hey dude
just done about half of that trip,why dont you go to the horizons meet at tintaldra ,i ,doing a talk on my trip there from canada to colombia ,lots of other guys worth talking to about bike travel, yes you may start with the idea of self cooking etc but not worth it ,eating out is cheaper if you eat local food, and yes fuel aint cheap after mexico ,and backpackers are not common but hotels are cheap ,depends if you want to live like a hermit ,or socialise ,plety of travellers to go out with on the way i mixed it up a bit you can prolly find a travel ready bike if you start looking ,drz ,not a bad choice ,most popular bike for this trip is a klr 650, as they are cheap as chips in the states and you can get heaps of travel shit for them,i got mine for $1800
