Don't forget to take lots of Euros & US dollars for when you cross the borders or countries with no ATM's around.
Have a great journey!!!

Which reminds me of the suggestion to carry the details of a good reputable dealer for your particular bike near your home (and maybe speak with someone there beforehand, so they know you personally). Then, if you need spares sending out to you in the back of beyond, you know someone to order them from (all this assumes that you can't get spares in country).
As a thought, you can carry less cash until you are about to leave Europe and then draw cash from the ATMs - but you will have a daily allowance on your account and you may have to do this over a few days, or make an arrangement with your bank first.
There is a recent thread in here by "camtracy" in Iran who got money sent to an Iranian bank from his bank in the UK at short notice, when he noticed that his plastic was not accepted in Iran.
