been all round europe on mine, generally with my wife on the back and have got to say no problems for me but she found the back seat a bit slippy.  I used a tank bag, some paniers and a ruck sack, and when i am touring alone i sometimes put the seat hump bag on as well, totally enuff space to stick a small tent in etc, if on the other hand you are intending on using a caravan stick with the bmw

Done it last August to southern spain, 4000 miles in 10 days:







The bag is from bags connection, and it can carry alot of stuff and is very stable with it on the bike.

  Nick Sanders rode his 35000 miles across 41 countries including 3 desserts and the bike survived so how come your mates was 'fecked' after a short ride back from Croatia

Yep very stable even at high high speeds. I got the bag after seeing it on this site before the trip, very glad i did. As i done a scotland coast tour with a backpack for 5 days and that was a nightmare, even although it was a kriega it was just far too heavily loaded up.
