Guten Tag
Whilst it would not be everybody`s choice do consider a smaller bike. These tend to use less fuel and are usually lighter.
Also consider what bikes are already in the area you are going to.
I think it would be a brave traveller who would set off on a Ural/Dneiper but do consider a MZ 250. These are cheap to buy and can last for years if cared for. With decent tyres and an enclosed chain this could reduce fears of breakdown. The downside is the need for two stroke oil, but any oil can be used and should be available throughout the old USSR.
Good luck and do post to tell us which bike you went for and about your trip.
