The van van was my first bike and...
It was awesome, struggled with hills sometimes but it; looked mega, was goood fun, very forgiving, and so much fun, was also almost impossible to drop because you can just catch it (most of the time).
The only problems with it have pretty much already been mentioned, the rack was fairly flimsy, and the spark plugs are defiantly a necessary spare. I also remember the mirrors being a bit of a pain sometime.
But very small issues for such a great bike,
I'm going to do a big trip on a small bike soon so I say go for it!
All the best
