Hey Thanassis, in order to reinforce your argument against Ian's idea that owning a bigger and more powerful touring motorcycle is purely a "psychological thing", I'm somewhat surprised you didn't remind Ian about Eddy's little "incident" over there in Europe a few years ago when he was tryin' to pass that long-assed truck on that highway that one day, and when your BMW RT had NO problem passin' that sucker, but Eddy just BARELY missed gettin' creamed while on your Speedy while tryin' to do the same thing...and THIS was when he was JUST ridin' ONE-UP!!!
(...in OTHER words, YEAH, one CAN tour on these babies, BUT with TWO-UP and with luggage, it suuuuuure is a mite tougher PASSIN' slower vehicles on two-lane roads out there withOUT the added benfit of increased "Roll-on Power", ain't it?!...in Europe or ANYWHERE for THAT matter, huh?!) 
Will I ever forget it. 
I has gone way past the truck and stayed in the middle of the road trying to nudge the oncoming car over a little (who came out of nowhere and was flying at us) while Eddy passed the truck. You know how close to the middle (and oncoming cars) I ride anyway.
The bastage wouldn't budge.
You've ridden that very same RT for several thousand miles around Europe.
I am sure you understand and appreciate the difference when touring.
