Then go over to ADV Rider (Thumpers section) look up the 640 ADV specific threads over there. Some VERY comprehensive ones by guys who have been dedicated to this bike for ages. A TON of knowledge.
Look up a Canadian guy on ADV Rider (Gunnerbuck) He knows the 640's very well. Don't read too much ... or you may never go on your trip. Not ALL news is good news regards this bike!
I love the 640's ... to ride, but not so much to own or to travel on. But if you deal with all the common issues, carry spares and know your ins and outs of the bike ... you should be fine! 
Safe Travels!
