I mostly coast just using the clutch, I only shift into N when I plan to slow down very much, because our bikes hate to get out of N over a certain (low) speed.
I turn off the engine if I plan to stop at the end of the coast, or O predict I can coast for long enough to be better off with using the starter than letting it idle. It's very hard to smoothly bumpstart Teresa, so I seldom do it.
I had no problem with engine off coasting so far, even though I've even done it downhills for more than 4km (2.5 miles) without starting.
My normal P&G routine doesn't include turning the engine off, though: motorcycles are very light compared to a car, and the aero drag is much worse, so my typical glide on a flat road is no longer than like 10 seconds.
