The latest I heard was Brazil no longer gives a TVIP, the last time I crossed in 2012 they did. Now you should be only limited by the time allowed on your passport VISA or stamp and your bike would not be on a time limit it would seem, maybe it is tied closer to your passport again I haven't crossed since I heard of TVIP no longer required.

We have all "heard" about this - and I would really, really like it to be true, but until we have first hand accounts - several rather than just one - of someone entering with their vehicle, spending most of their allocated 90 days travelling around, then flying out and returning months after the 90 days and then driving out without problems, I don't see that it would be wise to assume anything just because a TIP isn't issued. All it would take is for the vehicle to be noted on the computer against the passport.
So far there have been a couple of accounts of the initial entry, but nothing about collecting the vehicle months after flying out - or for that matter, even flying out and leaving the vehicle behind within the 90 days..
If it was true, then Brazil would become the #1 country for selling a vehicle and storing them. No risk of border confiscations or fines for overstaying. Sounds too good to be true but hope it is true.
