Hello guys,
i have contacted the responsible ADAC-employee and he told me the following:
- the iranian trafficpolice has banned the use of motorcycles with more than 250ccm. Therefore you can probably enter Iran with your bike, but you arent allowed to use it. So if you gonna push your bike to Tehran you will probably be fine^^
- ADAC is in direct and intensive contact with its iranian counterpart on this matter. They are trying to get an explanation for this new regulation and are slightly optimistic that this new rule will be lifted in a short amount of time. He told me that there was a comparable regulation earlier ("entry with vehicles with more than 2500cc forbidden") that got revoked some weeks later.
- Furthermore ADAC told me that contacting the iranian embassy on that matter should be useless, because the embassies dont interfer/bother with customs/traffic-topics.
- "fun fact": According to ADAC this new regulation hast nothing to do with our beloved Trumpinator and his sensible politics. Sarcasm off
I will wait until and watch the ADAC site closely. If there is noch change i will probably have to cancel my Iran-Tour for this year and book the 350€ i have already paid for Visa under "i love international politics"
Greetings from Germany
