I did that on my first R1200GS and it was a lot lighter than your 1150GSA. The new 1200's are around 450 lbs and very versatile. I don't take my current one on the crazy boulder terrain around here. But it's fine for fire roads and light offroading. It sure is comfy for long rides too. I've taken it to LA and back probably 10x in the last three years. 500 mile days are a breeze.
