Buy a motorcycle in Chile
Hello! Being completely new to travel in Chile, not to mention being the first time travelling outside of North America or Europe, I naturally have questions! I want to do a 3 week motorcycle trip in Chile this upcoming October, and am open to different options of how to do it. I want to determine the best option for price- rent a bike in Chile, or buy one down there and sell it after. From what I have read on the forum regarding bike purchases in Chile, there is alot of paper work involved to purchase a used bike. Is it less paperwork and therefore less time and effort to buy a new bike instead of a used one? As well, are the costs alot higher for a new bike than a used? I live in Canada, so I know the Canadian dollar will take me a long way.
As well, I am wondering if anyone has bought a bike in Chile recently, in case the rules regarding motorbike purchases have changed recently?
I have heard wonderful things about the folks on HU, and, being a newcomer to the site (altho I registered 3 years ago and this is my first time using it), am looking forward to meeting new people here, and as always, making new friends which ALWAYS leads to enriching, rewarding life experiences.
Thanks for your time!
James
