id hazard a guess and say no - the fact they ripped the design language for their bike nearly panel for panel from the honda goldwing? id say not much innovation there
You should always carry a little more thank you think you need (within reason) but for water, it's not a terrible idea to carry a water treatment method. I like Sawyer's ceramic filters unless I'm heading into the wilderness, then that becomes a backup filter for an actual purifier.
water treatment only works if water sources are on the route and naturally occurring water is more common than rest stops (with vending machines, fast food, bathrooms, water fountain).
