Yes.
Left Paris late May 2019, riding 2x WR250r. Passed through F,D,Pl,Lt, Lv, (relatively quickly and easily ~300km/day), R arriving in Moscow.
Loaded the bikes on the trans Siberian train for the ride to Novosibirsk (having already driven the roure in a 4x4, we know that its a long boring drive, we wanted to save tires, chains brakes for Mongolia).
Passed through Mongolia, exiting in the far east, arriving in Vladivostok, then the Ferry to Japan by mid August.
The best part of the trip was couch surfing from one Russian biker club to another. Check out ADVrider Tentspaces page and make contact with our Russian colleagues. From there they'll pass you on to the next club. Such great people, such solidarity. Highly recommended.
