Thank you for the great info newbrider! That's all my questions answered!

PS. I have been looking at those as well but availability seems low right now! I'm going to search more tomorrow and hopefully test drive a tenere 250 if possible!

Hi NewbRider
Thanks for the clear and detailed explanations on how to buy a bike in Colombia and sell it in Chile. My plans go in the opposite direction. I have found a KTM in Chile and would like to sell it in Colombia after cruising SA. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed. Regards from BCN.
Regarding the RE Himalayan I must say I took one of those through Northen India (Ladak) Nepal, China, Tibet, Bhutan and it performed incredibly well. Robust as hell.

Hey mate, happy to help. But need more detailed info. Chilean bike or foreign bike? But basically, all the info here applies the same going the other way.

Hey guys, thanks for all the info!
I'm heading to Colombia in a week (probably Bogota!) and will follow all these steps to buy a bike!
Super excited for the trip, my plan is to start in Colombia, spend at least 3 weeks there and then make my way down to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia and then sell it there somewhere again after 3 months :-)
