I see motorcycle adventure videos almost every day (i´ve two bikes and i love travelling ), but this is one of the most pure and beautiful videos in this category that I´ve ever seen! why? Because of the lanscap (the entire video), the humor (Kyrgyzs fauna and flora), it as a sense of raw purity (no music in the driving parts) and there´s a plus: the fact that are no BMWs on it ; ) Congrats....
Thanks for your kind words! I do have to dissapoint you though: there is a BMW GS visible at 9:04. We met up with two fully kitted riders, spare tires and everything. Their setup was way too bulky to go the places we went. On gravel they were easy to overtake (as shown). However, for long distances, they were probably more comfy ;) A good tip they gave was to have new tires shipped to places you'll visit before you leave if you're doing a longhaul trip.
Thx for amasing moments watching this magnificent well prepered video. Thx alot for the valuble info in the video and in the comments and answer. Take good care my felow rider.. thaks for sharing it all😊😊😊
What an amazing place and scenery! Inspirational watch your video. I also have an Xt600e here in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro and I have a lot of fun with this bike. Good roads, my friend!
What an amazing adventure in a beautiful part of the world. I always wonder how you find fuel in these remote areas and how you manage navigation thank you for sharing your fantastic ride
Thanks Peter. Honestly, navigation wasn't that hard. We used OpenstreetMap on a Garmin and a good oldfashioned map. Most of the time there were so few roads it wasn't that hard to decide which way we SHOULD go. The hardest part was knowing where we COULD go. Ask locals and/or the guides at Muztoo or Iron Horse Nomads in Bishkek. When we improvised like at 17:09 is when it got tough. Fuel was harder, but again, openstreetmap helped and we never ran into closed pumps. Be sure to get extended range tanks as we did, because it could take a day before there is a convenient one.
That whole mountain range is amazing: picture taken somewhere here: www.google.nl/maps/place/Kirgistan/@41.2349413,76.2555297,13z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x3897381dfce927f3:0x281058b74e88c433!8m2!3d41.20438!4d74.766098
Wow guys super machtig avontuur.. ik heb het wel 3* bekeken! Jaloers dat ik er niet bij was.. moet lukken Kyrgyzstan is een van mijn to go plaatsen.. staat op mijn plan voor 2023 of 2024. kan ik ergens aan jullie track geraken? Bedankt voor deze machtige video over jullie 12 dagen ginder en de info over de bikes en GPS openstreet maps.. super tip. JP van België
Hoi JP. Bedankt voor je bericht! Kyrgyzie is zeker de moeite waard. Zeer betaalbaar (behalve de motorhuur) en prachtige omgeving. Helaas hebben we geen track bijgehouden, want ons schema bepaalden we dag-tot-dag. Er zijn ook niet zoveel wegen, dus een wegenkaart kopen en dan de kleinere (maar niet de kleinste) wegen volgen werkt goed. Je kan het beste eens contact opnemen met Ryan van Iron Horse in Bishkek, die helpt je graag bij je route en het bepalen van highlights
Hello! Thanks for the video. :) My name is Brunno Amâncio, I am from the city of Niterói, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Although I am 43 years old, I started driving a short time, a little over 1 year. Currently I own a Yamaha XT 600E, year 2000. And with this motorcycle I intend to carry out a trip, which on the way includes lots of sand and / or lots of mud. I'll go all over the highway. Transamazônica (BR 230), and the BR 319 (ghost highway) and the BR 163 highway. Can you give me some tips on which off-road tires I can use?
We rented from Iron Horse, but got them from Muztoo's depot so in our case it wouldn't have mattered which. It's expensive, since there are no locals who ride motorcycles like this. 85 USD/day. Fuel was inexpensive, but I'm not sure. Something like 42 KGS (0.5 USD) per liter? It didn't really compare at all.
Hi Hashem, Kyrgyzstan is very beautiful. We've done this trip in June. Earlier than that and passes will be inaccessible due to snow. I would suggest going between July - Aug. You'll probably see more flowers as well, which should be beautiful with this much grassland. The company that supplied the bikes is Muztoo, based in Osh. Basically the only place to rent bikes in all Kyrgyzstan. His partnering company in Bishkek: Iron Horse Nomads is supposed to get his own bikes this year. Don't expect immaculate bikes. They have luxury bikes (new Tenere), but you don't really need that much bike there. As for the route: almost all the secondary roads are great. The route we followed here goes along many of the major scenic routes. It's a good outline of where to go. Just pause the movie if it goes by too fast. Be careful though, if you go early not all roads will be open. Check locally. Paperwork was easy; but we're European. Check with customs there if you can get a VISA easy. I would advise to learn some russian, but it's doable without. Have a great trip! Feel free to ask me specifics
Bart Wesdorp ...Thanks for the very helpful info. I did the Himalaya lake ladak trip last year and I was thinking of doing a Mongolia trip this year. Changed my mind after seeing your video to Kyrgyzstan. Will get in touch with bike rental company you mentioned and start planning to go on July. .Thanks again..
We rented from ironhorsenomads.com based in Bishkek. Ryan has great customer service. Back then, he relied on Muztoo.ch based in Osh for his bikes, so we basically rented theirs. Our initial batch was bad, so Ryan helped us travel down to the depot in Osh to pick up replacements
Hi Firoz, are you asking about the camera? that's mainly a Gopro Hero 3 Black , with a few clips made with an iPhone and one or two with a Sony RX 100. Hope that helps!
Молодцы, повидали прекрасные места!
What an amazing place ....and a fabulous video to show it .....well done to all involved.
Классно покатались ребята.
I am from Kyrgystan.
You live in a beautiful country, Perec!

Sorry, I don't know what tires were on these bikes anymore. You can probably find good info over at advrider.com
Heat video. Looks like a trip of a life time. Would you mind if I asked the cost of renting the bikes? And cost to fill up the tank.

amazing trip, do you have a website with information on the route, best time to go, bike rental company, paper work..etc..thanks
