What I meant about the distance is 50kmh moving average is about the limit, it would have been so much nicer to limit the ride to 200km per day, so much less pressure and more looking around and relaxing

If i do this i have to quit my journey , because then it is definitely a time problem.
There is no way to spend more time then 2 Month of riding

Just skip some part then.
You can easily get in 9 days to Mongolia via Russia from Europe.

Sorry, dont want to skip.
I love to ride, and i will take the planned way to mongolia.
I am quite sure that works.
On my way home i will take a faster route.
About the northern route everyone says something different, also here.
Like you write, dont take it when it was raining recently, walter wrote i should be possible.......

DO NOT do the north road in solo if it has rained.
Colebach is on a light bike. I would also say the north road his doable if you were on a light single cylinder bike.
Transalp with hard luggage is not light.
You might attempt it if you find someone else to come with you...
And forget about doing 400km + a day in Mongolia... Unless you want to be severely injured or worst.

I don't know about that - even two up we managed 300km very easily (southern route).

Our whole group had no choice but to do 400km day,(southern route) but we ran into bike problems and severe fatigue as the corrugations just shook the bikes apart, and ourselves.
It is doable, it is NOT enjoyable, which is what I said before
Slow down and enjoy Mongolia, otherwise you are just wasting time and money
We only went there because of the China situation otherwise it would hav been a different planned journey, not the rushed and dangerous one we undertook to satisfy visa and entry requirements into China
Cheers

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.
