Which XT model and year do you recommend especially ? Does it vibrate a lot or should I go for dual Yam Tenere in order to not have such much vibe.
Personally I prefer older carb bikes more over new ones because of problems may occur in remote areas.

The XT600E was made upto 2003. There are still very clean low mileage examples out there.
That's what I'd go for. It's vibe free upto about 65mph then the engine isn't overly happy. Change gearing to 15/44 for 70mph cruising. It hasn't really got the power for longer gearing than that.
I'd still prefer a DR650 but theres not much in it at all. Don't forget the KLR650 too for even better highway cruising.
