I have to admit I'm not speaking from personal experience here, but I'm not sure that spending big money on a specialist bike and equipment isn't unneccassary and counter productive.
I met plenty of cyclists whilst in Central Asia, many of them doing China/India to the UK. A few were quite vocal about their choice of a simple and cheap bike.
Certainly in the spectrum of motorcycles I'd be pretty confident of asserting that expensive specialist equipment is probably more of hinderance in the long run (more paranoid of it being nicked, and when it breaks harder to repair).
