No, you dont have to have a motorcycle license to OWN a bike.
Yes, you DO have to have a motorcycle license to drive one.
Or you can get a temp. permit from the DMV to ride...but they expire within 3 months (I believe). I think you have to take a written test to get this permit.
You should take the MSF course. Pain in the ass because it takes three days and cost so much, but its worth it. You'll be motorcycle licensed for life.
(I feel like I work for the DMV with all these repeating licensing questions.)
