Buy bike & travel Sth America to USA possible?
Hi all,
I am considering reversing my travel itinerary so I'm not forced to arrive in TDF in Dec/Jan, instead I may depart at this time and be free to move as I choose.
I have searched the previous threads but found nothing specific, does anyone have advice on the following possibilities and/or which is the best choice of obtaining a motorcycle, preferably a KLR650?
a) Purchase a 2nd hand bike from either Brazil, Chile or Argentina - put it in my name and travel to Ushuaia, then be able to ride all the way into the USA, possibly Canada too if I have the money left over.
b) Purchase a 2nd hand bike from another traveler in the above areas, that travelers title will not be in my name therefore I am unsure how this works however it will be a cheaper option no doubt?
c) Ship my own bike across (though bikes here are very expensive so I think this is the unlikely option)
I have seen threads where you can buy a bike in Chile and travel Sth America but is it legal to take this bike all the way into the USA/Canada?
