Buying a bike in Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan
 

Hi guys,

I have a royal enfield here in the UK, and am thinking of shipping it to Kyrgyzstan for £750, meeting it there, and driving it back the the UK.

Would it be more attractive an option to try and just buy a cheaper bike out in Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan? Or would I run into problems bringing it over borders, especially in Europe.

It would certainly save my bike a lot of damage and cost of shipping, but is it even possible to bring a bike from central Asia into the UK?

If anyone has any better ideas I am open!

Thanks in advance,

Jamie

I have heard of several that have bought bikes here and road them to wherever. As long as you have the proper documents there should not be any trouble. A Swiss man bought a KLR here that was registered in the States and road it everywhere without any trouble. He is now on a bicycle in Ethiopia and his KLR is sitting here for sale, if you like.

Did you find a bike
 

Hi. I'm planning a trip through the 'stans of this year and curious if you were able to finally buy a bike? What was the process?
I'm hoping to buy a bike in either Tashkent, Bishkek, or Almaty around April.
Thanks

Bike needed?

what kind of bike are you looking for?

Hi Jamie (thenational) did you manage to do this adventure in the end? Looking at something similar and would be great to hear your experience, cheers, Marko
