May 20, 2014 at 3:11 comment added imoatama No, you may only drive what you are licensed to drive, and as you say yourself, this does not include a motorcycle. My brother undertook a similar endeavour to what you planned - renting a motorcycle in Vietnam with no previous experience riding one. He came off it on a mountain road and was very lucky to not go over the side OR under the oncoming truck that had spooked him off it in the first place. He took off all the skin down one side of his body though. If you want to ride a motorbike, learnt to ride a motorbike. No matter which country your in, the law typically requires this much of you

May 5, 2013 at 8:58 comment added Saaru Lindestøkke @ThorstenS. I appreciate your concern, but I don't see how this is relevant to my question. I didn't mention anything like "how safe is it to ride a motorcycle in Bolivia", so please stay on topic. You've answered the question to the extent of your knowledge on this topic, thank you for that. If I have concerns about the road safety in Bolivia I will ask a separate question and this will give you an opportunity to show your knowledge on the safety there, but it's not the time yet.
May 4, 2013 at 23:51 comment added Thorsten S. You have no road experience in Bolivia which has a traffic fatality rate per vehicle which is 20-30 times higher than in the EU, you have no experience with a motorbike which increases the likelihood to be killed or maimed by the factor 7 if you are experienced, but you "have thought of that and understand the risks involved". Rrrrright. To optimize your fun do not forget to rent a Kawasaki Ninja with 1200 cc. And for the ultimate adrenaline rush use your T-Shirt and Jeans which is a) cool and b) gives you an incentive to prevent falling because you know it will rip your skin off.
May 4, 2013 at 1:28 comment added Saaru Lindestøkke No experience (only drove a scooter several times), and it's too expensive.
May 3, 2013 at 23:07 comment added DJClayworth How much experience of riding a motorbike do you have, and why don't you have a license to drive on in your home country?

May 3, 2013 at 15:50 comment added Saaru Lindestøkke No, not allowed. I hoped the link to the wiki was clear enough. Apparently not, so I've edited my question to explain the situation better.
May 3, 2013 at 15:49 comment added Gagravarr For those who maybe don't know the European license codes - are you allowed to ride a motorbike in your home country on that license?
