Buying a Bike in South America
I arrived in Colombia 2 weeks ago with intentions of buying a cheap used bike but after doing more research its definitely better to buy a new one for a number of reasons:
1) Registration - its 100% in your name and no racy vehicle history or licensing issues.
2) Condition - new from the manufacturer (as long as you buy from a reputable, licensed dealer) and should have no problems.
3) Warranty - mine came with a 12-month warranty
4) Maintenance - came with a 1-year fully-covered plan w/oil changes
5) Borders - you can definitely go across borders with the car passport associated with your passport just register your EIN / Tax ID at the local office
