Want to buy a bike in Brasil

I want to buy a bike in Brasil!
The best would be an Yamaha Tenere 600 XT, XT 600, KLR 650, Honda 600 or Honda 650.

Alex-
you can buy my Honda XR650L that is in Buenos Aires and ride it to Brazil via Foz do Iguazu. See my post here: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...tina-usa-26437

If that doesnt take you there- just do a search of the forum for "jim stanley"
It's a good bike- a little ugly, but good and it has been all thru Brazil before- so it knows thet way! It is a 2-3 day ride to Iguzu from BA- not terribly interesting until you get to Brazil. But you can get your Brazilian visa processed in BA before you leave. It's really a good way to go.
Email or message me and I will give you my phone number to discuss.

Are you Brazilian? If not buying a bike there is a bit complicated as you will need a RNE (registro nacional de estrangeiro). It is almost impossible to do if you don't have it. I bought 2 bikes while I lived there, the first a Suzuki Bandit which I registered in the name if the company I was working for and the second a GSXR1100 which I registered in my name as by then I had the RNE. It may vary from state to state as is was in Sao Paulo but everything had to be done in the Public Notary.
Good luck
