I did my test in the mid 70's on a Yamaha XS2. I wish I had that bike back now.

In Calif. (since about 1978) the test has always been a written and then riding around a painted course in the parking lot. Two circles clockwise and two counter clockwise keeping the front wheel between narrow painted lines.
Pass that, and you don't have to take the $300 course.
If money is no object, take the course! You'll be a better rider.
My first was a 1971 Suzuki ST125.
This time around (32 years later) on a Suzuki 2008 Burgman 400. Other than the written test, I had to go out of the parking lot of the DMV and come back in and park - DONE
There were no such thing as a motorcycle license for the first 10 years I road motorcycles. There was an under 5 brake horse power license you had to get before you had a auto drivers license. When I got home for Viet Nam in 1968, Texas came out with a motorcycle license. My wife was the first in line in the county when Texas came out with a motorcycle license. I took my wife's bike the day I got home and went and got my license. She had made a higher score than me, so I still have not heard the end of that!
