This will answer your question about Florida Motorcycle Insurance: http://www.carinsurance.com/kb/content14180.aspx

The main idea is that liability insurance is not mandatory but you can get into some serious issues without it. Consider getting insurance, it is cheap. Really, you are the one likely to be seriously injured in an accident, so at least protect yourself.

As for Florida licensing:
As of July 1, of 2008, you absolutely have to, regardless of age, take a basic rider course before yu can obtain your motorcyle endorsement on your driver's license. You can likely still get a permit without trouble but that comes with many limitations on use and stiff penalties if you break those limitations:

From there, it is pretty much basic. If you take the course, you won't have to take the skills test at the Florida highway safety and motor vehicle office.
