Hello,
thanx to the argentina chile peru hubb communities for their nice answers.
My main problem is getting a "ok" second hand bike, my budget is around 500 usd : I m thinking about a local 125cc Honda Hero or cg. But if I can find a bigger bike for my budget, why not ? or get a "buy back" deal with someone on a bike ?
According to your information, if I buy a local bike in Argentina, I can t export it to neighbour countries within one year, so I ll be stuck in argentina.
Santiago Chile seems the best place to buy a bike. I m not too sure about the regulations there : registration, ownership, documents, possibility or not to export it to neighbour countries ? same with Lima Peru, although the bikes choice in Peru seems smaller.
Please if you can confirm and add info.
I may also reduce my plans for a total 30 days around trip (due to my business holidays, i can t stay more) : only visit 1-2 regions/countries, among Argentina, Chile, Peru, maybe even Bolivia (start in Santiago, go La Paz then Lima (?) for example). I m attracted by andes mountains, driving high, but also Patagonia : due to distances, it may not be compatible.
cheers
