Its hard to find a motorcycle for rent in Southamerica. I have found only Spaarwater KTM in Chillan/Chile, Walter Nosiglia in La Paz/Bolivia and Werner Gloede in Valencia/Venezuela(but I think he closed his agency). Local dealers sometimes rent out small dirtbikes, but they are often in bad condition. The price per day for a KTM LC4, XL259, Tenere...)is usually 50$+ per day. No real savings for weekly rentals.
So its better to bring your own bike. Buying bikes in Southamerica is generally very expensive and registering for a foreigner is very complicated. I got high offers for my Transalp, often 100% more than it would fetch in Europe. Did not sell it because I want to ride it.
Its easy to bring a bike into Chile or Argentina, as both countries have a efficient customs service at the airports, and at the borders as well.
Good luck
