What comes to VISA you get it in a week from Venäjä Viisumikeskus The price is 84€ for a one time VISA. I used this service and it was no big deal to get it done. If don't live near to Helsinki, you can get all done by mail, but it cost more and take longer
Motorcycle insurance, you contact your insurance company for a green card. The difference is what they cover in case of accident compare to what they cover in European country's
If you have a bike what is not in your name. Then you have to get permission to take the bike abroad from the one registered as owner. In my case it was Santander. They do check this at the border
The road between Vaalimaa - St Petersburg is good. Traffic is like in Russia by default, where 100% of the drivers consider them self as better than average. Pretty soon you adapt to the traffic. Keep in mind to look in the mirrors both side, because you don't know from what side they try to pass you
Good luck. And if you stop at Pizza Italia, update if they have pizza on the list. And if you have time, don't miss Kronstadt
