Steve...i'd choose a cheap bike and ride it for 2 years before you embark on the trip. That way you become more familiar with the bike mechanically, etc...
As much as I'd like to refer you to a Jap bike as they make some amazing machines, unfortunately most of their 750s aren't sold in NA...so old BMW F650 or 1993 K75 s or c...
Also keep in mind the following costs...
1. You will spend 50-75 per day for gas, food and camping...minimum.
2. Riding gear($1000 jackets, pants, boots, gloves, etc.)
