I don't know if this is helpful, but after hearing lots of horror stories about massive Carnet bond payments I finally went to the Oman Automobile Club to ask specifically what I would need to put down to take my '13 Ducati Multistrada GT through Iran.
The answer was 700 Omani Rials which is around US$1,800. Not a huge burden when you consider the other costs of a serious transcontinental trip and that the bike carries a value here of around US$26,000.
Also, is it possible to get your bond refunded as soon as you leave Iran and send back the Carnet paperwork to the issuer, freeing up the money for the rest of your trip?
