Hello,

I created this account a long time ago, at this point I‘ve seen most of Europe on my Transalp, that turned into a sv650x, that transforms into an 2019 Africa Twin.

My dreamtrip and motivation to make a license was to go from Germany to Mongolia. But life changes and right now I am not willing to leave everything behind for that dreamtrip.

I came to the realization tho, that i travel about 10-12k km on my 4-week vacations (in europe!). Half that its still 5-6k km, enough for nice trips around the globe.

On top of that, I am now for 5 years in a relationship with an ecuadorian, basically having family there. That offers me garages in atleast ecuador and brazil, maybe Chile, mexico and California aswell (that would be families from friends tho).

Since i dont want to do Mongolia on the fat twin, i came to the realization to get a CRF250/300 and ship it to south america. From there i could do trips like

Ecuador - Peru - Chile - Argentina - Brazil
and
Brazil - Paraguay - Bolivia - Peru - Ecuador

Even continue throu colombia, ship it to mexico and all the way to the US.
At some point ship it to Japan or Waliwostock and just drive it back to germany, a one way trip from Mongolia so do speak.

While Im a bit limited with 4-5 weeks at a time and about once a year, its a possibility.

Question now: shipping the bike from germany makes it very hard to keep it there for 2+ years. Buying it in southamerica makes reimport very difficult, as i dont see any light offroad bikes, that also get sold in the EU in either brazil or ecuador.

What would be ideal here?
