Central America is varied enough that ANY bike will do. I don't know much about that bike but I have seen people on Harleys in certain parts of Central America. The main issue you'll face is the fact that this style of bike might limit you to the beaten path. The main roads in Central America vary from excellent to fair but all can be ridden on just about any bike. Construction zones tend to be a lot rougher than back home and you'll need to be more careful. The biggest challenge I can foresee is the topes (speed bumps) which were very obviously designed by a sadist with a twisted sense of humour.
Be prepared to bottom out, especially in Mexico. Also be prepared for topes/tumulos not always being marked. My record is flying over one of them at 110km/h.
Also check out the Harley dealer network to see where you'll be able to get service or repairs if needed. It's not a Harley thing but the fact that "large" bikes (anything over 125cc) is quite rare down there. Even my 650 was considered "big".
