If she comes along it'll have to become our trip - a 50:50 joint venture - rather than her just tagging along on something you've planned for yourself. That may change things somewhat for you. Otherwise it may work for a week or two until you have a difference of opinion.
That's going to mean her going through the itinerary, looking at it from her perspective and (most likely) making changes, some of which you may not like.
Trips together are always a game of give and take and you may feel you're giving more than your fair share but that's because you're the one that's put the work in so far. She'll be the one turning her life upside down at short notice and she'll have to feel it was worth it.
There are some practical considerations as well. Has she done any pillion riding? I have a friend who, some years ago, set off on a one month trip with his girlfriend who'd never gone further than the local pub on sunny summer evenings on a bike and they made it from London to Frankfurt before she decided she hated it and flew home. Best to find out this kind of thing beforehand because mid trip bust-ups never end well.
