And to add, I think South America is getting more popular in general in recent years. This has to do with the fact that this style of overland travelling (a lot of times in a car, here come the #vanlife people!) is getting more popular in the US, where people want to drive to Argentina for example.
And with a motorbike, I guess it is much easier (okay, let me just say cheaper) to ship it to South America and go riding there. With a car very doable as well. But the cost soon add up to some amount for which you could easily do a Central Asia roundtrip for up to half a year.
I am looking forward to exploring South America one day, and I even see it as something inevitable 
But I would not have want to missed Asia with all its colors and diversity. Also quite a fan of the old Islamic architecture and deserts, that helps.
