Buying a motorcycle in Japan on a student visa

Hello everyone!

I will be doing an exchange year for my Master’s Degree in Sendai starting this September, and I was thinking of buying a motorcycle in order to visit the whole country. I wanted to ask you for some advice. First of all, is that possible for a one year exchange student? If yes, what are the steps I have to do? Could you give me some websites where I could find all the information? I should mention I have my licence from Romania.

Next, could you give me some advice as to how and where to buy the motorcycle? Is it better to rent one? For renting is there usually a minimum time you have to have your licence for?(For example, in Romania, if you’ve had your licence for less than 2 years it is difficult to rent a bike, I’ve had mine for a year)

I was thinking buying it would be easier since I plan to use it a lot but I imagine it will be a hassle to sell it at the end of my exchange year.

Thanks in advance for the answers!
