i'm planning an extended stay in Mexico, based mostly around Yucatan area but would like to take a few trips, Belize, Guatemala, Pacific coast maybe.
I prefer to travel by motorbike but not something huge, 250cc or less would be fine for me as i'm happy to go slow, stop often, and take my time and explore.
i understand if i enter mexico on a 180 day tourist visa i cannot legally buy a vehicle in mexico (or at least register one). is there any way around this?
i think long term renting is very expensive. i live in Thailand now and I can rent a scooter for a month for about $200US. i think that is out of the question in mexico right?
option 3 is buy a bike in say Texas and drive down, no idea what the practicalities of doing that are, safety issues, etc. i think i can 'import' a bike for up to 180 days without a problem right? maybe this is my best option.
any thoughts please?
thanks, steve
