Hi insainwayne,
I'm in the final stages of planning for the same trip in reverse (south to north). We leave in 3 months. Aside from the logistical stuff like budget, time, shipping etc. we have just earmarked 'must see places' out of a lonely planet guide and then we'll just join the dots as we go. That isnt much help to you really, is it?!
What really did help us though (whisper it...) was another site called advrider dot com. There is a ride reports section that is truly a great resource with some amazing rides documented. Antontrax (who has posted on this thread and may be too humble to tell you himself) did a brilliant ride report called way out west (or something similar, cant remember exactly). It gives you a good flavour of all the countries you are likely to see. Be warned though that if you look at too many ride reports it may spoil your own journey!
Dont want to knock the HUBB, but the ride reports on the 'other site' are much more pleasant on the eye and tend to contain much more detail. Dont want to start an argument on this (not on this thread anyway), just pointing out what is a really useful resource.
PS - Antontrax: Thank you for a wonderful read!
