Part of my route plan involves the three countries mentioned. I was hoping I´d have plenty of time at hand, but now it looks like that might not be the case.. and I`d like to spend some time in India anyway, so perhaps Im trying to get there quickly.

Am I too optimistic to think I could make it from Greece all the way to India in, say, 2-3 weeks? Looking at the route, it seems theres close to 2000kms in Turkey, at least 2000kms in Iran, and more than 1000 in Pakistan. Ive done 5000kms in a shorter time several times, but Ive never been to these 3 countries, so I dont really know about the road conditions in each country and their rural areas, etc.

I´ll be starting off September, riding 2-up on a Vstrom650. On good roads its relatively easy to cover up to 500-600kms per day, but I guess they wont be good all the way?

Do you think it would be a good idea to fit some more offroad-rubber, or can you do the whole stretch on standard "dualsport"-tyres (if you keep on the main roads 90% of the time, that is?) I´d figure tyres of these sizes probably are not widely available in these countries, so maybe it´d even be worthwhile to carry an extra set of them, too (though I´d like to avoid that, as we will have more than enough luggage already?)

Is getting gasoline possibly a problem in any of these areas? My bike can do 350kms with that load, and I will probably carry 5 liters extra which gets us close to 450kms.

All info & experience regarding these, or any other things considering this route, would be heartily welcomed! Pekka
