An (ex) mate of mine has been all over Europe on his, two up. No problems whatsoever.
I have done 300 miles + days on them.
Absolutely rock steady, very reliable bike.

make sure you do the obvious stuff like tyre pressures, fluid levels, chain adjusted and lubed.
beyond that, don't worry about the bike. it will keep rolling a lot longer than you do!
