I think it really depends upon your financial situation.

You hit is spot on, the 250 will make the trip, the 650 will make it better. And now is the time to buy a bike, spring is the time to sell one. The question is "is it worth it to spend $4,000 on a bike for one trip" Only you can answer that, how much trouble will you have selling the bike when you are done before you head to Asia? How much money will you lose in the process?

Would you be better off just renting a bike for the trip?

And you said ride to the East Coast, did you mean West Coast, Ottawa doesn't look that far from the east coast.
