Depends on the state...

Here in MI, you can take the written test and get what is similar to a learners permit for bikes (meaing you can only ride with another licensed rider, but you can go back an renew it after 60 days forever I think).

Then once you pass the riding test you get a full CYcle endorsement. The thing is you can either a) go to the secretary of state(DMV) and just take the riding test on your bike or b) go take the motorcycle saftey course, which will let you ride little 250cc bikes and practice riding. At the end of that course they will test you(using the SAME riding test you could have taken in option "a") on the 250cc bikes which is easier.

The MSF course is easier to pass (only about 1/4 ppl failed my class and something like 60-70% fail the sec of state test the first time) and gives you some good information as well.

The price varies greatly from state to state because some states will pay for a portion of the cost (here in MI I think its like 35 bucks for the state sponsored ones, or you can take the Harley course for ~300). The problem with the $35 course is that it is always full and very hard to get in.

My first streetbike I bought wrecked from a salvage shop, as I was rebuilding it I took the $35 course so by the time the bike was running I was already endorsed.

yup he is in canada. Vag, try asking xyu or Rubbersidedown VERY nicely and they can probably give you the info you seek.
