#1 China requires guide, temp license & temp plate. it can be pricey, much lower with a group.
#2 no open border between Turkey & Armenia (go thru georgia), no open border between armenia & azerbaijan (go thru georgia). i think the azeri visa is fairly restrictive & then you have to deal with the ferry. alternatively you can go from georgia up into russia then across Kaz. its longer.
#3 iran, pak, india, bangladesh all require carnet. bangladesh was rumored to be requiring some crazy extra deposit. pakistan has lots of police escorts & requires some patience. myanmar is still not possible to cross as far as i know. recently a couple of big bikes made it in for a loop but traversing wasn't permitted. who knows it may change soon...
some people might be organizing groups to go across china from kyrgyzstan to laos...or another route. good luck
