My choice would have been a KLR650. Went solo to Alaska on one without
a problem. Regrettably sold it at the end of the trip, but bought
another one when I moved to Ferndale. No problems with that one either,
other than a few lost bolts due to vibration. The KLR has been the most
durable bike I've ever owned. It's also at least a hundred pounds
lighter than the BMW and Triumph offerings, and if you've ever ridden
off road, you know that is pretty important.
