Honda Hornet 900

Hello

I am new to this site and need some advice. I intend to travel around Australia (20 000km - 2 months) and then go on the the USA and travel from LA to Miami or New York. I have a Honda Hornet 900 and am not sure whether I should take this bike or another (possibly a V-Strom 650 or 1000). Would prefer to take the Hornet (much cheaper) but a little concerned about reliability, spares and spending so much time on the bike (worried about my butt!)

Would be grateful for any advice.

Peter

The Hornet has the (older and slightly detuned) Fireblade engine, which is/was bulletproof, go for it
