If the poster's aim is to ride in as straight a line as possible through Europe, Russia, and the USA, then I would suggest that four months is quite a lot of time to do it in.
Sounds like an expensive way to earn bragging rights down the pub.
I would also add a point about riding through countries as fast as possible, that no-one has yet mentioned. Rather than furthering your understanding and knowledge of different cultures and peoples, it's probably going to leave you with an image of them further from the truth than the one you'd have had if you'd just stayed at home.
I remember the first time I (briefly) saw Eastern Europe: "Wow, the houses are so shabby, the cars so old, everything so dirty; these must be really poor countries without any of the conveniences we take for granted in the west".
