For long distance touring, nothing better out there. Just completed our third European tour and the bike has never missed a heart beat.
Plenty of luggage space even with pillion insisting that everything must be in a pannier or it's not going!!
A bit top heavy and a bit unstable at low speeds but if treated with respect and low speed manoeuvring is planned in advance then everything should be fine.
Running costs are not cheap but the sheer luxury is worth it.
