Need a Bike in Santiago
 

Hi,

I get fire and i decide to realize one of my dream to trought south america by bike (Santiago, Mendoza, San Juan, Vallee de Luna, Uyuni, Lapaz, Lake Titicaca, Cusco, Nasca, Lima, Quito).

So I'm looking for a transalp or a Klr or Bmw F800gs

I want a reliable bike, easy to fix, discret that's all ;-)

So if you have one feel free to contact me,


I hear that's complexe to registred a bike

Ardechois,

Just a thought, man. I'm riding north from Chile to Colombia with my girlfriend. I am on a Tenere 660, but she is on a DR200 and doing just fine. If you can't find a KLR or Beemer, don't overlook a smaller bike. I've met several guys on 250 Honda Tornados, having a blast on the dirt roads. And you find Tornados everywhere so easy to maintain. Tonnes of them second hand in Santiago.

Stay in the mountains in Peru - amazing riding / scenery / people.

Yeah buying a locally made bike can be a good option. The Tornado 250 or Honda 400NX are probably the most popular, but the 300XR and Suzuki DR series would do equally as well. All of these accept the Suzuki are relatively common in many latin American countries. Given parts are easy to source, and buying in Santiago fairly simple, I'd recommend this unless you have your heart set on a bigger bike.
