I did a similar ride. Only I went over to Buda and then down into Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and then back to my home in Germany.

Thanks for the report.Sounds like fun. Can you tell of any of the logistics you went through to get the bike in and out of Hungary? Im off to Hungary for 4+ months come late summer (from the US.). Are their any Euro webiste that have used bikes for sale for the area of Buda/Hungary Thanks!

There were no logistics involved really. Being an EU citizen means I can travel just about anywhere in Western & most of Eastern Europe without any hassle. Entering the ex communist countries meant at the most, a cursory glance at my passport. Our normal UK insurance copvered us for all coubtries except Croatia where we had to buy insurance at the border.

As a US citizen, your insurance situation will be very different to ours. I can imagine you needing a residential address in Hungary & possibly some sort of International Driving Permit?

I've no idea where to look for used bikes in Hungary. The only place I can suggest is

The websiite of German bike magazine Tourenfahre. The sites in German, I think the link takes you to the page for used bike sales.

Good luck!
