Vincent: Still no real bike market in UB, and very few big bikes. Just some used Japanese models, about 3 BMWs and a lot of Russian Planeta 2-strokes.
The tour agency still has the F650s, but they are getting quite old and I heard they are not well maintained.
I know the motocross federation/club. They are nice guys. There are bike rallies a few times each summer, but usually they are hard to find out about in advance.
Mercedes used to have a German mechanic who knew something about fixing BMW bikes, but he has left Mongolia.
Options for "real" repairs of bikes in Mongolia, or for buying non-Russian bikes here, are still very limited.
