hello
when you go to senegal/mali/mauritanie i would say 8 weeks should be okay.
we did senegal/gambia/mali this summer (return to holland also) with a car in 6 weeks but that is a little bit short.
when you only go senegal/mauritanie then 5-6 weeks will be fine.
you can go one way and ship back the bike. but i don't have information about that.
your route will depend on how many time you have.
paperwork (for a car, motorcycle i don't know) is not that difficult for these countries. You don't need a carnet or something in advance so that is not a problem. you will need your passport! the other things you can arrange at the borders. insurances, visas, laissez passer etc you can arrange at the borders. so when your bike is prepared you can go.
