Do you need a motorcycle license to drive a Dual sport bike?

Dual sport bike meaning one of those on off road bikes. I'm asking because Ontario Canada is the worst for insurence. It will cost me 3500$ a year for a 96 mitsubishi eclipse. So I decided i'll get a bike instead because it's far cheaper. About 100$ a year. So do I need an motorcycle license or not? Either way i'm still getting a bike.

Yes, or you SHOULD, i'm not in Canada. In USA, YES, it is a motor vehicle capable of hi speeds.

Not positive on Canadian law, but I will make a guess that you will need a license to operate the bike, dual sport or not, on the street.
