Hi Djin,
Two months should be OK but we may need to change the itinerary, e.g. to cross Europe and enter Russia from Lithuania heading east straight till the Baykal lake and return from Mongolia, Kazakstan, .....
This year I completed a World Tour trip stage 1 over 3 months with my GSA Rallye, however I am thinking to buy the new Yamaha 700 for next year trip.
Perhaps you may wish to review my WT on facebook "Pierre de RUVO"
What motorbike you ride?
Kind regards
Pierre

Planning on flying bike to Venice and starting end of March from there, planing on entering Iran middle of May. I would like to do BAM and ROB if I have company. I bought DR 650 for this ride as 1190 is too heavy for me to pick it up.

I'm leaving Sweden late May / early June. I plan to be in Tayshet / Bratsk in late June, heading east along BAM and onto ROB.

I need to catch a train back to Europe/Moscow from Vladivostok in late August / early September.

Riding a G650XC.

Feel free to PM.

Cheers,
Dave

I'm on a similar route.

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...y-2019-a-97134

Flying from NYC to Spain mid April and heading from there to Lake Baykal through the Stans-Pamir -Mongolia to ship the bike back to Europe.

I'm thinking going through Chechenia instead of Iran to avoid the x5 carnet.

Is it true that the Iran carnet is that expensive?

I was thinking about ferrying form Azerbaijan to Turkmenistan but according to Caravanistan there is a ridiculous amount of fees and unreliable boat schedules on that route, but open to do it if is not a pain in the ass.

I'll be guinea pigging a KTM 790 if everything happens as planned. Shipping my bike from the U.S. and back will complicate things too much for my tight schedule.

My email is martinlazaro at gmail . com

Hej Pierre,

how will you cross the Balkans?
I'm planning a ~4 weeks roundtrip in the Balkans for May.
I'll approach from Switzerland (maybe Austria), dive in through Slovenia and then basically head south (Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Mazedonia).
From there back via Croatia Coast, or Italy, not sure.

Greetings, Lars
