So easy in Peru! We do all of it for you! You arrive and sign a paper and ride away immediately with all paperwork, license plate, and insurance you need! No better way to save your valuable Epic Ride time!

Sorry for kind of hijacking the thread but I'm selling a Tornado in Medellin in case that you are interested...

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...do-xr250-92242

Buying it was easy, just had to get a RUNT and the dealer did the rest.

I'll take care of the paperwork for the sale. Taxes and insurance are paid since the bike is quasi new and no fines (yet , but I'll show you the website were you can check them yourself).

Cheers

I know Peru is perhaps in the middle of your planned trip, but the paperwork is SO EASY here when you have a knowledgeable person! Also, since it is almost impossible to sell for value in another country as it is illegal, returning to Peru is no so far away!

PM me if you'd consider Peru.

As an American I only needed my passport. Info on where i am currently buying a bike from the dealership in Colombia is here, i believe i am done and only waiting for paperwork, if that is the case it is easy and took sn hour or so for everything, but several days for the bike.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
