South of Santiago/Mendoza is best from november to april. Bolivia and Peru are best from May to September. EC & Co are fine, but expect some rain year round.
The easiest place to buy is in Chile. A chinese 250cc will run about $2000. A honda falcon 400cc can be had for $4500/5500. After that expect prices to skyrocket. Many travelers sell their klr´s & such in Buenos Aires very cheap after Patgonia.
