Wanted!:Dual sport motorcycle in B.A. Argentina.

Hello!,
My name is Owen Lloyd and I am currently a student for a year in Buenos Aires Argentina. During December and January I have been dreaming of taking a motorcycle trip all over the country. I have been planning this for a while and each step I pick up a little more information and am feeling fairly confident. However! I need a bike. What I am looking for is the normal canidates, Kawasaki KLR650, Honda XR650, Suzuki DR650, or others in this range. However, cost is a bit of an issue and right now its not so much about which bike i have but rather that i can afford it and have $ left over for tires, maintence, gas etc...not to mention living here for 9 months. Therefore, I am not afraid of 250CC bikes (XR250, KLR(X?)250 etc.) and/or older bikes with more miles. The plan is to buy it now (october), and then sell it in june. Any leads or tips would be appreciated! Also where is this Dakarmotors I hear about? and do they have good deals? Is wanting to spend about $3000 reasonable? or am I just a poor student dreaming?

used prices extreme?

Also why does it appear used prices are unreasonably high? is there a large mark up on new ones?
