I ride a R100GS from 89, very modified and very easy to repair.
Even a torn valve which caused a total brakdown was repaired in south of spain within a week.
So I would look for an old bike which is easy to repair, avoid fuel pumps as they tend to break with fine dust you find almost everywhere and you can´t avoid it.
they key to succes is that you know your bike and you know how to repair and maintain it. It´s not the question of brand, it´s a question of your knowledge an what suits you. I would never change my ride, it took me everywhere I wanted to go (last time to Japan).
BTW. one maintainance per year:

Are you honestly saying that suspension technology has not changed in the past 30-40 years?
