por lo visto se acabó de momento entrar en Iran con motos de mas de 250cc y/o motos de origen americano.
Iran banishes motorcycles with more than 250cc.
On my request the german automobile club ADAC just confirmed that they got a letter from official Iranian side that from 2nd of August on no motorcycles with more than 250cc are allowed to enter the country.
No more details where available from the ADAC, but they are frantically investigating.
From other sources I got this picture: Seems to be an old law from 2005, which was ignored in this regard so far.
Cars with more than 2500 cc and all kinds of american brand vehicles are also affected by the ban.
For me it feels as if there are only bad news for motorcycle travellers for quite a while: The assaulted bicycle riders on the Pamir Highway recently. No more third liability insurance for non-americans because of the new data safety rules in the EU (DSGVO called in Germany). The very restrictive new rules since two years in Laos and Thailand. The extremly dangerous situation in Nicaragua and Venezuela, etc.
Makes me grateful that we could travel through all these countries on our RTW trip without trouble - at least regarding these aspects.
Hopefully there will be better days again for motorcycle vagabonds and other globetrotters!
