help choosing bike for 2 traveling all around
hello all  ,
I have the dream as many of you to travel round the world by bike, but since that would take a very long time, i decided to go by motorbike
Me and my wife both like bikes, but never made huge trips with them, specially since the bigger bike I had was a Honda CB500.
I'm now looking to purchase "THE MOTORBIKE" to start traveling long distances, road and some off-road, and for that would like to request your help.
I'm looking for something with the following characteristics:
- good to travel with 2 adults (around 70kg + 60kg)
- not too heavy (for me a BMW GS1200 is heavy)
- easy to maneuver
- i need to reach the ground with my feet while seated (i'm 1,72m high)
I would prefer a used one, but new is also an option. A good option would be one with easy maintenance and easier to find replacement parts.
The first main big goal would be to go from Portugal to Nepal, but with smaller goals before, so I can start to learn about long distance traveling by bike.
Any recommendations ?
Thank you in advance.
