List of things I used.

Gear and Bike info

I decided to go for a 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200Z after doing a lot of research and some test rides.

I guess time will tell if this choice was good.

So far I'm very satisfied with it.

I have done some additions or modifications to the bike  like the windshield (made it longer from old leftover piece from previous bike), added heated grips, Givi crash-bar and side racks, Garmin AMPS rugged mount, tool tube, hatchet tube, cup holder (great for holding all kinds of little shit), ABS off switch, riding lights, highway pegs, 2 water bottle holders, Dirt-Skins on front shocks, Mitas E-07 Dakar tires, home made rear fender splash guard and bash plate. I also set the stock seat position at the front side on high and rear on low plus a sheep skin to make riding somewhat more bearable. Added 2 Pelican storm 2600 side cases with modded attach plates for more strength (found out it was too weak during dump test).
