Related, though it doesn't directly address whether you could take the motorbike on the ferries: Go from Lombok to Labuan Bajo by bus & ferry, how to?

Even better: Labuhan Lombok to Poto Tano, how to? and Sape to Labuan Bajo, how to? According to those answers, motorbikes are permitted on the ferries, and you could presumably ride the motorbike the length of Sumbawa.

@RobertColumbia Although I accepted your edit, it's probably not necessary to add ", Indonesia" to both places. Anyone who knows enough about ferries between those two places to answer the question will know what country they're in, as will anybody who's interested in this question in the future.

You have two questions, here, actually.
The first is
Can I go from Labuan Bajo to Labuan Lombok by ferry
and it's mostly answered here.
The second is
Can I carry a motorbike with me
and this is a little bit trickier to answer.
Basically:
- If it's a passengers-only ferry (there are), you can't load a motorbike
- If it's a mixed ferry, as much as you can load a car on it you can always load a motorbike too
- If it's a rented bike, you can't move the bike from province to province because rented motorbikes insurances cover you only in the province where you rented the bike.
More in detail: when buying the ticket for the ferry you'll be asked for the bikes document, and they will catch you in a moment. You can always bribe the officer, in Indonesia is doable, but it's a practice that is slowly getting more difficult and less widespread, especially with foreigners. You may bribe the ferry officer at the ticket booth, but after that you'll be forced to bribe every other officer that you'll meet during your trip and hope it works every time.
So, unless you buy a bike yourself and get the right insurance, as far as I know there is only a single company in Indonesia that rent bikes to tourists with full insurance coverage: Indocampers
Notice: I'm not in any way affiliated with them. I happen to know the company 'cause I spent a hell lot of time searching for a bike for my trip across Indonesia, and at the end of the day they are (were?) the only viable option.
One BIG warning: their bikes are all east asian models, and that means that they are all the size of a toy bike. If you, like me, are at least decently tall for a male, you'll find them really uncomfortable: I'd suggest you to totally avoid them if you are more than 180cm tall. And the suspension are on par, so again I'd avoid to do it if your total weight is more than 80kgs.
