Too much burocracy at borders
Hi mate, can't confirm this situation right now but it makes sense, can you tell me where you got this info about residency needed about the vehicle?? Note that the whole system may be failling, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get the bike under your name.
Just to show you a light at the end of the tunnel, I've helped a lot of travellers buying bikes in Paraguay for trips in SA and after they got their bikes and paperwork nobody had any problems getting permits for Brazil(although Brazil doesn't require Temp. Permit for vehicles anymore), so if you want to head a straight line into Brazil and change your route a bit to get into Bolivia feel invited to come to Foz do Iguaçu and I'll give the info how to get there, or, just give us a shall for a  .
All the best
