Hi Bruce,
We're going to rent from Motos Costa Rica ( http://www.motoscostarica.com). They rent the exact bike I wanted to ride -- the Brazilian Honda NX-4 Falcon -- and they also allow border crossing if you leave a large security deposit and arrange things in advance.
The other place I looked into was Wild Rider ( http://www.wild-rider.com). Their bikes are more dirt oriented, which means they all have those high, narrow seats (KLR, Suzuki DR-Z, Honda 250 Tornado). I own a DR-Z myself, but it has a Corbin saddle and even that is less than ideal for my bony butt. Also, they told me that they only allow repeat customers to take their bikes across a border. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from them if I wanted to stay in CR and if I preferred one of those bikes. Motos Costa Rica happens to match exactly what I want on this trip, so that's my choice this time.
