I'm a die hard Honda fan. But I'd recommend a Kawasaki KLR650. Surf the web. You won't read one bad word about it.

You didn't say where you're starting from, but if you're planning a trip from the mainland USA (lower 48) to Alaska, then you're going to want a bike that has some good highway speed as well as off-road capability . I'd suggest you check out the proven world-wide champion of dual sport motorcycles... BMW!
While my top choice for a long-distance dual sport motorcycle would be the BMW R1200GS Adventure, they also offer a very capable bike in the 650cc range... the F650GS. Check out the Dakar model at this web site...
