WANTED: Bike in Uzbekistan, Kyrgistan, or Kazakstan approx April

I am planning a trip through the 'stans and back to Europe starting approximately April and am looking for something that will make the trip. I'm pretty flexible on place (preferably Tashkent, Bishkek, or Almaty) and the type of bike.

I would also appreciate any ideas that anyone might have on how to get a bike. I'm not finding much information on the web.
Thanks.

As in most countries, you'll need a permanent address to register it to, though. You may also find getting insurance challenging if you don't have a local licence. But try these guys:

What passport are you traveling with and where is your address?

I have both US and Panama passports, so whichever works is what I use. I have a nephew living in Tashkent, so I could probably use his address for registering the bike.

Thanks for any ideas.

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.
