Actually in Lima
 
Big bikes are fun, but i prefer to take the challenge of riding a small one over 32.000 km...I had too much of Transalps, Africa Twins and LC8s in the past :-D

Actually in Lima from Ushuaia, 840 km away from the world record on a 50 cc (11.200 km done).

The friend of mine had to go back to Italy, so i'll be on the road on my own till Alaska.

Don't leave me alone :-)

One Beta 50 RR on sale in Lima, if anyone interested :-( otherwise it will be trashed.

Hit it!

Could someone point me in the right direction for buy honda cgl or suzuki Gn 125cc in Santiago. And how much should I expect to pay?

If you look at the link I posted above for the guy who rode a CGL125 from Chile to Texas, you'll find this very comprehensive document on purchasing a small motorcycle in Santiago:
Guide to Buying a new motorcycle (or a car) in Chile for foreigners | Ondrej Jurik

He gives a good account of what paperwork is needed, costs, times, and even has a link for the dealership he used. He bought a new CGL125 for 650,000 pesos about 18 months ago.

Thanks so much. That is useful! Can I ask a quick question, My license is being sent from the UK and will take about a month to arrive! Could i manage without it, riding for a month up to Northern Argentina, or is that just a bad idea? Do I need it to buy the bike?

Hi,

I will soon arrive in Buenos Aires on my 125ccm Honda CGL. I did all the way from Santiago de Chile...via Venezuela ;)

Greetings from Bolivia, Tobi

Can't you get the carb adjusted for high-altitude? I known in the Himalayas people take the air filter housing off their Enfields to give them for o2.

Well i probebly could but Bolivia was just a small part of my trip and i did not want to take half the bike apart for this ;)

What bike are you planing to take?
ciao, Tobi

Just bring smaller jets for your carb. Rejetting a carb is hardly taking half the bike to bits. If you don't feel confident doing this yourself, any roadside mechanic will do it for you in about five minutes.

I couldn't find other jets anywhere between Santiago and Quito and every small dirtroad town I. Bolivia along the way. There was one mechanic who tried narrowing it by inserting a piece of copper wire into it. But removed it after pretty much all the rest of the work he done proved to be rubbish. (he did not silicon the top cylinder gasket nicely so I found the cylinder loosing oil) So if you know the make you'll get maybe bring some jets.
BTW I'm on a Honda nxr150 bros. Great bike if you're a little bit taller but still only have budget for a small cylinder bike. Plus it has a bit of an enduro setup so on a 300km strech of dirt full of holes it doesn't brake your back because it actually has a suspension, unlike a lot of the small bikes.

And now Pasto to Macoa on some of those dirtroads.
Cheers

My question is: is it possible to cover that distance on a 125cc bike loaded with equipment? The aim isn't to cover as much ground in the shortest time and no doubt it won't be as comfortable as on a bigger bike. We want to buy the bikes for around £500 MAX - reason why I'm asking about 125cc's as they're cheaper.

The Honda CGL or Storm seem to be some of the most common 125 motorbikes on sale in Chile on [url=http://www.Chileautos.cl]Chileautos.cl: miles de veh

I rode Cusco to Ayacucho to Hauncayo and back on a 125 recently. High altitudes but no problems. You can do it. I am riding from Lima, Montana to Lima, Peru on a 2013 Honda CRF 250 L. I love revs
