Chilean motorcycle needs to return to Chile??
 

Buenas Tardes Señores,

Sorry if I'm reposting here, but I'm still looking for anyone with experience selling a Chilean motorcycle outside of Chile. I´m looking for all the options that would let me end my trip here in Colombia. I've heard that the bike needs to go back to Chile or I will be stuck with fines at the border if I try to go back later.
I would rather sell the bike or have someone ride the bike back for me than have to rush back (I figure the only way to sell the bike is to someone with a rut or a Chilean citizen).
If the bike doesn't have to return, I think I could sell the bike here in areas affected by the "guerilla" where the police arent seen often and people dont worry about papers. ; )

If anyone has any experience, ideas or corrections please let me know!

Cheers! - Michael

Bikes might be different but cars seem to be able to be gone for 6 months before there might be problems getting back in without paying a fine and/or the missed road tax. Maybe not a major problem for the original owner but could be for anyone else

I did request an extension of the 6 months, bit I have been waiting a week for a reply. I won't make it back before the times up so if I don't get the extension I'll have to pay. Do you know how much these
fines might be?

The fine wasn't specified but said it wasn't very much and the other cost is apparently only what you would have paid if you had been running around Chile. As usual hard figures seem to never be mentioned or explained properly and would be different for bikes and cars anyway. Also as usual, you might just waltz through without problems

Yes bikes have to return after 6 months as well. I did not know so the friendly man who registered my bike on his name got problems and had to claim my bike stolen so i cant return to chile now otherwise i will get arested for stealing my own bike: http://motorradtouren-suedamerika.de...en_suedamerika

Thanks for the help! I'll going to try to navigate the internacional phone call tomorrow and try to get some answers. I've got a day or two before the 6 months is up.

I'm not sure what you meant about the fine, but as long as its not a few hundred dollars it should be ok. I'll post what i find out if I get any information.

So listing the bike as stolen or blown up could get me out of having to go back?
