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

Kito your are very welcome to give any advice as it will be very useful leading up to the trip,,,,,,I have looked at this and asked myself what would be the best bike,, the off road you are absolutely right but that's just a small part and I can only take one bike and a 1150 wins as the distance is a big factor and the 1150gs will win hands down on that,
I no a few guys that has decided to have there bikes shipped to magadan in a container 2014 then ride around for a month then send it bake, if I was doing it like that I would have my ccm 404 sent with out a doubt
