I'm gonna be doing the same route in 2006 on my Fazer 1000, going round Norway / Finland and then straight through from St. Pete.
I'm going for it - no train (sorry you just can't say you've been round the world on your bike if you take a train!)- I've been over a mountain using a goat track on the French / Italian border when a tunnel was shut down having ridden to it for half a day on the Fazer and my mate on an R6 and we made it (just). I don't think Russia can throw anything worse at me than that!
Go for it and Best of luck.
