Buying a bike in Guyana
 

Hi, I'm planning a trip around South America. My plan is to fly into Guyana and buy a bike there. I was wondering what I would need to get in the way of insurance and registration and other paperwork in order to cross all of the South American boarders on a bike bought in Guyana. Thanks in advance.

Hello TPgarner, Buying a bike in georgetown prove to be limited more to the 125cc class, ther are lots of Chinese knockoff such as jailing. last year i decided to ride in the Guyana Pakarima safari and after lots of research, I shipped a 250 Suzuki DRZ and it turned out to be the best alternative. Unfortunately I sold that bike after the safari and regretted it. I am currently planning to ride from Georgrtown to Boa Vista, down to Manus. There I'll put it on a boat to Macapa and ride up to French Guiana to Suriname and back to GT. I am planning to start from GT next year October and I already have another Suzuki 250 DRZ which I am getting ready to ship from Toronto. If anybody is intrested in joining me I would appreciate company. Should able to do this ride from GT and back in 30 days.

lots more options for buying in FG or suriname . plenty of chinese bikes and new honda xr250 in parimaribo

Don't think it would be easy in GT, me and my friends had all kinds of motorcycle experience in Guyana, but it was a big deal to bring bikes there and especially make a paperwork. They have very big custom fees in G, so prices are high. Think about delivering bike from States, or look for it in Suriname.
