You take the safety course before you go to get your motorcycle license. So, if you don't own a bike, then they supply a bike for you at the safety course (for a fee) right? Then what do you take the test on if you don't own a bike? Would you have to rent another bike to do the driver's test? Then go buy a bike and register/insure it?
In California, there are two safety courses. Beginner and Advanced. The beginner class, THEY provide the bike for you to practice on. Usually little 125-250cc Honda's or similar. The advanced class requires you to bring your own bike.

If Canada is anything like California, you should go get your motorcycle permit. This will allow you to ride with limitations - no freeways/highways, no nighttime riding, no passengers. Then you go take the safety course, and the safety course gives you a written AND riding test at the end.

Again, in CA, you can turn that proof of passing BOTH courses into the DMV and skip the RIDING portion of the test... you still have to pass the state written test.

Look up the rules/regulations for your state/country... it's different everywhere.
