Just took my course a couple of months ago here in WI - $330, 2 full days, they provided instruction, the course and the bikes. The bikes were all 250's, but a variety of makes and models, and all pieces of junk. The speedo wasn't working on mine, and in my driving test I got dinged for not going fast enough (because I didn't have a speedo!) - go figure. You had to bring you own gear.
Once I finished the course and took the written and practical test I got a waiver to take to the DMV that got me out of taking the written and driving test administered by the state, but because I did not have the temps when I showed up to get my M endoresment I had to take the written temps test. Of course, having just taken the class and passing the more strenuous M endorsement test, the temps was a piece of cake. They gave me 30 min to complete it - I think I took 5.
