This website also provides sample tests
Well I will give you the basics for most states.
Almost every states will require you to pass a written exam to get your motorcycle learner's permit. The information that you will need to learn for the written test will be found in the information found in your state's Motorcycle Operator's Manual, which you can usually obtain online at your state's Department of Motor Vehicles Web Site, or by visiting your local DMV office for a hard copy of the manual. The website will just save you gas.
Basically every state will require you to take a road test. Also you will have to take an Approved Motorcycle Rider Safety Course
...
Anyways that is just the basics. It is hard for me to say the exact set of test you have to take because I do not know which state you live in.
But you can go http://search.dmv.org/dmv/motorcycle-permit here to find out more. GOOD LUCK.

In California: There's a full check-list of things, including having a permit for at least 6 months, passing a vision exam, and written test, as well as a safety course.

---- Most states have similar rules. Check in with the DMV directly for your state, as it's the best way to ensure that you get the appropriate information for where you live.
From a rider's perspective, you'll want to get at least 30-50 hours of practice in, if your state allows, before taking a skills test. You should be comfortable with driving on streets you're not used to, as the skills tests will sometimes take you to place you haven't rode before. Also, it's a good idea to review the basic road rules via a driver's handbook before taking the exam.

To take a riders class you must have the RIDERS PERMIT (approving the written test in the DMV gives you the Permit).
(the CALIFORNIA MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK can be downloaded from the DMV site)
HOW DO I GET THE MOTORCYCLE DRIVERS LICENSE?
- You must study the Motorcycle Manual provided by the DMV.
- To download the "California Motorcycle Handbook" go to : HTTP://WWW.DMV.CA.GOV/PUBS/PUBS.HTM (you will need Adobe Acrobat).
- Approve the written test and you get a "Permit" that allows you to ride a motorcycle during the day, no passengers and no freeways.
- When comfortable with your riding skills you may take the "Riding Test" at the DMV (following circles and lines in the DMV parking lot)
- After taking and passing the riding test you get your Class M1 license (Motorcycle 1).
- DMV phone is 1.800.777.0133 (8am to 5 pm) and the web site is WWW.DMV.CA.GOV

Info about a riders class to improve your proficiency?
FAQ - Frequently asked questions (copied from the site linked below):
What do we learn in the class?
- I will cover all the "physics" related to the motorcycle behavior in turns (low and high speed), braking and accelerating.
- Special emphasis in understanding the "forces" (centrifugal, gyroscopic and linear) that affect the stability of the motorcycle.
- Explanation and understanding off all motorcycle controls and devices related to controlling the bike.
- Special motorcycle techniques: how to downshift and blip, up shifting without clutch, trail braking, etc.
- Proper motorcycle turning technique (for low and high speed) and progressive braking.
- How to be safe in city streets, freeways and mountain roads.
- Safety tips and examples of how to avoid panic reactions.
- In my class you will learn how to coach yourself to be a safe and better rider.
How long it takes?
- The class is about 3 (very intense) hours.
- After the "theory" part you will practice hands on some of the techniques.
- You will receive a print-out of the class to be able to review it and practice.
Is the 3 hs. class enough for me to learn how to ride?
- Throughout the class you will learn the basics of motorcycling and safety.
- These are the tools that you will need to become a good rider.
- After the class you will have to buy a small (not the one you like, but a "small") motorcycle and practice for several months to become a good and safe rider.
- Is the discipline in applying your new knowledge after the class, with dedication (and lots of practice) that will give you the final skills to ride a motorcycle with confidence and safety
Do I need a motorcycle for the class?
- Yes, the student has to provide his own bike (with insurance)
Does this class gives me the slip for the DMV?
- No, this is a private class with emphasis in "real life" riding techniques, no rules and regulations.
- If you are 21 years old or younger you must take the Motorcycle Rider Education course.

Then, you can either follow a course or go straight to the Licensing exams, usually a written (computer (true/false)) and then a closed circuit where you can demonstrate stopping, turning, etc capability. Then usually a driving exam on the road.
You need to check with your State/Prov MotorVehicles office to get more details specific to your area.
All in all, it took me a full summer to my permit.
Good luck

M$To receive the actual license you must be 17 in my state, and you must complete three exams, road signs, road rules/laws, then an on-road test. You must also pass a vision test. Then you have your license. In my state if you have a regular driver's license you must surrender it and have another made with the motorcycle endorsement.

M$Go to the DMV and take the written and safety tests.
Licensing costs - $10-$15 - varies by state
If you have a regular drivers license the motorcycle safety test certificate is accepted as a motorcycle operators permit until you get the actual license from the state, which you must do in 30 days (in most cases)
All states have a 'rules of the road' test and an 'operator safety' test. In other words, just like driving a car you have to pass a written test and a safe driving test where you demonstrate that you know how to operate the controls.
Most states add a classification (sometimes called an endorsement) to your motorcycle license. If you do not have a drivers license they issue you a motorcycle operator permit.
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation sponsors a safety course which is offered at most community colleges through the summer. Passing this course and receiving a certificate is a requirement for getting the motorcycle endorsement or license, and in some states it exempts you from the rules of the road test. If you have moved from another state, you will be able to get the motorcycle license in your new state, but you will have to take the state run tests.
You can find the answer to specific questions about your states licensing process on the Motorcycle Safety Foundation web site where they have links to the DMV web sites of every state. Good luck! Ride Safe!
