I don't have recent experience in Brazil, so I can only report that when I entered and left several times 6 or 8 years ago I needed a TIP each time. And I've read reports that the absence of TIPs was just a temporary thing for the World Cup. If I were thinking of buying a foreign bike there, I'd have to wonder: is the seller telling the truth about having entered without a TIP? What happens if I try to leave the country and it turns out it actually did enter on a TIP, and perhaps remained illegally?
This might serve as an object lesson in why it's not a good idea to take information you read on the internet as if once and forever true. In general, Brazil seemed to take great pleasure in permanently confiscating vehicles for customs infractions. Caveat emptor.
Hope that's helpful.
