Carnet - what is a motorcycle?
it sounds like an odd question but the idea is this: we want to travel from Togo to Kinshasa. Having limited time we have to get our transport in Togo or another place in WA.
To avoid the hassle of import taxes and carnets we thought about buying small motorcycles / motos / scooters in Lome or elsewhere in that region. This would give us a local registration (a Togolese registration of our car two years ago gave us an easy time in Benin, Niger and Chad)
Do you think there is a certain size (100 cc?) below which it will pass as too small to require a carnet?
Obviously we will pass ECOWAS (Togo, Benin, Nigeria), Cameroon, Gabun, Congo (2x). Maybe we will leave the bikes in Kinshasa and then head on to Cape Town later. How far will we get with our idea? Namibia? Or even ZA?
Thanks for any help!!
