Assuming your bike is USA-registered, it would be difficult if not impossible

As Mehmet says above:
" 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."

But it's actually a "worse"/ more complicated situation. Iran Ministry will not
issue personal visa to USA-passport holder unless that person is part of an "organized" group or tour arranged through an approved Iran-based travel agent on a pre-approved itinerary. Even if you can afford time & money to make these arrangements, such visa approvals for USA-passport holders also depend a lot on current political climate; very unlikely in current climate.

That leaves your PAK passport as only likely option to enter Iran; and as Mehmet says, you need to find out exact procedure for Iran Ministry to approve visa for PK-passport holder.

That means--in your circumstances--if you are intend to enter & travel inside Iran, the only scenario that might work is:
1) you get Iran visa to enter on your PK passport;
2) you ride USA-registered bike to Turkey-Iran border or nearby city, e.g.
Van, Turkey.
3) you find & leave USA-registered bike in some secure storage in Turkey;
4) you enter Iran and travel inside Iran by alternate public transporation, e.g. bus, taxi or train; returning to wherever you left USA-registered bike.
5) I don't know all the alternate transportation mode details, but I'm quite sure you can also fly or train from Van, Turkey into Iran and return to Turkey;
see, e.g., Turkish Airlines - TK - International Home Page, and Trains Turkey <&mdash;> Iran.

Great help. i appreciate you guys helping me out here.

have any of you ever heard about Mr. Hossein?
Iran Overland :: Travel to Iran Tabriz

ive heard he helps you get the CDP at the Irani Boarder

ive talked to him a few times and seems like he will be very help full.

as i stated before, if i have to get a CDP for Iran, i cant do the trip as i dont have enough money. i have to either cancel the plan and do it in maybe 5-8 years. or just go right now try to get CDP at border, if i cant then try to change the route. or third option would be to ship the bike somewhere else.

any thoughts on

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
