused because you need the license to get the insurance, to get the bike but you need the bike to get the license?
I see how it can be confusing, here is the step by step approach:
Step1: Get license through safety school (bikes will be provided by the school for the test but you will need to arrange riding gear)
Step 2: Find a bike you like then get insured
Step 3: Visit Service Ontario to transfer ownership under your name, you will need below documents
Owner's responsibility - Provide Bill of Sale, UVIP document and Registration.
Buyer's responsibility - Insurance, Safety certificate and transfer ownership.
On a side note, you dont need a license to get a bike as long as its insured and plated. Bike can be either towed or ridden by any licensed rider (a friend)
I will be making a video on how to buy used bike in Ontario, stay tuned!
Hope this helps!
I have no motorcycle driving experience will I be taught at the safety courses?
Yes! The course is designed for someone who have never ridden a motorcycle before.
Where can I get the M2 course in Canada? If we hold a G license, is the process still the same?
Process is the same for G license holders. I have added a link of government approved schools in video description. All the best!
Is the M1 test at any service Ontario or only the drive test locations?
Only at Drive Test Centre
am so confused can u get any cc motorbike at any age? am 19 for example am i allowed a 1000 cc or is thjere a limit like the uk
Unlike UK, there is no cc limit in Canada. A 16 year old license holder can ride 1000cc legally....
i got this 100cc(more like 75-80 probs) engine that mounts on a bike, can i not get an m license to ride it? it doesnt go highway speeds.
That would not work. You need street legal motorcycle with safety features. Look for motorcycle rentals to do the test.
Wow thanks for information also is the Honda CBR125R good for a starter bike
Glad I could help! Its hard question to answer without looking at your riding. Take with a grain of salt what I am about to suggest. If you have a prior bicycle experience and have no problems with balancing on two wheels - I would recommend minimum 250/300cc. If balance is the issue, 125cc will help you to pick up skills quicker (since you are not dealing with lot of weight) - just my two cents. All the best!
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 aight thx 🙏
I have given M1 test recently and booked M2 test within 15 days of getting M1....I booked M2 with learning curves the 3 days course .....My question is am i eligible to give M2?? As my M1 is not 60 days old
Yes you are! You can do the test anytime before M1 expiry but you still have to complete 60 days of M1 license before upgrading.
How can I convert the motorcycle license I got from Turkey 4 years ago to an M class license? thanks
You will have to visit Drive test to find out the information. Every international countries have different rules when it comes to transferring licenses. All the best!
👑Would you know off hand if I took the Motorcycle Rider Training CEMO-801 CEMO-801 at the Centenial College do they supply a motorcycle?
Does insurance increase if you have your M licence but don't own a motorcycle yet?
Insurance care of "insured licensing experience" so if you are M license holder with no insurance history, its considered as a new rider with no previous experience. Hope this helps!
I have a question and I hope you can help me. I have my M1 and it will expire on August 22, 2022. If I enroll in the motorcycle training course before the expired date and pass, do I still need to wait 60 days in order to upgrade even though I would have pass the expiry date?
No you dont have to wait 60 more days after the training course. Its 60 days from your M1 - you can pretty much pick up your license right after training course. All the best!
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 Ok thanks
Also, your M1 expires December 31 2022. The expiry date has been extended
Wjen you get the m1 license are you allowed to ride before getting m2
Yes! you can start riding with M1 BUT its hard to find insurance company that is willing insure M1 riders. If you find one, its usually charging much higher premiums. Personally, I would recommend to wait until you have M2. If you really cant wait, then find a company that is willing to change premium rates from M1 to M2 in the middle of the contract. All the best!
so once i have an M1 license, can i buy a motorcycle and drive it right away (with the relevant conditions)
Yes! as long as you have insurance under your name and motorcycle is registered - you are all set!
if i do 2 days safety course, still i have to go to drive test centre for giving test ??? i heard after doing 2 days safety course we dont have to give test . plzz help me out
You don't have to go drive test for the test - Safety course will do the licensing test (on behalf of drivetest) at the end of two days. Hope that helps!
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 ty so much brother ✌❤
In Ontario what is the youngest age u can take the M1 written test?
16
Does m2 come with a physical card? I'm currently in the middle of getting my G (exchange out of province license) and M2.
Yes! it will be extension of your Ontario license. GM2 or G2M2
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 thank you;)
Can anyone please suggest where can I get training on affordable price, I am a beginner. Had my license back in India
learningcurves.ca/
I did my M1 June i had 64 questions
Thats a critical information. The test have changed since the video was made. I will add correction in video description.
so i can basically go buy a harley after i get my M1 license and then enrol in safety school and also give the test for M2?
yes yes and yes. But also remember the insurance on M1 is hard to find and when you find it, its typically ridiculous amount.
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 so your advice? pass M2 using motorcycle the course provides and then invest in your own ride?
I have G license, so I don't need to take M1 right?
Correct! you still need to get M1
Recommended courses to get to M2 or full M?
Here is the list of school, I recommend to read online reviews to guage school thats right for you. All the best!
www.ontario.ca/page/government-approved-motorcycle-safety-courses
do i need to have M license to drive a 49cc motorcycle ?
To my best knowledge, you do need "LSM license (limited speed motorcycle) here is the link to ministry website for more information: www.ontario.ca/page/get-motorcycle-licence#section-5
What if you have zero experience riding but want to get your license?
The licensing schools will teach you. Most students have no experience.
Bro are all the exams easy or tough to pass
Its subjective! depends on the rider skill. M2 test is a breeze for riders with previous street riding experience and for new rider, need some practice.
3:02 no signal while changing lanes..
Here comes keyboard worrior, step aside everyone.
@@tractioncontrol.ca1 lmao tell me I’m wrong though
What was your total expense to get M license?
I recommend to visit goverment appoved school websites to see current prices. link : www.ontario.ca/page/government-approved-motorcycle-safety-courses
Can I drive motorcycle with M1 license?
Yes you can as long as you have insurance. However, its difficult to find an insurance company that insures M1 riders.
Even if you do find one, premiums are most likely going to be significantly higher than M2/M.
Based on my experience, I do not recommend.
Can I rent a motorcycle for my M test?
Yes you can! We can arrange bike rental at lowest price in GTA. Reach out to me via email: Ride@tractioncontrol.ca Or DM me on social media: instagram.com/tractioncontrol.ca/
can i ride e motorcycle with m2 in cities?
Bro is it really that easy?
Hahaha really it is! 💪
How much it cost ?
Like for everything including the safety course and all of the money we should have
NaaaaYce
🙏
Such a lame system!!
I’m 41 with no accidents ever, and I still have to S the governments D to get a motorcycle license.
Yep. Same deal here. I'm 49. Had a motorcycle in the past. Got one again. It's a total cash grab for the province and Insurance. Since now we have to have 100% all year coverage. Months we can't ride. Yea, thieves pretty much.
as a girl I want to ride a motor cycle wish me luck
Wish you all the best! Yes you can...
L
they wont give you insurance with an m1 and you cant get an ownership without insurance, no practice i guess? money grab
I agree! Wish there was a better way :/
No it's not its a pain in the ass .wait wait and wait sum more
LOL :D
its rediculous ......and getting worse everday
It is unfortunate
can you ride bike after passing written test?
Yes you can as long as you are insured. Its difficult to get insured under M1 and if you find one its gonna be most likely costly.
