I've ridden a Serrow, and it was a hoot off-road, but would be a pain over any great distance on-road, and as others have said, might start to struggle with luggage etc.
I'd also say that given the choice, a Kawasaki Super Sherpa is better than the Serrow in virtually every respect (actually, make that every respect...)
Personally if I were looking for a low seat hight, dual-sport bike that could comfortably handle a lot of both on-road and off-road riding, I'd look at a DRZ400 SM (the supermoto version), and consider re-lacing the front wheel with a 19 inch rim, so you could fit Continental TKC80's front and rear.
I'd suggest that combo would be ideal for the sort of trip you are envisaging - the the SM version is noticeably lower than the stock DRZ, the 400cc engine has plenty of power, there are lots of accessories available (luggage racks, skid-plates and larger fuel tank for example), while I'd suggest the TKC80 is arguably the best compromise tyre out there for dual-sport use?
