Buying a bike won’t present much of a problem (although as is often suggested, do a search on this site for listings of states in which you can or cannot register a bike as a non-resident). Reading the listings long in advance (i.e., now) can be informative, but most sellers will decline to respond to someone saying they’re on another continent but that they’re REALLY interested and they’ll be in town soon. Same with promises to send bank drafts as deposits for unseen merchandise—everyone’s aware of the proliferation of scams.
Selling the bike is the real issue. You’ve got a very limited time for your travels, and I’m guessing you don’t want to spend a lot of it languishing around hoping someone responds to your Craigslist ad (and fending off the scammers). This, along with the possibility that you end up with a lemon, makes a 6-week trip fairly marginal for such a plan.
Hope that’s helpful, but wish you the best of luck regardless.
