It's a fairly well covered topic. You can sell the bike via a "carta poder". This doesn't transfer the name on the paperwork but gives the new owner power of attorney over the bike so to speak. What the buyer does with the bike when he's done will be up to them. They can either sell it again on a poder (becomes a double Poder, I've seen up to five on one bike) or if they sell to a German perhaps they can transfer the papers remotely and have them sent.
To get a carta poder go together with the buyer to a notary. Ask for them to draw up a Poder ilimitado. Make sure it cover riding the bike in all countries of south America and North America. Once they've made it for you go to the ministry of foreign affairs and have it apostilled. Sounds like hard work but it isn't. If your Spanish is decent you can get it done in a morning.
