Two Brits in 2004 (McGregor and Boorman) rode around the world on a pair of these Bikes. That is a hard accomplishment to beat. I cannot say honda is worse, but I hope to get one of these BMWs this coming Spring. Note that the BMW borchure states it holds more fuel than this web site states, and you can carry a 5 gallon "Gerry Can" with fuel if really going a long way without refueling.
