Used to have one - loved it. It was designed for off road stuff anyway. Low, easy to ride, fat tyres. A bit underpowered and on the heavy side for its engine capacity (IMO) but that was on the road, and anyway, what it lacked in nippability, it made up for in just being great to ride, and the nip factor was only a drawback in London traffic, not for travelling around on. There is a thread over on advrider written by two Romainian girls travelling round Europe on van vans. Quite interesting. As for fuel, carry cans. That's what I always do and managed fine doing that on a recent trip acoss EUrope and Asia to Mongolia on a Chinese scooter. Plenty of room on the VV to stash stuff too.
