Not to wade into the helmet debate, but for a 6000 mile trip in all conditions, an investment in a high quality full face or modular helmet will be your best investment. If the fit is right, a Schuberth C3 or Shoei Neotec would give you great relief form the breeze, and with earplugs, a quiet and minimal buffeting ride. Add on a modest windshield (lots of options here on the site) and you'd likely enjoy a safe, quiet and comfortable journey.
