Suzuki Bandit 1200
 

Hi All -

First time poster - hope you're all well!

I'm taking a cargo ship first week of November from UK to Buenos Aires and have the option of bringing my motorbike with me at a cost £300 :thumbup1:


Planning to be in BA for a good few months and then moving on and my question is, once out of BA and travelling further afield, what the situation is regarding roads - are the main highways through the various countries good tarmac or is it a mix of tarmac/dirt tracks etc./

One concern is having to leave the Bike in BA and then coming back at somepoint to ship back to UK...

Be very grateful for your thoughts and wherever you are - keep it upright!

Roads are very good in Argentina...

Actually, they're good 90% of places.. Take your bandit and have a blast !!

What I would like to know is how to get a bike shipped that far for £300?

No Idea though I'm sailing from Uk to Argentina and guess it must be because I'm booked on the ship. It's certainly made me think about bringing it!

Hi If your traveling in Argentina and are shipping in to BA then get in touch with Javar & Sandra at DakarMotos in BA ( check out there website) They can help you with any problems you get bringing the bike in to Argentina they all so store bikes and are some of the nicest people you can meet they have helpped many bikers heading in and out of south america over the years and they can give you plenty of helpfull info on road conditions.

Hi Regards shipping try Geodes i used them, it cost me 200 pounds to ship to Mexico, if you want to ship look to see where the container ships run a regular service, these are the cheepest routes as they will all ways want to make sure the containers are full so a part load is quite cheep, Just flick through the yellow pages and phone or e.mail around. Hope this helps Skip

Tell me more... how much is you boat trip to Argentina? How long? I might be interested in something like that? Was planning a trip all over N. America but I'm now thinking of doing less in N.America and more in C. & S. America. I figure more bang for my buck.
