Hi Andreas,
try Walter Nosiglia for renting bikes. www.nmadadventures.com (or .bo)
His motorcycle shop is very reliable and he is a very helpful guy. But for a longer period, renting seems to be expensive.
For shipping to South America check GS-Sportreisen in Muenchen, Hellmann Logistics in Duesseldorf or MBS in Koeln.
You should check before you travel if the situation in Bolivia is calm, in the last two years they had roadblocks all over the country that lasted several weeks. Travelling was impossible then. Last October the city of Uyuni was blocked by striking miners and the tourist had to be evacuated by the army. Furthermore, in 2001 the Salar de Uyuni was flooded from January to September.
