Zostran: as you seem to be well informed: is it possible to bring a vehicle into russia - then fly back home without vehicle and to let the bike be driven out by another person - which is authorized by notary permission which I provide.

No, the right to use the vehicle cannot be transferred. The importer can be a passenger, but must be in/on the vehicle at all times when it's being operated.

The bike could be exported by a transport company (or anyone with a truck/trailer), just as long as it isn't driven without the person who imported it.

Thank you for this information. So you say that every privat person with a trailer or truck can bring a motorbike over the border? Somewhere I read that importation of 2 vehicles (in this case the trailer plus the motorbike) is not allowed. How about this issue?

Each person can temporarily import only one vehicle. If you wish to leave Russia without the bike, it can be exported by any other means, just as long as it isn't driven on public roads without the declared importer.

OK and will it make any difference if the rider enters via Kirgisistan, changes the motorbike there, and the next driver will ride through Kasachstan, Russia to Mongolia?

It can't be changed in Kyrgistan as that country is in a customs union with Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia.

It would be easier to do the swap on the Uzbek border.

Also, make sure anyone who isn't the registered owner has a power of attorney allowing them to ride the bike and import it into any countries you're planning to visit.

OK but if if the swap occurs an the Uzbek border - the problem will be the same - but only in Usbek. Because then in Uzbek one driver will enter and another will leave... what is the difference to Kyrgistan?

OK here is another suggestion:
On the entrance to Russia (coming from Georgia) my friend, which has power of attorney for all the countries - including Kyrgistan - will get temporary import documents from Russian customs. So in the view of the custom union - the bike is linked to him. Now to swap the bike to another friend - he can give a power of attorney to the other friend.
So - it's not me to give the power of attorney to the third driver - but it's the driver who entered custom union who gives the attorney. How about this?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
