It's just a road, you can ride a Trail 90, a GSXR-1000 or a Goldwing to Alaska. I'm just an inch taller than your height, not sure where that fits in the grand scheme of things but I always tell everyone to set their bike up so it's comfortable for them. I have very short friends that scoot off the seat and touch a toe down and tall friends that lower their bikes so they can flat foot. If you are feeling less than confident on your bike, get a lowering link.
I ran the Mitas E07 tires, I guess they have changed the magic compound since then? Anyway, I rode from San Diego to Alaska, then hit up the Dempster Hwy on the way back. Crossed the border and visited my parents in MN and changed the rear at that point (about 10,000 miles). I crossed to the Atlantic and then picked my way back to CA and ended with 17,000 miles and still had the original front tire.
I camped almost exclusively on my trip. Very easy to do in the west part of the USA, very easy to do everywhere in Canada and Alaska. Gas was never a worry anywhere, except for the first section of the Dempster (250 miles). I always primitive camped, didn't pay to camp once on the way up and only one time on the way back out of Canada.
TOW = Top Of the World Highway, recommend you ride that at least once.
Let me know if you need more info.
