I'm wondering the same.
I'm planning to go from Croatia and arrive next September with two bikes to UB , selling them and continuing by backpacking.
Currently I'm in process of getting the bikes here in Croatia. The problem is, don't know if I should get cheaper Aprilia Pegaso 2002 or more expensive BMW F 650 GS 2002. Which bike would sell easier and for which price approximately?!
I've written to Oasis, no reply so far.. tnx for any info!

The only reason id ride a pegaso is if it was free.
I can't think of a sane reason why anyone would buy one.

Haha 
True, resale value is quite low.
But...Pegaso has exactly the same Rotax engine as F 650 GS, has higher clearance, bigger tank and is cheaper. Budget is a big issue for my trip, but if resell is impossible, than, I have to consider alternatives.

I have one in the garage, and two currently in Mongolia. (The Trail model).
Ok, the one in the garage is being stripped for spares as we speak ... We just need to get to Barnaul.
I'd agree, no sane person would buy one of these and ride them through the Americas, round the world and then to Mongolia. :-)
TBH, these are not the right bike for this......

Hi guys! I am planning to travel from Italy to UB with a 17 years old Suzuki tu250x in july/august
Do you think that, if the bike will still be alive after that and if I really will manage to reach UB, there will be some kind of market for that?
I was thinking of travelling through Russia and coming into Mongolia just at the end of the journey ... anyone of you has ever done that and has maybe any idea on how to apply for the visa for Russia without knowing exactly the precise dates of coming and going back? (after selling the bike I was also planning to take the transiberian train till moscow.......)
Thanks guys!

Riding through Russia can be tedious. Only worth doing if you like long straight roads.
If the bike gets to UB, then ride it across. Or enter in the west.
Visa is fine, exact date not 100% problem, it is just a start and finish date.
