Good stuff. Can you explain a bit about the transit option or anywhere is that discribed in more detail please? How to apply for it etc? Am looking at going through Iran with a Transalp 650 this summer... Thx!

I have not done it myself but some people I follow have done it with Hussein from Urmia.

For me it seems quite expensive but on the other hand you need no carnet to transit.

I got this answer, from http://thepersianride.com


You could indeed temporary import your bike although you have to exit again after exactly 7 days which is very little to explore the real Persia.

Best regards,
Stephan

I was also in talk with Hussein from Urmia, he suggest the same , but for 7 days and price is high. and my ADAC carnet is of no use. I have to re-think if I go to Iran. With all the situation developing.

If you have to go enter Iran for further travelling, the best option : you can hire a closed pick-up truck or trailer , the custom official sealed the container /bike at entry point, which you can open at exit border.
For this option you dont need anyones help, just you need to find pick truck probably with driver.

I didnt/willnot try myself, but the official at the https://en.taci.ir/ suggested me. My plan was to enter Iran and then ship transport my moto from bandar abbas to Mumbai. but it seems now very difficult

I contacted him ... everything is possible, as I have seen in the last couple of months, the way to Australia by land is quite complicated and expensive

His answer ...
Hi,

I can offer our service coming via Armenia and exit to Pakistan and your vehicle can stay in Iran 7 days maximum. This service cost $ including third party insurance

Kind regards

Hm I don't understand why the money isn't just mentioned?! I heard amounts of 450-500usd for 7 days transit. But not clear whether you are than travelling separately from your bike and what guarantee you have that your bike doesn't disappear... Anyone more details?

And another thing: technically for Iran than you may not need CDP than but since you need it for Pakistan as it is part of the group of countries for which it is issued, the cost remain the same. So: transport through Iran 500usd + CPD 200 USD + visa Iran + visa Pakistan (not to mention the bankguarantee for CPD). That is easily gonna cost like 850 USD just to get through those 2 countries?

Overland travel to Iran in 2019
I recently investigated (April 2019) the feasibility of a three-week tour of Iran by bike. We used an Iranian (bike-riding) guide to look into it for us. He directly contacted the Iranian Foreign Ministry in Teheran who told him that currently UK, US and Canadian citizens were not permitted to enter Iran by motorbike (with or without a guide).

It sounded like it would be possible for other EU citizens -but put together with other information here, it sounds like it's not currently possible on bikes over 250cc!.

Is it possible to fly into Iran and rent/buy a bike when you get there? ...... Don't know!
