A turbo charged hayabusa would be more appropriate for this kind of trip... at least you could "fly over" the holes on the roads :D

Shanghai-Beijing 1350 kilometers, that's the direct distance that the high speed train goes. Probably more like 1500 kilometers in 13 hours, on Chinese highways? There's red lights, cars pulling out of junctions without looking shut roads without signed diversions...euphonius how long did it take you? At least 24 hours of continual riding? Or more?
Seriously I've never heard quite so much nonsense in all my life.

The discussion seems to heat up
To be honest, your plan sounds beyond reality, more like a child's dream. A few clicks on GM all over the world doesn't necessarily make a travel plan, particularly not if you ride off to set a world record
Tick "avoid highways" in your China Google map route and see the mileage go up - or are bike allowed on xpwys nowadays? Have you considered the occasional closed road, a wrong turn which results in dozens of additional kilometers or the motorbike ban in many Chinese cities? Have you thought about a flat tire on your invincible bike? - apparently not.
Have you ever carefully investigated about the documents you will need for your (illegal?) bike to cross from China into Kazakhstan? Did you consider it may take a day, or two, or more? - seems you haven't.
Couldn't find any days scheduled for maintenance in your itinerary. Chain and sprockets will probably need replacement and so will tires, which aren't waiting for you just anywhere. Also, don't forget that Kazhak roads may rip your lovely bike apart
Good luck with your highly ambitious undertakingAndy
