Mid displacement bikes make excellent tourers. My old '73 R75 fitted with a Vetter fairing and some throw over bags was a comfortable long distance bike. Easy to service at roadside, great fuel mileage, light weight and safe handling. I had friends who owned the GL650 and they were fine rides and reliable as well.
The Deauville was sold in the US as well but sales were weak and it was dropped. A pity as it was a good bike. Used examples are quite common and go for fire-sale prices.
