As the operator on a street bike - the same as a car license.
Passenger - have to be able to reach the passenger foot pegs.
Dirt - You be the judge. Are they responsible, able to follow rules, can they ride a bicycle?
I've seen 3yr olds riding dirt bikes and loving it.

Obtaining your motorcycle license or endorsement is similar to obtaining your license or endorsements for other vehicles in Kentucky.All motorcycle licenses and endorsements are issued at your Circuit Court Clerk's office.
Motorcycle License or Endorsement:
In order to obtain a motorcycle license or permit, you must either be at least age 18 or have a valid driver license. If you're under the age of 18, you must have a parent or legal guardian sign for you.
The fee for a motorcycle license along with your regular driver license is $30. A motorcycle-only license is $24.
Motorcycle Training Courses:
Riding a motorcycle offers a certain liberation―the open road, the wind in your hair, the envious expressions of minivan drivers you pass. Yes, they're all included in the freedom from the confines of doors, roofs, hoods, and even trunks.
But no matter how many times we hear, "Born to be Wild," none of us are as experienced as Peter Fonda in Easy Rider when we first hop on a motorcycle, and none of us need to try impersonating Evel Knievel the first day of riding, if ever.
However, riding can still be fun―and safe―thanks to training and safety courses.
Kentucky Motorcylce Program
The Kentucky Motorcycle Program (KMP) offers rider courses developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). These courses are taught by MSF-certified instructors and are approved by the state, and are free to those under the age of 18. Visit the MSF Web site for more information.
Motorcycle Safety Education Courses
The Kentucky Motorcycle Safety Education (MSE) course actually offers two different courses:
The Motorcycle Rider Course: Riding Street Skills: This is a 16 to 18 hour course that teaches basic skills. Half of the class consists of classroom instruction.
The Experienced Rider Course (ERC): This class is meant for more experienced riders, and takes place on the riding range.
Your skills test may be waived if you complete the MSE; however, all motorcyclists must keep their permit for one month before they can be issued a motorcycle license.

I'm not from Kentucky, but usually it is 16 for a real motorcycle, 16 (but no license required) for mopeds and other street vehicles, and any age the parents think the kids are responsible enough for dirt bikes and off road vehicles.

No age restriction listed. However obviously they have to have a motocycle endorsment. A safety helmet is required for all riders under 21 and instructional permit holders.
