As far as Carnets go, the same rules apply to bikes as to cars. You'll need a Carnet for many countries in Africa.
Yes, a carnet is basically a passport for your vehicle. You put a substantial deposit down on the document (depending on the value of your vehicle and the country you want to visit). That deposit guarantee's you won't import the car, sell it and leave the country without paying taxes.
Loads of info on this site regarding carnets. Contact your Automobile Club for details.
