Renting (or buying?) in Punta Arenas
 

Hi,

I'm looking for local insight into where to rent a motorcycle in Punta Arenas, Chile. All of the companies I'm finding online are charging >$150 a day, and it seems a little nuts to spend 4x more than it would cost to rent a car. For reference, I'm planning to spend about a week on the road in early october of this year, possibly trying to get to Ushuaia and back.

And if anyone is familiar with the legalities down there, is it insane/impossible for a foreigner to buy a bike for a short trip and then resell it soon after?
I lived in Nicaragua for eight years, so knowing the language and having a tolerance for local bureaucracy are small hiccups. I'm just wondering if it can even be done.

Thanks!
