1 year motorbike trip starting in Chili

Hello everybody,

Together with my girlfriend we're planning a trip around the world. We're dreaming and thinking about it for many years and now we decided to just do it. The initial plan is to leave the Netherlands in september, fly to Chili Santiago and buy 2 motorbikes over there, probably something like the Honda tornado XR250 or the Honda XR400 Falcon. After buying two bikes we want to travel to Patagnonia Torres del Paine National Park.
After Patagonia we would like to travel north trough Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Equador (Galapagos), Colombia and maybe after that continue further to Alaska if we still feel like traveling and traveling and driving we might continue further east to Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece and so on. I was thinking to do it in 12 months.

The plan is to start the journey in September 2016

The plan is to travel lightweight, we will bring a tent, sleeping gear and some gear to cook. And just the basic stuff you need.

-We traveled before but not like this, is this a realistic plan?
-Any advice for the route?
-Is it possible to buy 2 motorbikes and drive them to Europe? (paper wise)
-Is the jump from Alaska to Russia still possible?
-What will the price be for the 2 bikes? New and secondhand?

If someone got any recommendations, advice, tips or information about everything and anything for this journey we will be happy to hear it.

Thank you for your help

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
