Motor bike options for 6 to 12 months , and ownership still confused

[Billpro785]

As this is a bike forum, hoping to get the right answers and advice. If you needed a bike for 6 months to a year , would you rent or buy ?
If, so new or used ?
On ownership, was told different options , With a tourist visa, and a long-term rental contract , can I register the bike , or leave it in the last owners name ? Best option ?
thanks all !!!

It would be easier to give you a good answer if you specified what type of bike you were looking for.
