Pete, can I seriously suggest you consider hiring a bike.
Considering your time constraints and your lack of gear and the very real possibility that you won't sell the bike in one week at the end of your trip - I would very strongly reccomend that you look at hiring.
Suzuki GS500 Hire
These guys have a Suzuki 500 for $605 per week and for 5 weeks I reckon Mark might give you a better deal. This INCLUDES helmet, jacket and gloves and no insurance or re-registration worries.
I can lend you some Oxford panniers if you like.
Also TravellingStrom is right - go North young man!
