Read the above again and again until satisfied. He's right.
Your other option is to buy a USA-registered bike in South America from someone who rode it down and doesn't want to ride it home. Advance research on how to do this without getting stuck is essential. All the answers have been provided multiple times on this site, but they're difficult to ferret out because for the most part they're ever-so-slightly illegal.
If you're lucky (or smart), you can figure out how to do it legally, e.g., purchase a bike and have the ownership transferred in it's home state in the USA, collect the new paperwork and maybe license plate, and ride it homeward.
All standard caveats apply. Hope that's helpful.
