I wondered about talking to the Argentine Embassy here in Germany and seeing what they say.

That sounds like an excellent place to start, especially if you speak German and are living there now.

Also an excellent idea. It will reduce the hassle at borders if they can see a document in Spanish.

Basically you need to be able to prove it's your vehicle, so whatever paper trail is required to prove that will be helpful, more so if you have Spanish translations that are validated by an embassy or a notary.
Are you an Omani citizen? If not, there might be some question as to why the bike is registered there and not in your country of citizenship.
Can you renew the carnet de passages? It might be worth doing so on an insurance basis, it certainly will smooth the border crossings. If Oman doesn't have a carnet issuing authority, you should be able to get one in Germany from ADAC.
Good luck and please let us know how you get on!
