Just to add a bit to your maths....
The Nitron will be changeable on to your next bike for a charge of £100 so you won't lose it when/if you sell.
I can't see how any of your mods will increase your insurance? It's not as if you're sticking a turbo on it! :eek Why would a more expensive and powerful bike be cheaper to insure?
Have you factored in the depreciation you'll suffer on the newer bike? Vehicles, at some point in their lives, reach a basement price before some start rising again as classics. I'd suggest yours is at or in the basement so you aren't going to have the depreciation to contend with, just the loss on some of your parts.
Incidentally, before going on your planned trip check the front sprocket to make sure you can delay the chain and sprockets change.
