Having ridden some 1500 miles in a Vultus over the past few days, including riding non-stop from London to the Dordogne, I feel qualified to say that with a few little mods it makes a great all-rounder. It is also as close to a proper FF as anything so far put into mass production. It's proved it can be a city commuter, a back-roads scratcher or a Grand Tourer of great comfort! It's also the most economical standard motorcycle over 125cc I have ridden since I sold my Honda CB72 250 over 40 years ago!
Even I managed to get 65mpg (imperial) cruising at 70-80mph through the night, despite the addition of not-very-aerodynamic throw-over panniers.
FWIW Most non-motorcyclists are very impressed by the way it looks too. You get questions from intrigued passers-by wherever you stop.
Essential mods for long distance touring (in addition to soft luggage) are a screen extension and some spare fuel due to the preposterously small (11 litre) petrol tank.
(Although keeping to legal-ish speeds will still enable you to cover 150 miles on an 11 litre tankful).
The other essential is tall waterproof boots because the fairing stylishly neglects to provide any protection from wind and rain below the knees!
A serious FFer would extend the bottom of the fairing to provide the necessary cover and change the angle of the (folding) footboards to make them less horizontal.
He or she might also consider moving the rear brake lever from right foot to left hand in a superscooter stylie to make relocation of the right footrest easier.
The screen should be wider and adjustable to a higher level, although the seat could be a few inches lower than its already low standard 25 inches, which would make the standard screen more effective.
The wide 'batwing' mirrors should fold in like the Burgman 650's for easier town use and the optional Honda hard panniers should be joined by a top box, preferably all in one unit.
