The lower map is out of date... no carnet required in South America.
You can do Russia return without a carnet. Then ...
Alternatives?
a) buy a bike in each carnet country and sell it as you leave. Good for India. And some other parts of southern Asia.
b) pay for the carnet through an insurance thingy .. you will still pay .. but a lot less initially. No money back at the end though so at the end more expensive. And if you fail to complete the carnet the insurance company will come after you for their costs.
--------------------
No one here will encourage you to use a fake carnet. Risk? Confiscation of the bike + jail ... you do not want to go to jail? In Asia? And maybe flogging too in some countries... Don't even consider it.
------------------------
You have considered costs of transporting yourselves + bike? Think that will add up too!
