Hi Reg,
Welcome to the HUBB
You can tour on anything, people ride Honda C90 stepthroughs round the world (RTW), pack up your bike and ride, don't take too much crap.
Though not essential, its good to have a basic understanding of the bike, make sure you have spare fuses and a puncture repair kit/small compressor/bike hand pump is always a good idea.
Make sure your motorcycle insurance covers you for where you are going and that you have medical coverage too. A small motorcycle cover is useful in Europe if you are away from your bike, a disk lock or chain is handy too.
Have a good time
