help in all ways is good ! but I think any foreigner that wants to purchase any moto in South America has there work cut out for them and its never going to be the way you think it should be.
Colombia has its exceptions Runt>Purchase>Soat
if you are buying second hand from a local make sure the yearly taxes have been paid It is like a lean on the registration, and transito will impound the bike if taxes haven't been paid for 5 years. the plate number it can be looked up from the government website Transito and where ever the moto is[ plated this is the number that stays with the bike] the municipality>department is where the taxes have to be paid
Normally the dealers with good reputation have clean titles but beware This is Colombia and small shops may not
The 2 Ktm dealers in Bogota will sell you a moto and purchase it back but I only think its limited to a 390 and lower
this is a low hassle way to get on with riding But you will take a hit when selling it back
