Where is it cheaper to buy a bike?
Hi fellow riders,
First of all, thanks for the tons of useful info. I read a lot about the laws in each country but only found few comments regarding the prices, so here it goes.
I started a trip a couple of months ago to explore the americas. Landed in miami and hopefully, at some point I'll reach the end of argentina. So far, it's been buses, trains, hitch-hiking etc. But I'm getting that itch again... I'm currently in new orleans, and the plan is to pass from texas, and then go all the way south. In order to make it, I don't think I can afford much more than about 2000 dollars for a bike. Any suggestions as to where it would be cheaper to buy a used bike? Was thinking of something like a klr or honda-cb, but not too fussed about the model as long as it's relatively reliable (I guess in each place people have different obsessions with different models). Obviously the closer to here the better, but if it's much cheaper in another country, e.g. guatemala or costa rica, I can wait.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
