depending on how long you have to do the trip, have you thought about breaking it down into 200 mile chunks? you could then stop at the lake district 1 night, push through the following day etc etc. A mate of mine used to do the ride on an old zx6r. he would push up in 1 hit but when he got back he was in pieces for a week.
And i don't think your bike will have any issues. You will be unlucky if it does.
