I have done a lot of travelling on both the GS and G/S and will say in their day both were well up to the task. I did big mileages on both of mine 175,000 on the GS and 195,000 on the G/S using both on long trips until I sold them both needing a lot of work.
With good preparation either will still be capable but with quit high fuel consumption compared to modern bikes and the increase globally of low emission zones which might exclude them or make using them expensive I would now use something more modern.
If you particularly want to use a vintage bike any airhead BMW would be a good choice.
