Thanks Adrian for that bit of info on Magadan.
I also thought about getting a bike in UB (plenty there) but that would mean riding a lot more K's, especially because i would like to ride back to europe from eastern russia. The plan is to get a 250cc trialbike in Japan and then head north to Wakkanai / Hokkaido and onto Sachalin Island/Russia.
Russia mainland I would probably hit well north of Khabarovsk, but still need to work out further details. Depending on how much hassle/cost if of the flight to Magadan I might just ride a return on the road of bones from yakutsk.
Apparently this is a much more common route for Japanese worldtravellers and know of a few who travelled this route only a couple of months ago.
