If you like riding your GSA then take your GSA. Simple as that. I rode my 1200GS through Central America in 2010 and what surprised me was being in California and being told - by people in the BMW motorcycle shop in LA - that My bike would suffer with the " shit gas they'll sell you down there" It seemed like no one there had been to Mexico probably due to the anti-Mexican hysteria broadcast constantly on TV.
If I listened to all the " advice" dished out by people who'd never been anywhere I wouldn't have set off on my trip in the first place. The internet has been wonderful for helping people but it also gives pice to all the negative comments as well.
People have travelled throughout the Americas on every type of vehicle. Take what you love and you'll love it.
And should you have a problem there are good BMW bike shops in Mexico City and Costa Rica - I know! I gave them both a visit and left them lots of Money!!
