Thank you mr. Cash.  The last link led me to a scooter rental place in
Osaka which is promising.  And now I know I can rent a scooter for
11,800Yn a month w/3manYn deposit.

Also those links got me started on some internet browsing and i came
across motorcycles for sale, more particularly a Honda 250cc which
would be ideal if licensing and ins. are reasonable.

Thank you again.....Winston
