mad?
Are you mad for planning this?
NO
There are many stories around on the internet of people who have done just what you say. If you are a happy traveller already then I don't see any problems what so ever with your planned trip. You will soon pick up your bike skills, over time while riding, there is no better way. The only extra issues you will encounter is the various red tape involved in moving a vehicle across borders etc... None of it is difficult really. Just do you research before hand. All the info is available on this forum, make good use of the "search" function ( top right)
Some advice:
Don't worry about stuff that probably won't happen.
Take what you need (not what you want)
Travel light ( you have probably done that)
Don't try riding a huge bike over rough terrain, smaller is better.
Tyres matter. on road or off road.
Tank range matters.
Read some trip reports on here and other forums for the areas you plan to visit. Have a look at Paul Pitchfork's blog he covered some of your route. link here > HORCA MOTO | MOTORCYCLES – ADVENTURE – LIFE
Good luck with the test. Enjoy your trip
