You gentleman are correct, the route is quite ambitious. I will likely have to carve morocco or Russia out of my itinerary and incorporate it into another trip. I want to be ready for it all, however, so I am unrestricted. I have a regular ol' corporate drone job so vacation time has its limits unfortunately.
Given North America is not as complicated border/licensing wise as Europe and the roads are generally more consistent in quality, I made it to Fairbanks, Alaska in 11 days from Texas; about 5500 miles/8800 km's (on a sport bike with no touring mods). That included two flat tires in very remote areas and having to back track 300 miles for parts while in Utah. I do not plan to duplicate that pace but I do enjoy covering a lot of ground. If I didn't have to come back for work, I'd spend two months.
Thanks for the tips so far, I am optimistic.
