Japan's Small Motorcycle License (125cc) Explained: 2026 Guide to Cost and Process
PHOTOBUNBUN RIDER'S MAGAZINE↗ View original

BunBun Rider's Magazine published a 2026 guide to Japan's small motorcycle license, which covers bikes up to 125cc. For holders of a car license, the AT-only course takes 8 hours of practical training and costs roughly ¥70,000–110,000, while the unrestricted (MT) course takes 10 hours and costs about ¥80,000–130,000. An intensive course can complete the license in as little as 3–4 days.

Before I got my license I was nervous about the cost too, but if you already have a car license, the AT-only course starts around ¥70,000 and the MT course around ¥80,000 — and it's only 8 hours of training for AT versus 10 for MT. I really want first-timers to know this: you can even finish in an intensive 3-4 day course, so there's no need to overthink it.

Bet a lot of people want to debut on a Grom or Monkey125 with this license.

There are more 125cc-legal bikes now than ever, so getting this license is genuinely worth it.

Only 10 hours of manual training before hitting public roads still feels a bit thin to me.

A 3–4 day intensive course really lowers the barrier, that's a relief.

AT-only from 70k yen is cheaper than I expected.
