Well.. if I had to pick one I would say the TIG. It would give you a wide range of welding options from steel to alum. Just be careful of the electronics on the bikes. The high frequency from the arc starting can fry computers. Disconnect the battery before welding and keep the ground clamp as close to the weld as possible.

Question for you. I am getting into motorcycles/motorcycle fab work.
For this type of purpose, which type of welding it better to learn/use…MIG or TIG?

Tig welding is a good choice for aluminum welding. It will give you the best quality and the best aspect of the weld. Aluminum oxide is a big trouble maker while welding aluminum. The only welding process that deals with the aluminum oxide by eliminating it during the process is the TIG welding using argon gas. There is only one negative aspect of TIG welding: productivity. If you don't plan welding a lot with the welder and efficiency is not an important aspect of you activity then TIG is the way to go.
An important feature of the TIG welder would be high frequency arc ignition without contact between the electrode and the work piece. It will help preserving the electrode and have wolfran invlusions in the weld

It should not take you very long at all since you are already certified as a TIG welder. Getting certified will require a certain number of hours training and taking a test of course, but you should not have any trouble doing it.

On your first try, you will probably lay a better bead than I ever did.
