Ok so I signed up for one of these cheesy free dating services and long story short 1) I need to convince her that motorcycles are romantic and 2) I need help figuring out how to make motorcycles romantic

ok, rose pedals leading to the bike, candle light, around the bike, and a soft blanket, next to the bike.... for starters, also if your motorcycle looks like this, it’s pretty much a lock as soon as she sees it!

Sweet sun set, smelling the roses as you cruise on by, her arms around you, being at one with nature. Listening to the animals all despretly trying to gey laid as you roll past.
It can be pretty romantic. You just need the presentation

Tell her: If you want to date, we ride.
I think the ride should explain itself as ther are vibrations and the seating is in a straddling position.
As long as you don’t scare the crap out of her she may dig it.
If riding is that important to you and not her, it won’t work out, or you can live a separate riding life. I sold my last bike because of the latter. Now I bought another and I don’t have time & although she says she will ride with me, I still can't find the time. I still have winter gas & stabil in the tank.

It’s easier because you can store them inside.

Anyone who would get on a bike with a stranger is a complete fucking moron. This is coming from someone who rides motorcycles.

Dude. Do. Not. Push. The. Bike.
I would strongly recommend not making that your opener. Mention it in passing on your first date, then see how she reacts. If she’s interested or into bikes, game on. If you get a mixed reaction, feel free to bring it the next go around, but DO NOT do any bad bike stereotype crap. Don’t rip through town, don’t rev at the stop lights, don’t pick up the front end of the bike. If she’s not into it, leave it be. You’re not going to sway someone you don’t know that well, and will probably just scare her or piss her off.
If she’s new to riding, wait until you’ve got some trust built up before going for a ride. For a first ride, find a smooth, windy road you know (not a long drive from where you’re leaving from, too much of a good thing and all that.), and cruise at 5:10ths pace. Make sure it’s evening or early night, cool weather is best, but so long as it’s not swamp-ass weather, you’ll be alright. Have a helmet ready for both of you, and have her bring bring a jacket (no need for bike jacket). Do not ride off to some super secluded place, and especially do not stop somewhere way away from people. You’ll set off every creeper/stalker alarm in her head. The romantic overlook movie scene you’ve got in your mind? It’ll be waiting there for when neither you nor the bike are an uncertain thing.

Edit: Bikes, in order of best bet to worst for her actually taking a liking to it:
Older standard motorcycles / UJMs: comfy, and fit the majority of positive biker image (look what kinds of bikes get ridden in romantic tragicomidklol movies)
Adventure (taller ain’t better in this particular instance) / Sport touring / comfy bike: Doesn’t fit the image, but Suuuuper comfy and doesn’t carry any image baggage for the uninitiated (this doesn’t mean it’s cool to wear your Aerostitch onesie)
Cruisers: could be best or worst, depending on her. They can be super comfy, but come with so much baggage you should probably bring a bike trailer.
bobbers / choppers / cafe bikes: uncomfortable / dangerous is bad in this instance, if you hadn’t already gotten that vibe...
Supersports: That rare combo of uncomfortable (hilariously so for your passenger), dangerous, and hilarious amounts of baggage. If you’ve got a supersports bike, just leave it as that one hobby you have. A ride along will be unlikely to sway anyone, and will most likely be done to humor you.
Of course, YMMV, and I’m some rando on the internet. Best of luck!

I grew up riding passenger on my dad’s bikes and literally once since getting my license have I had any desire to ride 2up, and that was on a FWB’s Ducati, at my suggestion, no romantic intent. Full gear is sweaty/smelly/expensive for someone who’s never ridden before, not to mention the massive trust factor (unless you invest in some helmet comm, there’s no way for your passenger to tell you if something’s not right) and tremendous sleazy perceptions working against your favor (see other comments).
So no, I wouldn’t waste time or energy convincing someone of the romantic nature of what is commonly and infuriatingly referred to as “riding bitch."

You’re doing it wrong. Motorcycles are not romantic they are dangerous and scary and women love them

Take the motorcycle and you date on a beautiful back country road at not scary speeds with a picnic lunch. Worked for me.
Oh, and btw, this is a second date idea. When women first meet you, priority number one is to not scare them in any way.
