I’m sorry to say it again, but GET LESSONS. More than the minimum.
In South America you’re not going to want to do those speeds unless you just want to go on a main paved highway, blast from one side to the other without seeing anything, and then call it a day.
A 150 is plenty, and used by locals.
Seriously, go watch those channels I mentioned. If you prefer to read, then try “Lois on the Loose”, she did the tip of Alaska to the bottom of South America on a 225cc trail bike.
Having a big fast bike does nothing to help safety. I’ve had bikes from a 70cc step-through up to a 175hp liter bike. Right now the bike I use most for touring in Spain and Morocco is a 125cc trail bike with 10hp (though I have a 400cc bike for commuting / motorway / pillion use).
If you’re willing to learn, you can craft yourself an amazing adventure that you’ll remember for the rest of your life … I try and give good advice, because that sort of motorbike touring is something I love and I wish I could share it with more people :-)
Amazing, everything you just said was wrong.

Thanks for the recommendations and for sticking up on me xD. Yeah as you can still I have a lot to learn
