Thanks! BTW, I'm planning to stay here for a few months so I'd like to become a resident of New  York. In that scenario, would I be able to exchange my out of state motorcyclel license for a New York one?
Yes, when you become a NY resident, you can exchange your license for a NY license.
In the meantime would I be able to drive a motorcycle with my out of state license?
Yes! You can drive normally as long as you have a valid motorcycle license issued by another state where you are resident.
