Hi Martin & co
This is not entirely true anymore. You can only bring the bike in on a tourist VISA, if you hold residency, work or student VISA you do no longer hold the right to bring a vehicle in on a temporary tourist importation permit!
It no problem bringing the bike in with a tourist visa though, and you can keep extending the import permit along side your tourist visa - up to 6 months per calender year. The other 6 month per year the bike must be outside Colombia!

Please remember, your bike can not be in the country for longer than you have a valid visa. If you and or your bike then leave the country, the law does not prohibit you from starting all over again. Shipping your bike into Colombia is very easy and virtually no cost. Shipping the bike out is next to impossible and if you can get some one to ship your bike, the cost is thousands of dollars.
Good luck, Martin
