To 'Lost1'
Perhaps an XT 225 Yamaha for your friend?. The bike is a 4 stroke with electric start and a seat height that is reasonably low. For long distance touring stay away from 2 Strokes, the maintenance will crash the budget. The only drawback with the xt is its fuel capacity (~200km). A change to the gearing at the rear wheel would reduce the revs at highway speeds and so the fuel consumption as well.
Good luck with your trip.
Cheers Ben.
