Lots of people have ridden around the world on crusiers. It doesn't matter what you ride, it just matters that you go!
WHERE you go will be determined partly by what you ride and partly by your determination.
Ride what YOU like to ride, and be prepared to change your mind as your choice of places to ride changes. Personally I wouldn't ride a cruiser across the Sahara - but I'm sure someone has done it!
If Sjaak Lucassen can ride a Honda CBR900RR Fireblade AND a Yamaha R1 (second trip) around the world, including through the worst of Africa, I'm sure a cruiser can do it. Doris Maron is riding a Honda cruiser around the world, and she's doing fine.
GENERALLY a dual-purpose bike is EASIER for rtw trips, IF you want to go off-road and into the back country. You DO NOT need it.
Less concern about WHAT people ride and more about "just doing it" would be more to the point.
