Nevada law permits motorcycles on all roads and highways. Nevada law NRS—Chapter 486 establishes basic rules, which are created to keep everyone safe on the road. To operate a motorcycle on public roads in Nevada, you must be at least 16 years old. You must also hold a motorcycle license or have a motorcycle endorsement on your driver’s license. Nevada residents are required to register all vehicles, including motorcycles, with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. The Nevada DMV does accept transfers of licenses from other states. In that case, the driving record from the previous state becomes part of the Nevada DMV records. The minimum insurance required in Nevada for motorcycles is “$25,000/$50,000/$20,000”. You should always carry proof of insurance when riding.
As with any vehicle, you are required to follow the rules of the road. In addition, you and any passengers must wear approved helmets, and your motorcycle must contain all the required equipment listed in Nevada Revised Statute 486.180. Required equipment includes at least one headlight, a red tail light, brakes, reflectors, mirrors, and more.
