I plan to leave the bike with a friend in Santiago and return the following summer for more.

That will need to be the first item on your list of things to research. Chile issues TIPs valid for three months or 90 days and you may not just be able to leave your bike and come back a year later and pick up where you left off. If it is registered in Chile then no problems but otherwise might be big problems.
Other things to check up on, especially if you are from the US, Canada and Australia, is several countries require Reciprocity payments before you arrive at the border, Some at the border, some require visas to be obtained before the border and others require payments to be made in specific currencies at the border.
