Initial Planning NA -> Ushuaia
We would like to openly discuss our initial travel plans from NA to Ushuaia starting Nov. 2023.
The plan is to purchase two KTM 690 Enduro in NA, take the bikes to the Amazon (Manaus), down to Ushuaia, sell the bike in SA to other travelers and board a vessel to Antarctica.
I see two options to get the bike to SA:
Plan A: Air ship the bike from NA to SA.
Question: From where to where is the most cost efficient option?
Plan B: Ride to Panama and contact the Overland Embassy for shipment.
Q: Does anyone roughly know the cost expected?
Getting to Manaus:
There's the great report making me want to got to Manaus:

Unfortunately the ride to Manaus starts in Peru.
Q: Is there an option to take the bike to Manaus departing somewhere in Columbia or Ecuador?
In Dec./Jan. we will ride the bikes from Manaus to Cusco along the Transamazonica and continue down south.
Our understanding is, it is possible to sell SA foreign bikes to foreigners, hence the plan to ship the bike from the US to SA.
In April/May 2024 there shall be two KTM 690 ready for adventure in the southern part of SA.
Q: Is there a know procedure in place to sell a bike to other foreigners?
Do you see any flaws?
Thanks for your feedback.
