Yes, we have done it in Istanbul. Its dead easy, take the bike to customs where they will sign it in. There is a cost, although I can't remember how much it was - it was a few years ago now. When the bike is in customs it will be fine; at Istanbul airport, where we left the bike, it was parked in a shed so it was at least under cover. It looked a bit ropey but when we got back there were no problems at all and we left all the panieers attached with kit etc.
Basically there were no problems at all, it does look a bit iffy, especially in the grey and the wet, but the bike came back with no probs at all!
