I drove that way from Switserland to the Netherlands on an old Honda CB125S (a loooong time ago).

And I bet you had fun!
There is one thing that bothers me. I know all about packing light. Having carried my own rucksack to 17,000 feet in the Himalayas, I have definitely learned never to carry anything I don't need. However, as you get older the things you need seem to increase. I go motorbike camping with actually less stuff that I really want and still don't like packing that load on a little C90!  It's the one thing that really makes me want a car, so I can have more gear, but pack in a fraction of the time!
