Buying a motorbike from another Traveller

Hey everybody,

i want to traveller through south america by motorbike and i will probably start in chile. I want to buy a motorbike from another traveller. But how does the process look like? How do i get the bike into my name? And is it easier to buy from another traveller than to buy an chilean bike an do all the paperwork. I heard it can be very tricky nowadays to geht the RUT.

Hi DrZoidberg and welcome,
You will have to give us a few more details, in which country is the bike registered is probably the most important but both yours and the sellers nationalities can affect the answer.

Poder - permission to ride - South America

DrZoidberg,
I just addressed the issue of "poders" (owner's permission for another to ride a bike in South America) on the following thread, see post #5 on Trip Paperwork.
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...-2-bikes-89164

I addressed only 3 potential issues, and my analysis is in no way complete. Please consult the many other threads that deal with selling/buying foreign registered bikes in South America.

Important Update

DrZoidberg, after considerable more research I have added information regarding th need for "Apostiles" with a "Poders" (permissions for non owners to ride a motorcycle in South America), if traveling internationally.
Please revisit this link for edited information about "Apostiles."
