Rent Motorcycle in South America?
Hello. I am an experienced motorycle rider that lives in Canada. I ride about 15,000 kilometers per year. Each year I travel to another country and rent a motorcycle for anywehere from one week to a month. I've visited countries that have some rough riding conditions (India, Mexico, Costa Rica, Australia).
I have been doing some research and it sounds like Chile and Argentina are very beautiful countries to tour by motorcycle. I would want to fly to Santiago, rent a medium size motorcycle, and travel for roughly four to six weeks.
I've looked into a lot of different options: shipping, renting, buy-back, etc. I can't really find too much info. One shipping company quoted me $1650 US each way to fly a motorcycle from Vancouver to Santiago. The only place I've found that rents motorcycles wants $1400 US a month to rent a Honda XR250, and $1600 US to rent a BMW F650. These prices seem kind of high to me.
If the motorcycle has two wheels and a motor I will be happy! The trade name or the style does not matter - I am not a complainer.
I think that an enduro 250 - 600 is best, but will be happy with any motorcycle.
