Hi, check out these new motorcycles coming in from this Chinese manufacturer who have been making machines for twenty years and are really producing some nice bikes. This touring model is priced well at under $8000 and with 60 hp and learner approved it will be interesting to see how they go.Very snappy looks and panniers they have a lot to offer those starting to tour also with a wet weight of approx 220 kg and good size seats which we may have to shape for comfort or lower for your requirements I think these will be bikes for the future!http://www.bikepoint.com
