Did you buy a bike?
The issue will be you need to register the bike, new or used, in your name, in order to cross borders, needs to be same as Passport. You also need permission to take a CR Plated vehicle, out the country, and must say exact day, and exact return day.
Buying a used bike from another foreigner, with foreign plates, has its issues, as its legally not in your name, for border crossings. If it is in the country illegally, then it will be impounded at checkpoints before the borders, or a police stop, if the paperwork is not in perfect order.
Bike choices are limited, as anything besides a cheap Chinese bike, has a huge import taxes and duties, so they cost twice as much back home...same with cars.
It is also not very safe on a moto in CR, #1 cause of death. Road rules and bad drivers are helter skelter and there are no shoulders and everyone passes and tailgates...
