I'd have to say I agree with that, but I'm guessing you must be sitting on a trust fund to be able to afford that trip! Landies dont give the best mpg at the best of times......
I didn't have any bike experience when I decided to do a big overland trip, but am glad I went for it anyway. If you do the direct access it should be clear whether you want to go on a bike or car, I was totally hooked after day 1!
That said if you do go keep an eye out for a Brit plate and a Lucky Strike paint job heading West from Lake Baikal to Blighty around June/July
best of luck
