Here is the latest Carnet info, I was wrong, it doesnt come from the AA but the RAC. I live in Belgium so I had to do it through the Belgian equivalent of the RAC.
Here are the costs of the carnet - http://www.rac.co.uk/pdfs/driving-abroad...rices.aspx
Flicking through and making a quick calculation it looks like you'll have to pay £190 for the Carnet (non refundable), RAC deposit of £350 (refundable) and now the tricky bit, your bikes value. I would recommend that you value it at £1000, thats the minimum value you can declare. So £1000 x 500% (thats for Iran), then 10% of that figure = £500, you get half of that back.
£190+£350+£500 = £1040 to pay upfront.
£600 refunded on return of the Carnet so the true cost of the Carnet is £440.
Add to that about £90 for the cost of the Iranian visa.
Iran isnt cheap to get into but out of all the countries I have visited, I would go back in a heartbeat!
