Hi I traveled a similar route in 2009 to what you have planned. if I can give you just one piece of advice . DO NOT take the GS. Just watch the long way round videos to see these guys struggling with the weight and complaining every time they get to some interesting riding. I took a Yamaha xt600 ( and traveled with a xr650l and ktm 640 adventure) which is a lot lighter yet even this proved to be a bit heavy at times.
Top trip you will love it.enjoy
