Hello, I am looking into the possibility of a dual sport adventure motorcycle that I can ride occasionally (mostly a driver).
I have look into KTM which is more popular here, as well as Yamaha Super Tenere but they are rougher on tarmac and I am thinking of doing 80% or more on the road rather than a more dedicated off road bike, and both bikes are too tall for me too.

I narrowed down to BMW F650 Dakar, G650GS Sertao used or a BMW G310GS.
I might even consider a Honda CB500X but not so sure about it's offroad capability.

The F650 is the cheapest used and a proven bike, but the tallest out of the all 4 bikes I'm considering, the G310 is of the suitable height but I'm not sure it is sufficient for highway cruising I expect to do, likewise if the Honda is good enough off road.

I am a little more than 160cm in height and have look into http://cycle-ergo.com/ for ideas, but not sure how tall is too tall, and how much it is possible to lower a motorcycle.
My budget is a little over 20k, would open to other opinions and recommendation as well.

Honda AD-V scooter might be good

got tons of video on versys 250 vs bm310, versys250 650 vstrom, cb500x, trk501 going off road,

and also depends on your definition of " off road"
