As mentioned, there is a car market near Bishkek on Sundays and there was a few bikes out there when I went.
There is also a dealer that sells new Chinese bikes that I found. You'd likely be better off with one of these than a used bike, as the Kyrgyz seem not to do much maintenance.
I ended up w/a jeep, but getting across the borders is no problem if you have a power of attourney for the vechicle.
For bigger enduros, the closest place is Almaty.
