All sounds very sensible and doable to me. 6 months and £10,000, certainly possible.
I bought my bike in Alaska and started in July (2010) I was in Baja California by November and Panama by January. Many people moved faster than me, few slower.
You'd need to be south of Canada by October at the latest. If I was you I'd think of starting in August in California/Oregon do the western third of the US (amazing scenery and National Parks.)Get to Mexico around late Oct/ November. It's cooler then. You''ll probably get rain but be at the end of the hurricane season. You don't want to be in Central America before October.
If you're planning on going south of Panama into Colombia etc then the latest you can get a boat is December I think ( although you can always fly)
Many people cover the US all the way down to Argentina in 6 months. personally I think that's too quick. You'll miss a lot. Why not go slower, see more and leave South America for another time?.
