Carnet De Passage for Central/South America

[robertjcuervo]

I'm an Australian citizen looking at purchasing a motorbike in Canada and riding it through as much of The Americas as possible and then further permitting shipping the motorcycle on wards to Europe and setting up for a while before continuing on to Australia.

Buying the bike in Canada seems most practical as they no longer require Carnet De Passages and it would give me the freedom of keeping the motorcycle in countries that don't require a Carnet for as long as possible. In the event i also have to cancel/postpone the trip i would then be able to do so in a country that doesn't require any fees incurred.

Can anyone give me updated information on which countries in Central/South America require Carnet's?

Given the bike eventually makes it to Australia i'd then worry about getting it in to Australia.
