Bigger tank, more weight.
We took our Aprilia Pegasos through Latin America, they have a 15 litre tank. All we did was add a 2 (US) Gal tank on the back of each after Mexico.
And then we didn't need to use them until Chile !

I concur. Unless you're going well into the middle of the Saharan nowhere, you don't need a big tank (and you'll also need to know how to ride an overweight shed competently). Take plastic jerry cans where (possibly) needed.
Or even better cola bottles (won't rot with petrol inside; hole big enough to take petrol pump nozzle....)
I believe Colebatch did all of his Siberian/Mongolian trips just on a standard 14 litre xChallenge tank.
With ref to the costs of Starbucks fashion accessories (Acerbis) from Italy: consider the changes in £/euro exchange rates. All imported stuff into the UK is becoming more expensive.
cheers
Mr Starbucks (who has an aftermarket 27 litre tank for his DRZ and a 38 litre one on his Transalp: not to mention the standard 24 on his Africa Twin... hypocrite  )
