I agree with Chris, a dual sport is the bike to have in CR - The roads outside of the cities are crap (the ones that are paved) The ones that are not paved may have a river crossing you have to deal with. I had a little DT 175 that I buzzed around on in Coco and Hermosa when I lived down there. When I came home I bought an XT600 to take back down - never made it.
Dont know what fuel prices are there now but, when I was there last a liter was about the same price as a Gal here in the states.
Once you have your school finished you should hit Playa del Coco y Hermosa. I'm sure Chris will have the local hook up for ExPat parties and such. Real laid back part of the world.
Have a good trip
