just a guess, but I think that if you go 100% "by the book", bikes over 250cc (or something) are banned from entering. Which, in reality, has not applied, at least when entering from Turkey. We went at the end of October, and regarding our bike, the carnet was all that they asked for.
Some say you can even do Iran without carnet, but that might mean a lot more hassle & delay at the border. And especially if continuing towards India, it is a must.

This is message from Iran to Auto-moto association of the Serbia.
"Dear Violeta,

As you know the motorcycle in question has 600cc Capacity and according to the Iranian internal customs rules entering of such a motorcycle is not permitted. In the meantime, the price of this type of motorcycle is about USD 4000.

Thank you

Sanaz

Sharia Law
Hi - I went from Sharjah, UAE to Bandar e Abbas and exited after tabriz into Turkey in July this year on my GS1150. The people in the port customs were very helpful and accepted my carnet with no hassles (I am a British National).

Iranian Sharia law (i.e. literally the Law of the Road, not the religious "path of righteosness!) does not allow bikes above 125cc, but I had no real problems apart from someone at one of the peages chasing me and waving his arms around. Also, since the day I arrived, the Iranian Govt has introduced national petrol rationing, with every Iranian national issued a ration card, mandatory for purchasing fuel. I was told by the immigration police in Bandar e Abbas that I had to get one from my embassy in Iran but in reality, if you pull up and fill up, the Iranians are so helpful, they always offered to help me with their cards, along with tea, ice cream and visits to their houses!

I hope this helps - check my blog motociclistascondoscojones if you want more details,

Cheers,

Honesy.
