Sorry I cannot help on what visas you´re gonna need. For example your country´s foreign ministry should have info on that.
Turkey does not require a carnet for foreign bikes.
Iran officially does, but some claim it can also be handled at the border - I cannot confirm this, as I had the carnet, when I crossed into Iran. Just bribing your way in might turn out more complex than you think.

ok.information for entering Turkey by motocycle.
USA.passport holders.
multiple visa available for 90 days at the border gates.
PAK.passport holders.
Visa must be stamped on your passport page by the consulate in your home town. we do the same to enter Pakistan and did so even for our search rescue team members who are still there.
If your bike is USA.registered,
insurance available at the border gates.Ipsala and Kapıkule.
(About 10 euros for 1 month)
The bike will be stamped on your passport page and will be cleared when you leave Turkey.It can stay in Turkey for 6 months, if you are retired and this confirmed by theTurkish Consulate, it can stay for 1 year whether with you or without you.
EU.customs borders are included Turkeys.So you must have the carnet to
leave Turkey and enter Iran.Carnet available both at east and west border gates.T.T.O.K.(visit Turkish Touring and automobile club offices).
THE TOURING AND AUTOMOBILE CLUB
For Iran, it's better you check on net which passport will give you more official advantage.(Ministry of External Affairs).But ı'm sure Pakistan passport
will have more advantage for friendships.
2 riders of our club is in Zahedan today going to China.You can check their experiences in İran on the webpage.
Trans Asia - Burak Galip Akkurt - Ismail Gumus
If you come to Turkey, you are welcome to our club garage for welcome drinks and adventure talks. And you will be the first Pakistan rider we have
met since 1968.
Wish you all the best.

istanbul bisiklet motosiklet explaned most of the things. however, i would like to correct a little issue. unless you have Turkish registered bike, you can not obtain carne de passage from Turkish Touring and automobile club.
carne de passage (cdp) is issued where your bike is registered. so, you have to have cdp before you leave. this subject has been discussed in some topic.
"search and you shell find!"
good luck
