In response to Mike723´s post.
Police don´t care if your driver´s licence is in a different name to the bike´s papers.
I´ve been stopped in this situation countless times with no problem at all.
The SOAT (insurance) relates to the bike not you.
You can also ride on an EU driving licence for 6 months after arrival in Peru.
If the police are determined to find an infraction it´s generally only so you pay for their lunch. 10 soles covers pretty much any (real or imagined) traffic offence.
Having bought several vehicles in Peru (with a work/residency visa) i would leap at the offer of the original poster.
You really don´t want to get involved with the paperwork, trust me.
