Varadero: 235 kg dry

I would take the k60 heaidenau, they are better for long distance (17000 km on my rear... went through heavy offroad and they were perfect).

Regarding the luggage, I would take soft.
Aluminium/plastic are more heavy, and, depending on the fixation, can fall down. Indeed, if there is a lot of potholes on the road the vibration can "break" your fixation.

I totally agree!

I changed my K60 Scout 150/70-17 after 18000 km which is the most long lasting tyre I've ever laid hands on and it handles equally good on tarmac as on gravel, never had any problems with it. Done 4000 km so far on the second one.
