We bought two AKT Adventour 250s from a dealer in Bogota back in October and you should expect to wait 2-3 days from when you pay for the bike to have it plated and the ownership card in your possession.
Don't pay for the bike unless they have the actual bike in the showroom and you do the paperwork for it. We had to wait 10 days for the actual bikes to be shipped to Bogota from Medellin since they were sold out nationally and their estimates for arrival were overly optimistic.
That said, we went to maybe 10 different AKT dealers and saw plenty of 200TTRs so you shouldn't have that problem. Our dealer had the bikes registered in Soacha, a suburb of Bogota, because it's apparently a quicker turnaround there. They will send the documents via courier so it just depends how efficient the courier is. Maybe express your urgency to the dealer to see if they can speed things up.
Also, if you're planning to go into Ecuador or further south I would definitely get any parts or tires sorted in Colombia since there's much greater availability and variety there.
