Ok ill try and help with my limited knowledge, im half way through riding from Nepal to Europe myself.
Ok, in Pakistan you can only take the Sost border (china), the border to Iran (cant remember its name) or the famous border with India near Amritsa (the name escapes my tired mind). Wagur Maybe?
So entering Tajikistan or Afghanistan from Pakistan isn't an option for a foreigner. Neither can you take the border from China to Tajik, its for trucks only basically.
KKH-Kashgar (china)-Tourgat pass into Kyrgyzstan is not only your best option because you can ride into Tajik and do the Pamir and from there visit Afghan (the Waglin Corridor maybe?) but also because riding the KKH ****ing rocks. It just does.
The cost sucks but if you find a group you can get the cost down to about 1100 USD. And as a small conciliation, this also includes nice hotels.
As for shipping, maybe 1000 USD? but you will miss the KKH, Kyrgyzstan, and the Pamir highway, which have been the three highlights of my trip. Dont do it. You'll kick yourself. Look at the photos passingtimewithpenny.tumblr.com if you need any more proof!
Please excuse the terrible spelling, im knackered, and looking for new sprockets! Email me if you want better, more coherent information.
