you don't "really need" any of it, including the 1200gs,
i place the emphasis on need. rtws have been done on all sorts of bikes from 110cc right up through the bike range.
people travel with a back pack strapped to their bike with just their clothes in it.
you don't need any of the Touratech stuff you mentioned but it should may make life easier for you. but there are cheaper companies producing good products if you don't care about the brand name. mind you i think you do have a bit too much stuff on that bike.
i prefer to carry less then more. i can usually buy anything i don't have, but find it hard to ditch perfectly good items i don't really need.
my next trip will likely be a klr or dl 650 a set of hard panniers a tank bag (for the expensive stuff) and then a tent and sleeping mat on the back.
