The MSF typically does provide bikes, yes. In many states, if you take the permit test and get your permit before you take the MSF class, completing the MSF course will waive your road test, and therefore get you your license.

As for how to take the test - it depends on your state. Here in MA you can ride on a permit from dawn til dusk by yourself. So you could ride your bike over and take the test. You should find out the law in your own state by checking your state's dmv/rmv website.

Do they teach maintanence? How to change tires? What about when to get oil changes? Where to put the fluids to make it run?

That's the sport bike that I saw that I wanted to get as a starter bike lol even though people here probably will say it's not a good bike to start with. By the way on that video what bike does that girl have?

Any boot that covers your ankles would work. You can find riding gear at most bike shops or online.

Could you just wear a regular jacket and jeans?

I wouldn't recommend wearing a regular jacket. At the minimum find some members only leather jacket I know your dad has in the closet. (everyones dad has one in the closet)

Jeans would be ok, but don't provide much protection if you go asphalt surfing.
