I'll let Muztoo comment on selling in Tajikistan. But as far as buying and selling goes in Kyrgyzstan, here are the new tariffs. Should apply to both cars and motorcycles.

Hi, I've got similar ideas for this spring/summer and would like to buy a bike in Kyrgyzstan or any other country in the area. I was thinking of getting an Ural. How hard is it to get one and what would be a normal price?
Thanks
Dan

Fairly easy to do. You just need to get a full power of attorney on the bike and you can keep the local tags. Typical cost is around $1000. Such as this one. Probably better check about the Soviet era tags, but it's a decent examble.

Maybe it's easy to rent a bike? I can help you on this in Tajikistan, Dushanbe.

Thanks for the replies, it sounds promising. I do kinda prefer having my own ride rather than a rental... Already quite excited about this trip

Hi Muztoo
Yeah still wanna get a bike but of course won't buy one without seeing it first. If everything goes to plan, I'll be in Kyrgyzstan in the beginning of May...

Motorcycle registration
So guys - did you manage it to get back on the motorcycle you bought in Kazakh/Kyrgyz to Europe?
So I was wondering if the paperworks actually doable? What is the best way how to do it?
Should I buy that (or some local will buy for me in Kazakh or Kyrgyz´ and I will get power of attorney) - get transit plates - ride through kazakh borders - russian border - ukraine or latvian border to EU.
So what are the costs of the paperwork and is it doable - getting transit plate (how much does it cost?) and should I expect that I will have to bribe on the borders/pay high fees?
Or is there any other better option there?
Cheers,
Jan
