People say a lot of silly things. Go with what makes YOU comfortable. My dad and I (about the same combined weight as you and yours) did 400 mile day trips on a KZ400 in the eastern mountains of the US. Our neighbor and his wife (again about the same as you and yours) toured the south east US with a few trips to South Dakota on a Honda CX500. My ex-wife and myself did weekend on a Honda CB 360. The Honda CB750 was once considered a good touring bike.
All else being equal, lighter is better (unless "all" your time is major highway with semi-trucks & trailers at 70+ mph). Smaller usually means less fuel.
Any twin 500-750 would be more than enough bike for the trip while still being relatively fuel frugal and easy to repair.
