Foreigner Wanting to Buy & Plate A Bike in South Africa
 

I'm beginning plans to travel Africa, hopefully starting in SA.

What I'm seeking is first hand (and hopefully recent) knowledge and experience of foreigners buying/registering a bike and traveling for extended periods and distances starting from SA.

Your expert knowledge would be GREATLY appreciated!

All the best,

Not easy without proof that you live there. Best is to get someone on whose name you can register it, then get a letter from that person giving you permission to drive it.

Registration
 

Well that option has def crossed my mind and I won't rule it out yet.

I think that maybe asking a lot of someone though rather than someone just letting you use their address a a temp residence. And I do plan to stay in SA for some time and return. Who knows, maybe I'll really like it and want to stay!

Anyone else have experience?

Thanx
