No specifics about Colombia but.....

You might want to review the following threads, each has information that should be considered before purchasing a foreign registered bike in South America.

Some questions that need to be addressed:

Will you be able to buy insurance for the bike while title is "in transfer"? If you are able to buy insurance will it be valid once the fact that title was transferred in Colombia is discovered during post accident investigation.... You should research all laws pertaining to sale of foreign registered vehicles in Colombia. You will find many.

Will you be able to exit, if you want to, Colombia when the bike was admitted in the name of owner on title? What will you do when the temporary import permit expires, not sure about Colombia but max time in country for a foreign registered bike is 8 months in Argentina.

Here are the threads: All in: South and Central America and Mexico Region....

There are other threads regarding your question. If and when you continue your investigation into the possibility of legally buying a foreign registered motocycle in Colombia please share your research here. Many who post here have looked into your specific question, I know little or nothing about regulations in Colombia.

Thanks for bringing up a very interesting topic.... I am a community member of he Buenos Aires HUBB Community and will be pleased to help with advice at no cost.
