Motorcycle transport by train in Turkey
 

We're planning a trip from Germany to central asia and are thinking about going from Istanbul to Kars by train - if it is possible to have our bike carried in the train with us.

--> Does anybody have any experience in this or any information?

...would be very happy :-)

Best greetings from cold old Germany...

Dear Friedo,
I visited this region several times and as I also did not want to ride both ways, I always send the bike by truck from Germany / Ulm to Georgia / Tiblisi.
In Georgia you are in the centre, you can visit on a short way Turkey, Armenia, Iran an Russia. You safe a lot of time and there are cheap flights from Germany to Tiblisi or vice versa available.
For getting closer information about the transport please do it via KTM Georgia Enduro GEORGIA
Best regards
