I've done solo, small groups of bikes, me and the wife or me and a mate on one bike and large groups. With the exception of the large group (which I hated and will never do again) they all work so long as you have an idea of what you what you want to do. I like a short solo trip at least a couple of times a year just to get away from everything.
As people are saying, on your own you'll meet more people. Some of them will be great, some will be total ****** and you won't be able to get away fast enough. There'll be days when you'll love just getting on the road and riding, there'll be others when you'll be the only bloke sat on his own in some bar. A lot of people say a group is better when there are bike problems. Personally I've found this is only true with another biker who's well matched in the way they deal with such things. I'd rather get on and fault find on my own that have some know-it-all watching what I do or a primadona throwing his toys about.
I'd suggest a shorter trip first to make sure you'll be happy, then go for it.
