Crossing Chile/Peru Border
It could be true that foreign tourists who have purchased legally registered motorcycles in either Chile or Peru cannot cross the border between Chile and Peru.
Many others have posted under threads entitled Buying in Chile etc and there is a wealth of information and misinformation on this topic available. It would be good to see some actual documentation.
Comparison with Argentina.
I know for a fact that while legal for a foreign tourist to purchase an Argentine registered motorcycle in Argentina it is illegal for that tourist and cross any border of Argentina with that motorcycle.
Argentines can cross Argentine borders with their Argentine registered motorcycles and permanent foreign residents of Argentina can also cross Argentine borders with their Argentine registered motorcycles, but I can document many cases of foreign tourists having purchased an Argentine registered motorcycle in Argentina not being permitted to cross out of Argentina.
A foreign tourist returning to Argentina on an Argentine registered motorcycle usually rates little more than a bug eyed stare from customs officials.
