My pal, Mark, and I travelled all the way down from Tallin in Estonia through Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic and whilst we saw cops with laser speed traps we were never stopped or stiffed for non existent traffic offences.
And just to reiterate Turbochargers warning about Turkey - speed limits are 70kph and not much leeway. The benefit from this is that the petrol prices are so steep that riding at 42mph gives you more mpg so it's a bit of a trade off plus you get to see more things at a slower pace.
If you want to go to Asia I would avoid Istanbul and go south to the Gallipoli peninsula and then get a ferry at cannakale for a few pounds - then you arrive in Asia but much better scenery plus further south the weather might be just a shade drier and warmer.
