Warning about selling/leaving a bike in S. America
I shipped my KLR650 back to Miami from Rio de Janeiro April 2003 for $800. Two other gringos with KLR's, at the same time, were paying the same agent $1,600.
I strongly recommend you and anyone else planning to rent, sell or store a bike in South America read info from a Website (see URL below) created specifically for the benefit of other riders in hopes they would not be victimized as was the creator, when he sold his Honda XR650L in Paraguay.
Be aware that sales of foreign bikes in Latin America are generally in violation of customs laws and avoid paying the high tarrif to legally transfer and register the bike. Most Latin American countries limit a tourist vehicle's temporary import permit to 90 days and some might allow extensions for a total of 180 days.
