Colombia to Patagonia
Hi,
I plan to start this trip down the Andes from Colombia to Patagonia and have a lot of questions concerning the bike.
I would like advices concerning the best bike to get and where to get it.
I will look for a light bike as I am a lightweight myself (60kg). To go 50/50 on road/offroad a 600cc should be way enough. My priority is not speed or power. I want a used bike, reliable, for which spares are common in Latin America. And think a twin would be more reliable than a single cylinder.
Honda Transalp? Honda Africa Twin? Chinese brand?
My budget would be 4500 USD max, but I wouldn't mind cutting it in half! I first thought about buying in Bogota (or anywhere in Colombia) but prices seem to be high over there.
As I am currently in Guatemala I can as well buy in Costa Rica, Nicaragua or Panama and get in a ferry then (I didn't check about the ferry prices and availability yet).
Any advices are welcome!
