What is the minimum age requirement to operate any two-wheel vehicle over 350cc?

To operate any two-wheel vehicle over 350cc, the minimum age requirement is 21 years. This regulation is in place to ensure that riders possess a sufficient level of maturity, experience, and understanding of the responsibilities associated with operating a larger, more powerful motorcycle.

Motorcycles exceeding 350cc can offer higher speed and require greater skill to handle safely compared to smaller bikes. Thus, setting the age threshold at 21 helps to minimize the risks associated with operating these vehicles, aiming to improve road safety for both the rider and other road users.

Younger riders may not have the same level of physical and cognitive development necessary to react appropriately in complex traffic situations that may arise while riding a larger motorcycle. This age requirement reflects an understanding of the importance of experience and the ability to make sound judgments while riding.
