One possibility is Shrike by Robert Shea published in 1981. It’s a two volume novel, Time of the Dragons and Last of the Zinja.
thanks. the book i’m looking for has the soldier/warrior on a motorcycle. the robert shea book appears to be earlier in history.
A very long shot — SCISSORS CUT PAPER WRAP STONE by Ian McDonald. The protagonist is a gaijin graphics designer rather than a warrior, but he is on a pilgrimmage to various Japanese shrines — but he’s on a bicycle, not a motorcycle.
As I said, a long shot, but for what it’s worth:
