Hi all. Im european with a car driving for Qatar but I want to obtain the motorbike one. I have no experience so I need lessons with a driving school I guess. Any idea how is the test, the process and the price I can expect?
Many thanks in advance!

Hey, Im not sure if its the same here in Qatar but I took my Motorbike license in U.A.E.

You will surely need some lessons, I myself knew how to ride somewhat but still failed. I was used to riding a 600cc and I learned on a 400cc, but they test on a 125cc.

The test went as follows: You start the bike up and you have to ride between 4 cones zig zaging in and out of them then you go on to a figure eight a few times then back to the cones again...you can not put your feet down on the ground at all, one touch of your foot and you fail, you lose the test fee and you'll have to wait about 2 weeks to 1 month for another date. Be sure you are ready to take the test because its a pain to fail.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the replies. In my european licence I only had car driving licence wich has been automatically transfered to my Qatari Licence.

Regarding the motorbike licence I want to learn how to drive one and obtain the licence here. Recommendations for driving schools?

Thanks again

you have to register in any driving schools . if you know how to drive , i dont think you need to take classes they will just submit your papers to assign a test date for you .
