Your plan looks interesting to say the least! I am personally gonna try to do some more travelling in that region, buy a local scooter and go (but when, is yet unclear..!!) For me, Indonesia was just fantastic, but I did not even get to see a lot. I think it´ll just get better and better, once you really get off the beaten track.
To Borneo and Sulawesi (especially thru Borneo, on a sidecar)... that is going to be adventurous for sure. But then from Timor to the Moluccas, to Irian Jaya, to PNG. Haven´t even heard of anyone doing that on a bike, nevermind on a sidecar! Would really be interesting to hear, how this turns out (boat connections, etc).
Thailand to Burma to India/Bangladesh, well that probably ain´t gonna happen on your own bike... (but I´m not saying you shouldn´t give it a go at the border!)
Going to be one hell of an adventure even if you could only do half of that route you´ve drawn! Good luck on your trip, and I surely hope your bush-mechanic skills are up to this
