You might want to review the following threads, each has information that should be considered before purchasing a foreign registered bike in South America.
Some questions that need to be addressed:

You should research all laws pertaining to sale of foreign registered vehicles in Colombia. You will find many.
Will you be able to exit, if you want to, Colombia when the bike was admitted in the name of owner on title? What will you do when the temporary import permit expires, not sure about Colombia but max time in country for a foreign registered bike is 8 months in Argentina.
