Yes, motorcycles do require a different license. You can get your license when you turn 16 and then you must take a class afterwards. You can find classes locally usually.

To find the laws in your state, you can consult the state DMV or Department of Public Safety. Some states require an endorsement on your driver's license that verifies you have met the requirements for operating a motorcycle.

Yes, in most U.S. states and foreign countries you need a separate license to operate a motorcycle. A separate written test is required, and some U.S. states also require a riding test (on your own motorcycle). A designation 'M' is added to your existing vehicle license. Contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles for specific requirements in your area.

I don't know about every state, but in most, no. You can get just a motorcycle license.

To my knowledge, they're one in the same. The distinction is that on your driver's license it will state you are certified to operate a motorcycle as well as a car.

Yes. If you possess a drivers licence, you'll have to get a motorcycle endorsement added to it in order to be able to operate a motorcycle.
