A friend and I went about 8 years ago on Triumph Spriints, we were told en route by GS owners they were totally the wrong bike. We got down to the Erg's near Merzouga in the Sahara to get a photo (stopped when the sand got deep!), rode around Morrocco for 7 days, only one gravel road if my memory serves me well, great time had by all.
Unless your going riding in the sand then it'll be fine, its only if you're doing serious off road you need an adventure bike IMHO (and the GS12 doesn't count as one of them)
