It’s 300 bucks, but you learn how to ride with some skill and confidence, and more importantly how to not die. It consists of like 8 hours of classroom time and like 16 hours of (really fun) parking lot exercises on little Hondas that they provide. Something like that anyhow, it’s been 8 years since I took it. They hold them at MCC on West Henrietta Rd. The final exam is much more comprehensive than a dumbass DMV road test, but it is also much easier because you are better prepared. When you pass your final exam you are given your motorcycle license. No DMV involvement other than getting your permit so you can take the class.

:word:  
The MSF course is the way to go for sure. Once completed you get a certificate in the mail. Take that to DMV and they give you your license.
