I totally agree with Ted and I would also choose the 650.
He needs to make some more modifications for Africa and you know all of them very well.
Take care

Hi Samy
well i told hem already ,honda XR 650 ,
is the bike i will take ,
because
- easy to fix no high tech
- you don't need lots of parts to take with -comparing with the big beemer
-easy to left
- nothing going to break when you drop it (stopped counting how many i dropped my Africa twin on cape town Cairo trip )
-comparing to GS 1200 its dons look that flashy specially if you want to social with locals and you don't want them to think that you are a rich tourist on his fancy bike
but if any one think bigger is better so take the GS 1200 and enjoy but watch out for hernia as Ted said 
what and xr 650 needs , to tour Africa
large tank
better seat or s ship skin
build a small rack on the rear to carry more gear
perhaps a small wind shield
side panniers and a tank bag
some spare parts
