This varies from place to place. In some places, there is a specific motorcycle learner's license that you need to have before riding a motorcycle. In some places, you can ride a motorcycle with a normal driver's license. In other places, no license is required.
Yes there are lots of schools around for teaching you how to ride a motorcycle. They charge a nominal fee. For more info http://www.themotorcycleschool.com/
If you are young and want to ride a motorcycle, your parents may be concerned about this idea. One way to reduce their concerns about you riding a motorcycle is to attend a motorcycle training school. Motorcycle training schools teach you the proper way to ride a motorcycle safely. They teach defensive riding techniques and ways to avoid accidents due to obstructions in the road, poor weather conditions and other careless drivers who are not paying attention.
With the exception of the potential acceleration forces, and the fact that you don't have to pedal, riding a motorcycle is very similar to riding a bicycle. However, due to the speed achievable on motorcycles, and the fact that motorcycles are often ridden in traffic, motorcycles can be much more dangerous. Most states require that anyone applying for a motorcycle license take an approved course and/or pass a riding test, and required or not, this is an excellent idea. You would have to take another driving course to learn how and to get the correct license. yes you can ride a motercycle at the age of 14
I know of people that ride cross country with their motorcycle. You will not obtain a fine if you drive for more than 50 miles
Yes, if you plan to ride it. Most State laws require the rider to also obtain the Insurance. For more information and resources on Motorcycle Insurance, check out http://www.findinsurance.us/motorcycle/motorcycle-home.html
In the UK, a child aged 16 and above can ride a 50cc scooter on the road provided they have passed their Motorcycle Theory Test, Motorcycle Riding Test, have Insurance and the bike is taxed and MOT'd.
You can ride a 125cc motorcycle on motorways providing you have passed your test and are riding without "L plates". It isn't the best experience as you are almost constantly red-lining the revs in top gear, but it can definitely be done.
