No.

You've lost your driving privileges.

You can walk.

You can hire a taxi or take a bus.

You can ride a bicycle.

You aren't allowed to drive a motor vehicle, any motor vehicle.

Army Judge has the answer for you. My follow up is simply to point out that you might want to regain some perspective before meeting with a prosecutor or appearing in front of a judge. You've just been restrained from driving privileges as a result of a serious charge. Getting a motorcycle permit is not a back door way out of your predicament. Our legislators are not sufficiently vacant to have that end around evade detection. I understand the issue for you but I'd advise you to think very differently moving forward.

You might be able to retain driving privileges for work purposes only. That depends on the circumstances.

A motorcycle is still a vehicle. Any suspension you get will apply to all motor vehicles.

alright thanks it was just a thought and i didnt think it would work but i thought i could at least ask

If that would work there would already be a ton more motorcycles on the road... with drunk drivers!
