The best way to purchase a bike in the US if you are coming from another country would to be to buy one (used) thru Craiglist as there are many motorcycles for sale here and CL has listings in just about every major citiy.

The US is a big country. If you can, I would get a GPS unit as it will help you get around, or at least help you get back to where you want to be if you get lost.
You will need to have a motorcycle endorsement on your drivers license. While it is not common, people who have been stopped by a cop for a traffic violation and found to be riding without a MC endorsement have had their bikes impounded.
I would opt for the most complete insurance coverage that you can afford while riding in the states..If you are only here for a few months it should be relatively cheap.
Bobbyrandall, I would say look me up when you get to Florida, but I will be leaving on a tour up to Maine on June 1 and be gone for most all of the month.
