Eyre Highway.
Some good advice on this thread.
I have ridden across 14 times now and have never found it boring.
Certainly give February a miss. If you did cross at that time of year you would need a cool down vest and well vented riding gear. Don't forget a hydration pack to wear on your back and keep sipping every 10 mins, don't wait utill you are thirsty to drink. Dehydration seriously affects you judgment and concentration, not good.
Again I have ridden the great central on my BMW 1100GS more than once without issues. You need permits to ride the great central, one from WA and one for the NT section. Wild camping on Abouriginal land is forbidden. Some sort of emergency communication is a must, e.g. a tracking device so someone can keep an eye on you or an emergency beacon.
Both of these rides will if you have not experienced remote rides be an adventure. Research, research prepare and ENJOY. Wish I could join you, I expect to be overseas then on the bike.
