Tiger, the routes have been very well documented since the 5ish years since this thread (by people in this thread).

There is a decent gravel road between Bratsk and Severobaikalsk (reportedly the easy part of the BAM road, I have only ridden the sections further east). There is a gravel road that connects Severobaikalsk to Irkutsk and Olkhon island. There is also a hydrofoil (boat) connecting Severobaikalsk and Irkutsk via Olkhon. The hydrofoil is a passenger boat and I doubt you could travel with a motorcycle.

For maps have a look at open street maps.

pushbikes are allowed on the hydrofoils. Motorcycles definitely are not.

Prices on hydrofoil for overbaggage were quite high, I think 4 or 5 % of ticket price per kg.
