Unless there have been changes I dont know about - you do not have to be on a KITAS to buy a bike, only a car.
Repairs and maintenance of bikes isnt all that high (I have three) You could do as one person suggested buy and leave with a trusted friend to rent out. They pay upkeep out of the rental and you have a bike to use when you are here.
