    Any inmates have any good shipping info or contacts that can transport a Honda CRF 450X from Houston, Texas to Guatemala. I would plan to import and plate the bike with a Guatemala plate. Bike is street legal. would prefer to have the bike transported via truck and thru the Tapachula border. Thanks in advance.

    I may be trailing down to Mexico City from Laredo TX my KTM 990 ADV.

    We then can work on a way to move it to the MEX/GUAT border.

    Hey, antiqua rider here, i have a friend who just shipped a truck down gonna ask him who he used. other than that, make sure your plate sticker is good, the Mexi's are real sticklers about that... dunno why. I have a copy of the guate SAT blue book vals from registering my BigV this year, if you want it I can email you separately. You don't have to pay what they say if you have a bill of sale and a copy of the check you (supposedly) used to pay for the bike, otherwise they'll get ya for the 'full' value according to them. If you need a tramitador (required now to switch plates) let me know have all those contacts too. Good luck!

    Thank you both for your replies. Sorry for the late response. I need to turn on my email notification.

    Back in Seattle, FINALLY
    get it across the border into Mexico on a TVIP and take it to a Castores warehouse. They'll put it on a pallet and have it down in their warehouse in Tuxtla Gutierez in 5-7 days. Ride it from there to Guat.
