Yes, there is more to it than driving an automatic car. But, it's not difficult. Look at the intelligence level of some bikers. If they can do it, you can.

Take a motorcycle class where the bikes are provided if you are not sure whether you can do it.

Some small scooters are automatic. But a majority of bikes are manual shift.

Left foot - Gear shift. Up is up, down is downshift.
Right Foot - Rear Brake. Kinda like a car only a pedal ebrake
Left Hand - Clutch lever. + Horn, turn signals and hi/lobeam switch with your thumb
Right Hand - Twist Throttle, Front Brake Lever and start button with the thumb.

The rest is up to you.

All bikes have gears, 99% are not automatic. Your left hand controls the clutch (lever), your left foot controls the shifter. Your right hand controls the throttle (twist) and front brake (lever), your right foot controls the rear brake. It is similar to learning how to drive a manual-transmission car - it takes time and patience. You're going to mess up at the beginning, but soon it becomes second-nature, and you really start to enjoy all of the control you have over how the bike runs.

My brother and I bought 2 new bikes for a summer vacation. His 1200 Bandit leaked gas and ruined the motor before it got 2000 miles. We asked Suzuki to replace the motor so we could go on vacation. They said it’s to expensive and would cost $3000. After 4 months and the vacation gone they got the motor rebuilt at a their cost of $3700. The dealer wanted to replace the motor but Suzuki squashed that. The gas stained cases and burnt exhaust pipes were not replaced. The bike got nicked and scratched all over from being apart for so long. The rep rode it and looked at it, then said it’ good as new. It ran like crap and looked worse. We called Japan for nothing, and even wrote the US CEO all for nothing. We spent $15,000 for the bikes to get Fd. We spent our vacation hassling with Suzuki, and not one person there gave a F! Beware Suzuki’s warranty is not worth the paper it’s printed on! Buy one of their lemons are get Fd like we did!

Manual transmission.
Pull the clutch lever with your left hand, and shift with your left foot. It's only harder to work than an automatic car when you're in a traffic jam -- stop, and go, and stop, and go...

unfortunatlly no, if you find one its not a sportbike! if you know how to drive a stick in a car its alot easier to learn cause it's the same principal, if you would like assistance (taught) i am a sportbike/car mechanic ive taught alot of ppl how to ride and to me they are some of the best riders i know, but now you need to ask yourself "do i wanna ride, stunt or both?"

Automatic sportbikes......Yamaha Majesty
Suzuki Burghman, Honda Reflex, Honda Silverwing. Just twist and go ...and brake of course. Please do take a motorcycle safety riders course and always wear a helmet.
