Where hardest part of the whole south America trip seems to decide where and how to buy a bike...
I don't mean to hijack your thread but this is the same topic I was about to post.
So from what I keep hearing chili is the easiest country to buy a bike in, but does f one wants to do all of South America will you run into any problems at borders (seems like you will).
Buying the bike legally seems like the only option in chili due to its low corruption rate.
So is that the best option or is it better to just buy in another country illegally and just bribe when you have to?
I'm from Western canada, i could buy a klr650 here and drive it south but i feel it would be cheaper and a better use of my time to stick to south America with a used bike, being that shipping a bike by air after modifying it would cost a fair amount
