I have just been looking into shipping bikes to South America vs renting. It's a 6 week trip.
2 x Yam XT660R Heathrow to Buenos Aries is £2550.
Return by air for two is £4500; by boat it's £3800.
Total round trip £6350 to £7050.
Renting was around £4000 for 2 x KLR650 for 6 weeks but we couldn't find a rental company anywhere that would allow a multi country trip including Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru.
I am bit nervous about buying for just 6 weeks on case I can't sell quickly at the end. With a bit more time that's what I would do though.
We are shipping one bigger bike to USA instead now.
