Seoul to Vladivostok to St Petersburg on TransSiberian Highway
Arriving July 2014 in Seoul, ferry to Vladivostok, then Trans-Siberian highway to Moscow and St Petersburg. Understand it is "all paved" but not sure what that means. Currently planning on taking my Goldwing 1800 (that's my bike and I would like to stick with it), my brother on a 800GS. Agree completely with argument for smaller bikes in general and dual sports in particular, on rough roads, but seems that if the TSH is their main road, connecting large cities, and I assume regular cars handle it, the touring bike will do ok.
Has anyone taken the route in the last couple years (Vladivostok, Zavitinsk, Ulan-Ude, Kranoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Kurgan, Ufa, Moscow). Especially interested in the portion to Ulan-Ude.
And of course, any other thoughts.
Thanks.
