Most probably you can't buy proper motorcycle from Iran because they have cc-forbiding law for local motorcycles, that's not more than 200cc. And most of the brands circuling around there are unknown - for "western people".

So i'd recommend searching MC from west-Turkey, Istanbul's bike shops and markets. Make sure you have decent tyres on them if panning to go to Iran - you usually can't get proper tyres from there, most probably have to use some expensive DHL/Fedex etc for tyres if you need them fast in Iran.

Cheers, Margus

Hi ste,

I am sure that Turkey is better than Iran for buying bike. I have also read about the cc restriction in Iran. Anyway. Let me help you then. I don't like put my nationality in front, but in this issue it is useful to do it so. I am Turkish So, I may suggest you some desent advices. There is a site, a Turkis ebay site: the address is www.sahibinden.com I've just checked the site and found an BMW R1150GS. Its 2003 made and only did 320KM. Unbelievable, isn't it? And the price is.... 13.400 Euro. (Link is: http://www.sahibinden.com/pls/sahibi...?AdId=1083559) But negotiation is a tradition in Turkey You may get it 100-200 Euro chaper. You may also try http://www.ommriders.com/ A good and reliable motorbike fan page. Do not hasitate to contact with me for more information.
Best of Luck
