I think the Americas would be a good choice. But you might want to consider starting in Canada and heading south if your time frame permits it vis a vis the weather patterns in the area. This way you can give the bike a good shakedown knowing there's a reasonably good network of BMW dealers throughout Canada and the USA in case you need some work. It'll also be easier to get new tires in the southern USA before you cross into Mexico. There are BMW dealers in Mexico and Central America but they seem to gradually become farther and farther apart. You'll also get used to travelling while not having to speak another language for a while.
Mexico is pretty tame and friendly as far as "foreign" countries go, so it would be a fairly soft landing at first ...as opposed to being plunked in the middle of a Spanish speaking country right from the start and staying immersed in that for the next several months.
Of course none that may matter to you if you're someone who thrives on sudden change :-)
