I think the three travellers you mention are the exception these days. I know you could add Ewan and Charlie to the list and there are probably dozens of people currently travelling on 1200GSs but even so the trend in Europe is towards smaller lighter bikes. There are currently several 650cc bikes available that are quite capable on the road and much easier to handle off road and as travelling light is the way to go we no longer need the overweight 'beast of burden'.
