The OP appears to be asking two different things here (buying bikes and internet availability in South America) or am I missing something? I remember Xfiltrate posted a very detailed piece on buying in Argentina recently but it would definitely simplest to buy a US registered bike from someone finishing their trip in BA.

Re the other query, I'm sure Ted and others will agree that in S America, there are more than enough internet cafes in any place you'll come across that there's no real need to lug laptops about with you if you really don't have to (unlike the US where its mainly wi-fi and hardly any internet cafes)

So WiFi is the way to go. It can be a real pain stopping and opening up a laptop again and again just to see if there is a strong/open signal so I found a few stand alone wireless detectors that one might be able to just strap on the bike next to the gps.
