congratulations on passing chap!
I ride a Hond varadero v twin 125, very sturdy bike and comfy, i rode mine from plymouth along the coast to folkstone and back with an over night in odiham on the way there, then from plymouth to kinloss, scotland via fort william .in three days with a stop in birmingham then a stop in edinburgh, very good fuel economy about 275 miles to a 16L tank. i love my bike and enjoy making bits for it, my next mod is a rear pannier set, ally box kind for a bit of security. i think i'll only get another when i can afford a norton 961s commando. but i'll never sell my baby vara. i'm off on it this weekend acctually down to fort william find someware to sleep ( any suggestions of good out of the way spots would be great) then around to oban and back over rannock home along the eastern side of lock ness, i'm very excited!!
