Don't know much about Korea, but you usually need a Carnet for Japan (unless arriving by ferry). From Japan, it is cheaper to go via Sakhalin island than Vladivostok. DBS, the Korean ferry company that operates the Japan-Korea-Vladivostok route, is now very expensive. 
I don't think you can ride motorcycles on expressways in Korea. You can in Japan (even though it is a bit expensive).

No problem unless you break down and are waiting for parts. It it took me less than 2 weeks back in 2003 before the highway was done. Maybe it will take longer if local motorcycle clubs catch you and provide so much hospitality that you don't want to leave. 
This says you can do it in 60 hours (probably not practical to ride 60 hours non stop though) АТИ: ГРУЗОПЕРЕВОЗКИ, ПЕРЕВОЗКИ, ГРУЗЫ, АВТОПЕРЕВОЗКИ
