do you guys think I can sell the bike without this card in my hands?

I am assuming you have a Chilean bought bike.
If you sell the bike in Chile, you will need the RUT. Your temporary RUT should be fine. In other countries you will not need a RUT to sell the bike. If you sell the bike in another country (Paraguay may be an exception) either you or the buyer will be responsible for import taxes in that country. The cost of these taxes will render the bike nearly worthless. Some have sold their bike for parts. You may be able to sell it in a very rural area or to someone with "connections."
You will also be responsible for export taxes on the bike, if you do not return it to Chile. I don't know how this may manifest itself, but you may run into problems if you try and buy another bike or conduct other government business using your RUT. I doubt you would have any trouble just returning w/your passport.
