I really don't know. I think you can but am not sure. Try googling "motorcycle laws in Oklahoma."

Good luck!

No, Here are the driving age requirements.

You CAN operate a motorcycle at age 15 in Oklahoma. But it appears that this is a learners permit and requires you to be accompanied by an adult. Read the attached to be sure....
Here is the link. Page 1-4

Motorcycle Learner's Permit

If you are under the age of 16, you may apply for a motorcycle learner's permit. Until you turn 16, you are not allowed to carry a passenger. This permit has numerous other restrictions::

* Motorcycle or scooter must be no larger than a 250cc piston displacement.

* You may ride only between 4:30 a.m. and 9 p.m.

* If your motorcycle piston displacement is smaller than 125cc, your speed may not exceed 35 mph.

* If your motorcycle piston displacement is larger that 125cc but smaller than 250cc, you may drive the posted speed limit; however, you may not ride on an interstate highway or turnpike.

These restrictions will automatically lift when you become 16 years of age; however, while you are still under 18 years of age, you must wear a helmet.

Are you going on a student exchange program ?
According to that website you can ride a bike under 250cc if under 16. At least that is my reading of it.
But if it is like NM you will ahve to be a resident for 3 months before applying for your OK license. Do you have one from your home country. You would probably be able to drive under that if only staying for a short period.
