Now to try and recoup with some good advice.
That tool kit is ridiculously overpriced. The company has obviously bought a load of $100 tool kits and marketed them at the "more money than sense" market.
Build your own custom kit with the tools that YOU like to use at your budget. On the roadside , unless you actually know what you're doing, there are relatively few repairs you can actually do.
No offence, but ESPECIALLY on on a new BMW.
You didn't mention your mechanical/technical experience ???
For a RTW, that tool kit seems very limited. You're best bet is to start working on your own bikes and find out the tools that you need and that you like using. You can build a very competent and quality toolkit for under $100. Especially second hand (ebay etc).
I've got about £5000 worth of hand tools and even more in equipment. I've been collecting and spannering for over 15 years and I'm still buying more and more stuff.
Just take the minimum tools for the jobs that you know you can do....
You'd need four support trucks to be able to fix all the potential problems on a GSA. The failures you're likely to have are non-fixable unless you're carrying fuel pumps, final drives and all the gaskets etc etc etc.
Once you leave home with a complicated bike, you've committed a lot of yourself to luck.
That's obviously just my advice and just my opinion. There are many to chose from. Your own experience is probably the best voice to listen to though.
