CBR250R is what I would suggest. After buying please spend some time learning about the bike and how to resolve minor issues.
But if you plan to do the ride right after buying a bike then go for a Pulsar 220 as you already have experience with a pulsar before.

He wants you to share your experience on SS

Back to your original question on GQ; buy a bike if you want to, but not specifically for GQ; you're not going to GQ everyday!!!

Any vehicle that is capable of running about 7000 Kms should be able to do GQ comfortably; to me its more of the rider than the ride; since you've done SS & BB, there should be nothing stopping you to do GQ.

You'll be able to do about 600 Kms everyday easily & keep aside about 11-12 days & this is all you need. Not a new bike!!! Ofcourse a reliable bike.
