Nope. You can actually take your test on a 150cc scooter and then go and buy yourself a 600cc super bike. Thats why theres no shortage of high performance parts bikes, only wrecked once!

Here in Illinois I believe you have to be 18 at least to ride over a 150cc bike. I think thre should be a time frame before you can move up. Its crazy here that new riders buy a super sport or Harley there first year or two. There are actually more big cruiser crashes that Ive seen. Mr Yuppie goes out and buys the biggest, expensive chrome laden land yacht so he can show off to his friends while he rides it on Sundays. I see this first hand.

I think a basic or advanced motorcycle safety class would always be a good thing.

Talkin about counter steering, very important. My wifes takin that course too. Its a 3 day course, 6-8 hrs a day. After you pass they give you a certificate that you take to the DMV and just pick up your new license. Its free too. I was supposed to take the advanced class but was still to messed up after gettin hit by a car, plus it was raining and cold out.
Wish'd I wouldve taken the course when I first started out, wouldve saved me some road rash.
And for some wierd reason Liberty Mutual insurance gives you only a whoppin one dollar safety course discount.
