like. how different are the two. pros and cons?
Many points have already been addressed, but one major difference is how you steer them. You steer a bicycle by leaning then steering into the lean most of the time. A motorcycle / scooter is steered by pressing the handlebar end in the direction you wish to go downward and slightly forward. Then lean with the motorcycle or scooter. Say you want to make a left turn: you'll press the handlebar on the left side according to how much you want to turn. Press the other side and you'll come back to vertical and a straight line. Doing a quick, light shove on each bar in turn will give you a controlled evasive maneuver. Don't shove hard unless you need to for an emergency. Start easy and slow and you'll get the hang of it.

I'm surprised to see how much difference of opinion there is here. The smallest/lightest motorcycles, like a moped or a little 50cc scooter, are almost exactly like a bicycle, except you don't pedal them. In fact a 50cc motorscooter has about the same speed and range as a bicycle. When you get bigger and heavier, they are different but similar. Imagine a bicycle that weighs, say, 250 lbs. It weighs more than you do! Now you couldn't pedal a bike like this, so imagine coasting it down a hill (it's got really good brakes). There are things you can't do on it that you could do on a bicycle. But it's going to be smoother than a bicycle, it can go faster without being scary, it's more stable. That's how a motorcycle is. It's bigger and heavier, and you use power differently (because you have more power). A motorcycle steers EXACTLY like a bicycle. In fact, if you want to learn to ride a motorcycle by you never learned to ride a bicycle, you should start with a bicycle to learn balancing and steering, only because if you fall off a bicycle it's less traumatic (lower speed for one thing, plus a bicycle is not going to fall on top of you and crush you.) If you can ride a bicycle, you will have no trouble at all balancing and steering on a motorcycle, it's a skill you already have.
No it is not harder than riding a bike You just hop on and let the motor do all the work there are no cons for riding a motorbike but a billions of pros
