Thanks Snakeboy, I keep reading mixed messages about renting vs buying. I think I may have to play some of this by ear. Renting in every country might be a bit too time consuming and require a lot of strategizing. I couldnt just get to a border and drop off one bike, cross and rent another obviously. I think I would definitely lose time returning a rented bike to home base and then traveling from there.
I did mention 7 countries - but 5 is more accurate. I would likely just spend a couple of days in Singapore and cross into the tourist friendly zone in Burma for a day up north.
Renting seems like the way to go, just need to figure it out I guess and keep it to a minimum - perhaps one rental in Thailand and one in Vietnam (especially if I can go to Laos and Cambodia on a Vietnamese bike as I have been told.)
