Tdi it, fit parabolic springs and Mazda rx8 seat and you will be fine that's what i'm doing to mine 
For 35 or more years I commuted between 18 and 25 miles each way by motorcycle and in a series when the weather was dodgy.
You have to want to drive a series and put up with all the noise/leaks/problems, but boy are they fun !
Reality of 40 to 45 mph cruise is nearer the mark in a diesel.
Average MPG 16/20 on petrol. 24 to 28 on standard diesel running proper 4.7 diffs.
The other half will hate it and not want you to take her anywhere.
Great forums for banter and tips.
Sold my last one when I retired as cant afford to keep all the toys and the old bikes won my affections.

The. Type of tyres being used can have an effect on the mpg. Chunky mud pluggers aren't recommended for good fuel efficiency.

I used my Series 2 as daily transport for a few years, but didn't have to go on motorways to work, and was running LPG.
