Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  Give me a break; yes, it is the same question, but really, I think seouljoe is the only one that responded, that had stated he had crossed it completely (and thanks for the warning about brer rabbit's tar patch).
Of course the follow on question is about an motorcycle repair facilities and in particular, tires. Do you all take them with you, or???
From the pictures on Google Earth, the road is a new four lane highway (though it is a little bothersome that the 2011 ITMB Russia map shows no road btwn Tygda and Nerchinsk (1000 km)).

I am seeing all the roads here ,,
https://maps.google.co.kr/maps?q=roa...ed=0CCIQ8gEwAA
https://maps.google.co.kr/maps?q=roa...ed=0CCIQ8gEwAA
Go see ,,
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...armin-et-63191
This will show minutest roads on your hand set.. for free.
MapsWithMe, detailed offline maps of the World for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android and Amazon Kindle Fire
I used Sygic | Bringing life to maps
GPS on Android ,, even the smallest back alley was shown with accuracy.
Now if you will spend time reading ,, this is where I first started,, spending hundreds of hours ,, for very question ,,, where to eat,, sleep ,, repair ,, etc
I went through thousands of way points ,, discarded 90% ,, kept the essential ones. Amazing amount of info here,,
Load the GPS waypoints,, Walter and others put their hard work onto the Google Earth ,, over 10,000 way points,, showing your very road +
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...aypoints-50860
Your Honda has a shop in every major cities,, even small villages have it,, unless it's a major part,, then it will have to come from a major parts center in Russia.
You will be doing highways mostly, with the Gold Wing,, I see no harsh wear and tear.
Lastly ,,,
If you do a search here ,, you will see info not only on Trans Siberia, going back 10 years. But from Norway to S.Africa.. Antartica to Alaska. I've read and read ,, for my life depended on it.
I only want to thank those that went before me ,, and have spent their energy and good will to post their knowledge.
Our foremost job is to read first ,, then ask ,, if answer cannot be found.
Of all your angst ,, 50% of the journey is over ,, Once you bike hits Korea ,, then get on to the ferry to Vladivostok. After that ,, you will experience amazing scenery ,, great people of Russia (Most Part) and you will feel wonderful doing it.
Good luck,,

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
