Tour to Patagonia
 

Hey everybody!
I'm totally new in this forum, but need some advice. I'm currently in Buenos Aires, I have been traveling for four months started in Mexico, and I really want to see Patagonia especially on a bike, I have one month to do it, and my experience from Denmark is non-existing, I got the license just before I started the journey.

I have thought about buying a bike in Buenos Aires and then go the Chile and from there go to the south via Carretera Austral, and the back into Argentina to Ushuaia, where I will sell the bike and hopefully not loose to much of its value. I have also considered renting a bike, but found the costs to much for one month. It was over 4000 dollars.

What are your suggestions to my trip? I want to go in a few days, so if it's necessary to wait more than a couple of days with the registration I don't have the time and would hitchhike or take buses down there instead.

Thanks the advice and happy new year!

Try renting in Chile, Motorcycle Rental , a month on the 400 would be less than $3000

Thanks for the comment, good idea although the 400 is only for short trips...

My wife rode one of theirs to O'Higgins and back for 3 weeks, ask them. Or go for the KLR.

You will have more fun on the 400 if you can rent it. It's light. You do need to pack light yourself.

If you are a new rider, even a 650cc moto will be big and you will tip it over a lot. It will be hard to lift back up with your gear loaded on it.

I travel in SA on a 250cc Honda Tornado, traveling last year for 6 weeks and again soon this year for 6 weeks. I've been riding motos for 40 years, so my advice has some experience behind it.
