Peru
Tom,
Amigo, I think there is a major flaw in your plan: it will take you 4-5 weeks from the time you buy the bike and the time it's all registered (with number plates and all). Only then you can buy a SOAT and then can 'legally' ride in Peru. I would NOT recommend riding without SOAT as you will get harassed by la policia every time!
Unless you have someone in Peru that can buy the bikes for you.. but for that you need a notary letter that allows this person to buy vehicles on your behalf.
I am almost certain that if you want to take the bikes out of Peru, they MUST be registered under your name.
I bought 2 chinese bikes and rode around Peru in 2014. I didn't leave the country. Traveled for 5 weeks and only rode in the northern mountains the whole time. Can't imagine riding up to Ecuador and Colombia and not be in a super rush to get moving every day.
I'm also Peruvian but live in Canada.
Cheers,
Alberto.
