Best option for long time storing is Uruguay as they give 12 months TIP. Argentina can a be possibility as they sonetimes give 8 months TIP.
And there are other options as well, where your TIP can be «frozen». Dont k ow any details about that though...

There are a number of options for long-term storage. As mentioned Uruguay is the straight up easiest, 12 months TVIP. Argentina is dependent on who happens to issue your TVIP. Smiling and asking nice before they start the paperwork and before you get your visa stamped is highly recommend. No one will be happy processing paperwork a second time to accommodate an afterthought... If Uruguay doesn't fit into your itinerary, there are other possibilities.
1) Between countries or near the border there are sometimes businesses that can legally suspend you TVIP. There is a storage business between Venezuela and Colombia that charges a few dollars a day, a little more for storage under cover.
2) You can look for a "bonded warehouse" that will suspend the TVIP. These are import/export businesses. You might find a warehouse near a port, border or airport. I haven't seen posts with details in this forum, but have seen posts on the Mexico/Central America forum.
3) And then there are a few (known) motorcycle businesses that are equipped/prepared to complete the paperwork and suspend the TVIP. In return, they charge a storage fee and perhaps a processing fee. I believe Dakar Motos in Buenos Aires provides the service. charapashanperu is in Peru and can definitely provide the service. Dakar Motors has a good reputation. I know charapashanperu personally; he has suspended TVIP for many bikes.

I entered Argentina 3 times in 2018 at 3 different locations large and small. Each time I was given 8 months. I didn’t need to ask. The computer spits out the permit and it was 8 months every time.
