Hi Wayne.
As you are aware already some countries are more expensive than others.
The most expensive are Brasil, Chile, Argentina. Ecuador & Venezuela are the cheapest for fuel.
On our travels we budget around 1000 GBP per person per month. This is sleeping in our camper every night, cooking ourselves, BUT we do all activities we want and visit all sites no matter the cost. Fuel is however our biggest cost (in a camper van) may be cheaper for you biker folk!
I think 700 per month should be adequate as long as you keep track of your money and are savvy with where you buy food, sleep etc.
Remember nothing in South America is the price the people ask for it!
I would ensure your mode of transport is as serviced as possible and at its best mechanical condition. Mechanics are the worst for jacking the prices when they see that you are desperate.
We have done our budget for central america.. Prices are roughly similar
