buy and sell bike in different S America countries

**barraclough** · #1 9 Dec 2001

Can anyone help. From what I have read most people seem to import there own bikes when travelling in S America. I want to buy a bike in Venezuala and sell it in Argentina (make back some of my money). Is this possible and if so will I be stung for any hidden charges? Also, if you think it wiser, I can buy/sell in different countries (let me know which you think are best). Any help in this respect would be greatly appeciated.
Cheers,
Mikail

Hello Mikail,

I'm just like you , thinking about how to buy and sell the bike before and after the trip. Let me know please,when you want to reach the end of your trip in Argentina and what motorbike do you want to buy, because may be I can buy yours when you're finished. I think a Honda xr250 its a good bike to do a thing like this. They're very comon in Venezuela and Colombia and its parts also

greetings
