What is the best way to get Motorbike experience legally on the road?
With cars you can stick L plates on and have an experienced driver as passenger teaching you. Is it legal to use a motorbike on the road with an L-plate, without a certified instructor, or do you have to pay to learn? Are there any other legal options?

From a UK perspective….
once you have done (and passed) your CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) you can ride any motorbike upto 125 CC with an ‘L’ plate. CBT costs around £100 or so… depends on who is providing it. The CBT consists of some off road training in the basics of bike control (eg how to stop, start, change gear, approach corners, slow speed manouveres, how to turn at juctions, U turns and emergency/controlled stops) before taking a minimum of a two hour assessed ride on the road.
You then have up to 2 years on that CBT certificate to take a full test before the CBT expires. You will also need to pass the Theory test (essentially a multiple choice about road signs, traffic law and so on, plus a hazard perception test).
Although there is no legal requirement to take lessons before taking the test unless you have some friends who are knowledgeable I would be surprised if you pass your test without instruction. This is especially true given that the test has belatedly changed.
As to costs of instruction, I dunno try to find prices locally.

You need to do your CBT first before you ca drive about with a L plate on the bike. The CBT test covers most if not all of the practical skills you will need to do like driving round in a circle etc.
Ja.

You must obtain an provisional licence, then take and pass the CBT. This tells you about the CBT :http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers/RidingMotorcyclesAndMopeds/DG_4022430.
You ought to take some instruction, you are unlikely to pass otherwise.
Once that has been achieved you are allowed to ride on the road with L plates for up to two years. You’re limited to a “learner motorcycle” of up to 125cc and power not exceeding 11kW. During that two years you should take and pass both the theory practical tests, or you have to start again. The CBT “ticket” only lasts two years.
