Hi man im German and hope i can help you. True to register a bike in Germany you have to be "gemeldet" at a adress. For this some times you need a letter from the owner of the house proofing that you permanently live there. Then you need to get a so called "Doppelkarte" or new "EVB Nummer" from the Insurance companie (very easy just one phone call). Then you have to go to the "Zulassungsstelle" were you have to show your passport & adress. You also have to give a Bank Accound so they can withdraw the tax every year. This also works with a Bank Accound of a friend, if you have a power of authority for this.
The bike also has to have "TÜV" (road worthy test every 2 jears).
Then you will get your number plate and can start to ride inside of EU.
The insurance company will send you the contract details wich you have to fill out, sign (with bank details, details of your bike etc) and send back.
Other countrys might have different rules. For Russia you might need another insurance.
Enjoy your trip and PN me if you have any questions
