Went to Central America in '97 on a R1100GS. Prior to leaving(had same concern) I put on after market exhaust(no cat converter) and just unplugged/removed the oxygen sensor. Worked fine except when you roll off the throttle you keep getting fuel and can get some loud "pops" from exhaust. Got some attention in Honduras... Turns out there WAS unleaded in CA. No mobil 1 however. Still have the R1100, but its a heavey bike for that type of traveling.
