Thanks for the references for equipment, I'll check out those areas while I'm here.

I doubt that. Why would it make a difference?

I thought it may matter because I know that taking a foreign vehicle into the U.S., it must pass safety and emissions testing. If the bike is already sold in the U.S., the manufacturer will already have said testing done. Otherwise, it can be quite expensive to do the testing.
Also I have found some friends interested in coming along for different segments of the trip. I was thinking about shipping my Ninja 500 from DC to Chile and using it as a loner to people who wanted to come along, having them split all associated costs. Seems as though I will always be accompanied by at least one friend so I will never be left alone with two bikes.
Would it be easier / cheaper to buy another bike down here?
Can the ninja 500 handle the roads with rather low clearance?
I figured it may save me a headache at the U.S. / Mexico border. Leave my Honda Falcon at my place in Mexico then take a U.S. platted bike the rest of the way back home.
