I agree too. I took the Basic Motorcycle Safety Course before taking the
license test back in 86 or 87. I had a bike for awhile from 89-91. If I
ever got back on a motorcycle, I'd take the basic (again) & the advanced
course (which I never took) even though I'm still licensed for a
motorcycle--you can imagine how rusty my skills are since I haven't driven
since 91. Actually, yesterday while out with my husband, I playfully
suggested I get a motorbike with a side-car.
I highly recommend the course; here's MSF web page if anyone is interested.
You can easily find courses in your state.

Perhaps the training process is at fault, rather than the test,
though. Here in the US most States don't require a motorcycle
training program. Tests vary from ridiculous (come to a complete stop
without putting your foot down and then go again) to worthless
(maneuver your bike around an obstacle course that's too tight for
anything other than the smallest street legal dirt bikes) to just
silly (accelerate to 15mph and then stop in the box).
