Thats looks like a great bike for touring around Indonesia. As you know speed is hardly ever above 60-70 km/h so no need for a big bike.
For Sumatra I suggest Lake Toba a crater lake at a certain altitude which has great climate and some tourist facilities at the village of Tuktuk.
Then there is Bukit Lawang, a small mountain settlement with a very modest tourist scene. Jungle trips with rafting and orangutang spotting was cool.
Banda Aceh - the northernmost province which was very hard hit by the 2004 tsunami. There is a huge tsunami museum and other spots to watch. And the road from Banda Aceh and south on the west coast is extremely nice!
Bukittingi and the road and ride to Padang was cool and also the ride from Padang to Lampung along the west coast. Never was the feeling of being lost and on an adventure higher than there during my RTW ride.
There are many other interesting places on Sumatra - I hope others can chime in with advice…
