If it's a toy, go for it mate.
I managed to arse a tank of fuel on my 57 plate in about 100 miles regularly, saw it drop to mid 80s when I was, ehm, "making progress".
That was with the Akra's, K&N and other stuff along with a custom fuel map.
I did about 22000 miles in the two years I had her, including a trip to the Nurburgring, which was IMMENSE!
Glasgow to Lille in one hit was surprisingly easy, although the coolant leak in Nurburg and the fear about her going pop, not so much.
Gordo has an earlier model Adventure and it hasn't missed a beat, if you can I'd suggest going for one of the last ones with carbs or one of the most recent ones prior to the 1200 being released.
Good fun, nice toy, just don't keep it too long...
