I will meet you anywhere in South America to buy your foreign-plated bike!

Hey Everyone!

I've been looking into purchasing a bike in South America for a long time and from what i can tell there's a bit of a mess of paperwork and bureaucratic nonsense to contend with, especially when crossing certain borders.

From what i can gather, the easiest way for me to buy a bike would be to buy a bike a from a traveler with a bike plated in a country outside the continent, i.e Canada, USA, Europe, Etc. Seems to make it possible to bypass all the bureaucratic stuff. Perhaps anyone who has done this can confirm or disconfirm this hypothesis?

I'm finally at a point in my life where i'm ready to make this trip, so if anyone is planning to end their trip about 1 or 2 weeks from now and is looking to have a buyer immediately available at the end of their journey, no matter how remote your final destination might be, please message me with the type of bike you have and the proposed selling location and we can talk. Im extremely flexible on motorcycle types and meeting points; im just trying to get a good deal and breeze through the paperwork. Please let me know! Thanks Whatsapp +13476243657

The problem with bikes from outside of SA is that you can not leave the bike for a long perioud for you to come back one day and continue your trip.

I just listed my KLR 650 2012 located in sothern Brazil for sale.
chilean plates.

Maybe thats the right bike for you.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
