I agree Mitch, see my post #14 above. Just basic A to B transport would be best, (IMO), low cost ... and should be govt. subsidized like most transport is worldwide. Keep the service small, fast and agile.
For your trip this Summer ... this is what I would do (of course, YMMV!)
Since leaving in June you would be in Mexico/Cent. America in the HOTTEST and WETTEST time of the year.

I would SKIP all this and get to Miami and either fly or ship your bikes to Colombia. There is service.
Bite the bullet, pay the cost. Maybe even book a R/T? Selling off bikes can be complex ... or you could get lucky.
This would put you in Colombia with better weather and lots of time.
Perhaps take your 4 months and explore Colombia, Ecuador, Peru', Bolivia or possibly Venezuela? Or any combo of those?
Colombia alone could keep you busy exploring for at least a month or more. Same with Ecuador. Lots to do and see, great riding from high Altiplano to coastal low lands, fun historic Cities to interesting beaches, sub tropical jungles and more. Both ON and OFF road riding, even guided off road tours, very doable, even for novice dirt bike riders.
Just a thought ... good luck!
