Leaving the bike behind in Brazil?

[Wauschi]

We will soon take a break from our RTW trip and fly from Rio to elsewhere.

The plan is to stow away or sell the Chilean registered bike.

Will we run into troubles when entering the country with our motorbikes and flying out without them? I assume the bikes are entered into the system when entering the country.
When leaving customs might ask where the bikes left.

Has anyone done this before?

Cheers Wauschi

Which time to you want to sell the bike? Im looking for a cheap 125cc bike in Brasil but have not planed anything yet...

No problem leaving a bike in brazil. They do not issue TIPs. So there is no record of it entering nor leaving. I know as I had left a bike there for over 6 months with no hassels. It is also a great place to change ownership.

Thanks for the feedback.

Ta-rider, where did you hear about the possible issues?

I will get there with two 200cc adventure bikes by the end of February. They are 3 months old only and the plan is to sell them for about 400.- Euro each.

Cheers, Wauschi

When you enter by road your mode of transport is to be entered on the tourist entry slip. Whether that means it is in the computer as well is not known.

I am in Manaus now having entered Brasil from Uruguay Jan 2014. I left the bike in Belem in March 2014 and flew back to Canada. Picked the bike up Jan 9 this year. There were no problems for me in any way. There is NO paperwork for tourist bikes here.

Great trip up the Amazon by boat. Venezuela next week.

Could you let us know if you have any problems when you finally exit Brazil because that is the final step of the procedure.
