The main joy of owning a bike for me is long-distance travel. Since I bought CB1100, 3700km to the West coast last year, preparing for 5500km to the East coast later this summer.

I will be adding hand guards and heated grips for cold and/or damp weather.
I have not camped off the bike, but there would be plenty of room behind me for my clothing and camping gear.
I have completed one Saddle Sore 1000 ride on my CB and have logged several 500+ mile days.
I have to stop to stretch every 130 miles or so, so the fuel capacity is a nonissue for me.
