Bike
 
Yes. I have been considering everything from 150 cc to 650 cc.
From Japan, India, China and Colombia
Used and new.

And I have made my conclusion what fits me.
For the situation I am in and for the trip I plan.

Thanks

To avoid disappointments. My philosophy has turned into something like this:

It's just as good to stop dreaming
It's going to hell anyway

Take one day at a time. And do the best I can of today.

Nice one !

My philosophy is " Since I've given up ALL hope, I feel so MUCH better"bier

Hi G, did the process work for you to register the bike under your name? what bike did you evetually get? I'm planning to come to Colombia in Feb and buy a bike to travel for 2 -3 months. Any bike recommendations? I'm looking for anything 200 - 300 cc and 3000 - 3500 USD. Thanks!

Bike in Colombia
 
Yes, I bought a Royal Enfield Himalayan.
There was no problem to get it registred in my name.
And I can travel wherever I want.

Since it is Colombian, there is no Temporary permit in Colombia that expires.
I used it for a 5 month tour in SA.
Left it for 9 months. And now I am using it for a second trip.
I pay yearly SOAT for Colombia and tax.
No mecanical inspection, since it is new.


The RE fits me perfecr. But a new one is around 4 000 USD.

About bikes. I posted some infon in another thread.
Search and find.

I have got a friend in Colombia. That works as a motorcycle mecanics. But can also help with buying and selling process. If you do not buy direct from a dealer, that do all work.

He is in Cali.
If you want his contact, send me a PM
