I'm not limited to time. I have the luxury to ride untill I run out of money. I will have a slow pace because I would like to experience each country. I don't wanna have the feeling that when I'm back home again that I didn't see each country properly and missed out.

That is the plan. With a wife and kids, there is only so much time I like to be gone. Luckily I have some flexibility (from a loving wife), but sometimes I just make tracks anyway. I do enjoy moving more slowly most of the time, though.
I have had my DR650 for a couple of years now and have been making mods all along with an eye towards some of these longer trips. It now has a Safari Tank, and better suspension front and back. A windshield, 60csx, wider footpegs, voltage meter, procycle jet kit, k&N filter. I am using wolfman softlugage and some tankpanniers as well. I keep trying to shave off more weight. My battery is going to need replacing before I go and I am thinking of going with a Shorai and save a few more pounds.
