- Where should i do the train tikets for me and the bike? Is better going to the station or to an travel agency in Moscow?
- Is Russia and the transiberian safe for a young guy by his own?(I mean; there have been eppisode of violence or theft?)

Vespa by train: Yes - no problems.
It will ride in baggage wagon in same train as you. it will cost around 100euro for transportation. You should bring the scooter empty of gas to the railroad station 2 hours before departure and place it un baggage wagon. Closer to departure I cah give you all details and maybe assist in Moscow (if be there this time).
Train tickets can be bought online 45days before departure.
Russia is a safe country - I'm 38 and still alive

Japan
Cesare,
for your info: it is not as easy as you think buying a bike in Japan! Just read this here:
Buying Motorcycle in Japan - japan-guide.com forum
Maybe some more useful information for you on this site:
Tokyo Motorcycle Life
So, I guess you will be better off bringing your own bike. Also keep in mind that renting a bike in Japan is darned expensive! I've heard of 6.000 to 10.000 Yen a day!!
Hope this will help you

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
