Targa Twin, done 3 euro's and 3 C2C, or my TS1 3 Euro's + 3 C2C. As all have said on here its about
correct prepping of your scooter and riding with like minded souls
Oh and breaking down and
fixing it, is what scootering is all about

Mr G ''s Targa , my Avanti and nicks RT.
3rd consecutive Euro together. All very different.
But all very capable.
2,000 miles shouldn't be to much of a challenge for a well put together motor what ever it is.
Picking your riding companions is more important as picking your kit.

Agree with Adam to a point, my current set up of 4 plate clutch, GT 200 kit (carry spare piston ) with evo pipe seems to be best set up in terms of grin factor, reliability and fuel consumption although a std ts1 set up is just as good

Yep, but on the plus side... it did give us another Euro tale to tell

Unmolested Rapido 225, MBGM RT 70mm head, Delly 30 PHBH, JL3 pipe, GP/DL gearbox with 47/19 primaries, 4.95 final ratio, pulls like a train, sits at 65+ all day long with more to spare, nice and smooth.
N.B.: have never ridden my Lammy in Europe but there are plenty of mountains here in Oregon.
As for the fuel consumption... get a long-range tank.
