I plan to leave in July to tour the Black Sea, route Finland-Russia,Moscow, Volgograd-Georgia,Tbilisi-Turkey-Greece- Makedonia- Montenegro-Serbia and so on back to Finland.
I don’t why, but The Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs does not recommend traveling to the Caucasus in the Russian region for example to northern Ossetia.
Do you know why, or is this typical ”It is forbidden for all to be sure”

Some friends of mine have been there.
It was no problem, but there is a high amount of special police around and I would avoid camping in this areas, should be safe driving around during daytime and in places with people around but nighttime is different.
Still in this area there are IS members around.

We did a similar route in 2016 from Georgia to St. Petersburg, but with a detour via Astrakhan/Elista/Volgograd. You could certainly take a more direct route from Vladikavkaz to Rostov.
Crossing Ingushetia, Chechnya and Dagestan to visit the cities mentioned above was not a problem. Lots of police and military checkpoints, but we were never stopped. Locals were very friendly and interested. We did camp wild one night on the border between Chechnya and Dagestan, after asking a farmer for permission to set up our tent on a patch of grass next to his field.

Hello Juha,
Sometimes some incidents happens but not a big issue.
You can ride in whole Caucasus region without problem. Try to obey the rules. Do not make suspicious things, be a low profile rider. That's all.
When you want to pass to Georgia from Caucasus be aware that:
You are not allowed to pass Sochi-Adler-Sukhumi route. It is for locals and Russian passport holders only.
You can use the route Vladikavkaz-Stepantsminda ...
If you will pass by Cappadoccia area give me a shout. Would be happy to meet. I live close to the area... (Kayseri)
Safe rides

Georgian military highway
Is the road any good these days?
My last time on this road was dreadful. Loose stone and mud. I'd it any better now. I will be on a goldwing. John
