I too recommend the class, especially if you are a new rider.
Realistically though, all you need to do is take the written test for your permit (no passengers, fwy, or night time), then get a bike to do the physical test at the dmv for your actual licence. Borrow something from a friend that is small and easy to maneuver since the test is in the parking lot and involves you staying between 2 lines as you pull from a stop, go around a circle, and then back to where you started. The person giving the test may also have you maneuver through some cones in the middle of the course, but it is entirely in their discretion (I didn't have to do that part).

holy ****...seems much more complicated than getting a normal driver license...Do the test first so you can get your permit. Once you are legal to ride you can head over to your local dmv and practice the course. Just go on a day they are closed.do i just take the written test and road test just like license for normal car, or do i need to do something extra?

I have seen some video of this. Do I just take that course and do the circle thing in you picture? Or do I need to do the circle thing and than take test in dmv?

Take the MSF. You'll avoid dealing with the dmv

Do an internet search on "Motorcycle Safety Foundation." I'm also in California and this is the way I started my motorcycle license process years ago. It's a 4 day class (if memory serves), 2 days in a classroom setting and 2 days of riding practice. Also, it counts as the riding portion of your DMV test. After your MSF class, you just go to the DMV and take your written test.

In California it counts as the riding portion of your DMV test, you will receive a paper from them proving that you completed the class. Then you have to take that slip with you to DMV and do your written test there.

Hah.
Getting a motorbike license was always a classic way of getting people to volunteer for something ****.
But I don't know. I think in the UK it's very different.
What is so bad about it?Hah.

Also why the hell are you not a crossfitter?
but yeah in general it feels like no matter where you are government loves to **** with motorcyclistsNot applicable to Russia. There it's only a written test and maneuvers. After which a freshly licensed motorcyclist can buy a 1100 Blackbird and successfully kill themselves. Well, at least it was like that when I got my full A.
getting a license got significantly harder and pricier a few years ago here too.You guys are famous for your long, expensive and thorough licencing process.
The US is great with motorcycle licenses. Here take this four day class and enjoy your new hayabusa.
And in certain states, no helmet needed. Wtf you need a helmet for? You some kinda ****?
MURICA.
