I can't think of a sane reason why anyone would buy one.
I have one in the garage, and two currently in Mongolia. (The Trail model).

Ok, the one in the garage is being stripped for spares as we speak ... We just need to get to Barnaul.

I'd agree, no sane person would buy one of these and ride them through the Americas, round the world and then to Mongolia. :-)

TBH, these are not the right bike for this......

Hi guys! I am planning to travel from Italy to UB with a 17 years old Suzuki tu250x in july/august

Do you think that, if the bike will still be alive after that and if I really will manage to reach UB, there will be some kind of market for that?

I was thinking of travelling through Russia and coming into Mongolia just at the end of the journey ... anyone of you has ever done that and has maybe any idea on how to apply for the visa for Russia without knowing exactly the precise dates of coming and going back? (after selling the bike I was also planning to take the transiberian train till moscow.......)

Thanks guys!

Riding through Russia can be tedious. Only worth doing if you like long straight roads.

If the bike gets to UB, then ride it across. Or enter in the west.

Visa is fine, exact date not 100% problem, it is just a start and finish date.

Of course I will do that!!! :-)

I am just a bit concerned because I don't like the idea of having maybe the go back to Milano on the bike again ihihiihi...

Does anyone know approximately how much could shipping back the bike cost?


Thanks again guys! This forum is really fantastic!!

Ciao Marta,
If you have double entry visa for Russia (I used russiantour.com in the past in Milan and I was happy with their service) and want to take the transiberian train on the way back, you can think about riding from Italy to Mongolia, then re-enter Russia and put the bike on the train in Irkutsk (there are reports about that on this forum) to Moscow. From there it will be easy to re-enter Europe on your own bike...
ciao
cristiano

PS: remember you also need visa for Mongolia
PPS: if you want to ship the bike from UB back to Europe, you can contact Sambor (advfactory.com), as I think he will offer this service too this season
