Hi Rory,
It would certainly be doable if you have friends in either country and you can use their address to register the bike and use for insurance and storage. It would be easier to do it in Germany (if the bike is already on German plates) its also easier/cheaper/more fun to ride the bike back to Germany than taking a ferry to the UK for the Winters.
When you come to ride the Americas there are so many good trails to ride in North America that I would not want to be on a big bike, for South America our average daily speed was normally around 60 kmh - sometimes much slower, so a big heavy 1200 is a waste and limits where you can go - to a certain extent.
its a good excuse to have 2 (or more) bikes! or better still save money on shipping and buy bikes in the USA.
