As for bike choice I'm being swayed mostly by passion for a bike, I had a CCM 644 got hit by a car on it, fixed it, then it got stolen! spares should be ok as its a DR650 engine and other parts are pretty generic!

Pic of my CCM on a winter trip to the Alps. It's the older 604 with the Rotax engine but other than that it's pretty much the same as the the 644. They must be cheap enough now to make the basis of an inexpensive overlander.
Tanks for them are the problem though. The one on mine is 23/24L (never have worked out the exact capacity) and one of a small number CCM made / bought / modded for their Paris-Dakar effort about 15yrs ago. That's where the 250 mile range comes from. The std 13L used to give me about 150 /160. The P-D tank is almost certainly Acerbis and must have been based on something else. I know Honda tanks don't fit (too narrow over the top tube) but maybe Suzuki or Yamaha ones might
