Rtw,
The ride in general is quite varied. Ruta 5 after La Serena can get pretty boring, but Ruta 1 makes up for it. The Argentina ride might be better, but I won't know for sure for a couple months. Overall I've enjoyed the ride and the places I've stopped for a while.
My plan for now is to wait out the colder months in northern Chile or Peru, and go back down towards Patagonia via Bolivia and Argentina. I'm on an xr125l, which is slow but perfect for my needs and budget. Again, let me know if you've got other questions!
