Someone will undoubtedly be along shortly to tell you that you should only attempt RTW with an older, simpler bike. But with the Internet, a helpful dealer back home and Fedex I would happily depart tomorrow.
Given the huge numbers of these on the roads, there will always be horror stories, but the vast majority of owners don't have major problems and would quite readily buy another one. I had 48,000 miles on my 12GS before trading for a 12GSA which now has 16,000 miles.
Your best source of info on this bike is the 1200GS forum on ukgser: 1200 GS - ::. UKGS'er.com .::
