LA does not issue bike licenses but endorses bike on a regular driver's license.

Hi, like twostep said earlier, it's not a separate license, but...you do have to pay $12 for an 'endorsement' and take a small test.

Louisiana requires that you add a motorcycle endorsement onto a basic license to in order to operate a motorcycle in the state.

To get a Louisiana motorcycle endorsement, go to your local OMV office
and:

Present a completed Application for License or Identification Card.

Provide primary and secondary proofs of identification. The LA OMV provides a full list of acceptable identification.

Note: If you have a LA photo ID or driver's license, no additional identification is required.

Be accompanied by a parent or guardian with photo ID (if 17 years old or younger).

Pay the $12 endorsement fee.

Pass a motorcycle knowledge exam. (To prepare yourself for the motorcycle knowledge exam, you can take an online practice test.)

Pass an on-cycle skills test.

I hope this helps you :)
