Motorbike documents

I have no firsthand knowledge of motorbikes but assume one needs to have a driver's license valid for motorbikes, vehicle registration papers and an ID or passport. Same virtually everywhere in the world or?

Insurance documents are also needed, on top of what Tom mentioned above.

Unusual. Of course one needs a driver's license but I never heard of a country where one doesn't need papers to show the ownership of a vehicle. And unlike in the US, driver's licenses aren't used for identification in Germany. One is always required to carry their government photo ID or passport with them whether in a vehicle or not.
