Hallo Simon!
I dit it last year from Guatemala into mexiko! It was no Problem at all, i went through the riverroute whats most popular beetween Tikal and Palenque and the only little problem you will may be have by getting of the bike on the Guatemalan side, but don't worry the lokals will help you!
You have to but the bike on one of those boats but don't worry they are more than a meter wide so its no problem at all, you can but it also on the sidestand and walk around on the small boat! I crossed also once the Senegal Rivr on a Canu, but that was just 50cm wide and it worked as well!
Don't worry i payed last year 35 Pesos to cross the river for the short distance (only five minits, but you will have a hard time to get off or you a really good driver, without your boxes and lot of praxis on Off Road not a big Problem, but very steep and it haves to be dry), into Guatemala i would take the longer boattrip down the river, its easy to get of the boat!
If you take the short botride don't forget to get your passport stamped after about 10 km you have to turn left and go back to the river, there you will find it!
It's a great way and not many people do it!
Enjoy it!
Appie
