All sounds like good stuff , just got back from Italy myself, 2,200 miles on my new (2002) le mans which takes it up to 3,000 miles, coping with thunderstorms, blazing heat, German autobahns and 2,500 metre alpine passes - no problems, had a fantastic time - next long trip being planned although nothing special until the V twin rally in August.
No - I tell a lie, there was one problem - the exhausts are too quiet! but I think that will be remedied soon.
All the best
