Visa's: India - you will need and can get on the road. We got ours in Islamabad.
Bike third party Insurance: Buy at the border of most countries or, if the country isn't organised enough to have a booth selling it where you actually need it to start ie at the border eg India/Iran, you will have to take a chance and ride uninsured to the nearest town and buy it there.
Personal Insurance: Try Mike Berry, at Campbell Irvine
Will I get away with my UK registration Paperwork running out halfway through the trip? SORN your bike. It won't be a problem for the countries you are going through. There's lots of threads about this on the HUBB.
GreenCard, what is it and do I need one? Again, there's lots of threads about this on the HUBB. Briefly - you no longer get a physical green card - what the green card scheme means is that your UK 3rd party cover operates in any green card scheme member state (the EU plus a number of bordering countries). So you will be able to rely on your UK insurance through the EU and it may work in Turkey as well if Turkey is part of the Green Card scheme and I am not sure re Iran. Further east of these countries you will need to buy 3rd party insurance on entry as described above.
Good luck!
