3000 dollars will probably extend your holiday about 20 days!
the 190 has a kickstart and an electric start, maybe important, although push starting isn't hard.
Most locals have small bikes and don't seem to be too worried.
Mark seems to be incorrect or misinformed, there is no way that you could ride at 5000 metres for days on end! Take the abra del Acay, you are below 5000 metres and the highest stretch is probably 15 kms long, falling in altitude inmediately on either side.
So you may have one or two slow moments in your trip but don't let the altitude worry you, specially as both bikes are fuel injected.
PS you might find it impossible to sleep at altitudes higher than 4500 metres yet alone ride for days on end at above 5000
