Hello Srinivas,
You're a brave man, and you will prevail. Some people have walked around the world, others have bicycled, and still others have taken little mopeds around like yours. So have no fear, but bring money, good money,lots of money, best US$$$. Try getting the most difficult visas first: Most difficult: China, exact itinerary is essential. Next: Russia, again exact dates of entry and exit are required. See a travel agent and the embassies of the two countries. Once you have arranged these two, you can work on the other visas. Get as many visas as you can before leaving home. On the road a visa may take as long as a month to come through. So start working. Read everything you can get hold of on the countries you are planning to visit.
Good luck!!!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
