Ride to Spain..

Hi Guys, Bit of advice please....
Am going on annual rideout with mates (Tuono ZX12R Mille GSX750) and this year, since it may be my last as plan is to emigrate to NZ, I've decided to try to take the SP4.... We're going to head thru France, do the Pyrranees and do some of spain too - 350 miles riding per day average.

Now its quite a nice bike and I dont want to scratch it!!! And I dont want to wear a backpack for 2000 miles, and.. I dont want to cock up the handling with weight too high or right out over the back... Dont like too big a tank bag either...! Oh dear, picky eh?
Ideally I dont want it to look like a pack horse either....!
Plus I want to be able to unload the bike quickly every night and re-pack it without drama every morning.

So the big question is: where am I going to put my stuff and what am I going to put it in?? I'm willing to buy / hire the right packing gear. ..
Anyone done a long trip with a 888 and can offer some advice please?
