Ok, thanks all this advice, will definately do so - apart from no idea what a good solid bar end mounted crash gayrd is - soz - novice with terminology.
Also is it really needed to carry spare levers - do they break??? - seems pretty unlikely as even when dropping the bike their protected??
All this advice has made me more confident it can be done
Dodger mentinoed panniers to keep weight low which makes sense - had a look and the soft ones are cheap + cheerful - they dont seem very safe - ie. if i park in a town and go to the supermarkert for half an hour / explore the city they look very knickable????
And while im asking questions - ill be in EU so im guessing apart from maybe russia fuel shouldnt be an issue (have a 150-200 mile range), should i take a 2 litre bottle fr fuel just in case, also what other things for the bike - chain oil obviosly, (brake cleaner?), engine oil (carry a bottle spare - the whole engine doesnt take more than a bottle anyway)?
Tottaly agree with it being a posh c90 - stlill simple, simple, simple but goes 10mph quicker + has a few gears - in my opinion it is an awesome bike and i cant see myself on anything else for my first moto trip  ))
