Age requirement in California?

Question

I plan to get an Enduro Motorbike. I live in California and I am 14 years old. Do you have to be 16 to ride this?

I thought you could ride it like you would ride a bike on the street.

Answer 1

16 is the minimum age that you can get a motorcycle license in the state of California ,and you must also have taken a MSF basic riders course and pass it before you can get a motorcycle license this is mandatory in the state of California for anyone under the age of 18  

Answer 2

You need to have a driver license to operate a motor vehicle on a public roadways in California.  To answer your question, you need to wait a couple more years.  At the mean time you should go to the local DMV and read up on the driver hand book.  When it is time to take the test, you'll be ahead of everyone in your class!
