I am not sure if you are talking about hunting out off road because you enjoy it or the gravel you will encounter in the course of your travels but if it is the latter I would save your money and make do with a standard oil in frame Triumph. The suspension on a Rickman is pretty much the same, you can always fit better forks and a 21 inch front wheel to a Triumph frame if you want and you can use ths standard 4 gallon breadbin tank, the Rickman tank is minute.
Any single carb 650 or 750 engine will do there is not much in it in terms of reliability which depends more on the skill or the last person to rebuild it and how it has been subsequently treated, your choice will depend more on whether you prefer left or right hand gear change, disc or drum brakes.
