On a trip like this you will push the odds in your favour if you keep to a simple and solid designed bike.
Bikes like the Transalp, XT600E ( not the new, fuel injected model ) or even a Suzuki GS500/Yamaha Diversion 600. ( The latter are air cooled, so even less to worry about - and both have very, very strong engines ).
To be fair, most modern fuel injected bikes should be reliable for ages - but if you have problems with the computers you MUST find a dealer to help. You will be using awful petrol from time to time.....
Keep this in mind if you are considering a BMW.
