I bought a Malvern Star Oppy S1, similar age as you similar intentions and wants but only weigh 74 kgs. I have just completed an 2300klm ride into western and central Qld, and I cant fault this chromoly steel touring bike. Price was very good, excellent warranty and great service from the dealer and the parent company, if you are going to look at bikes look at this one as well, you wont be disappointed.
