Mexico is not the issue, the other Central American countries are. You NEED the original Title to the vehicle, some piece of paper from a bank means nothing to a a official in Guatemala. This how they prevent stolen vehicles from getting out of the USA.
This really 101, common knowledge. You need the Original Title in Passport Holders name, period. Each countrthe bike goes in your Passport as a Visa Entry, you cant leave the country without the bike, without paying the taxes/duties, which is up to 100% of the value of the bike, they determine, not you. You basically are temporarily importing the bike at the border, then when leaving, exporting the bike, repeat at Immigration Customs for next country. So going to Panama and Back,you will need to process the bike 12 times, 2 at each border. Best to get to border in morning.
Costa Rica is the exception, the vehicle does not go in your Passport.
