I routinely ride gravel with my CB and it handles it fine as long as you don't get stupid. We used to have a forum member in Alaska who outfitted his bike as a "scrambler" and ran 80/20 tires with no problems. Several folks here have switched out handlebars and done extensive write-ups detailing the changes.
Previously owned a T100 and understand that bikes limitations, oly thing it has over the Honda is the panache associated with the Triumph name. Lots of luggage options available, I prefer soft luggage and know of at least a half dozen vendors, among the ones I like is RKA - good quality American made. Also lots of threads here by folks who have already done the luggage research and mounting. I did go the Corbin route, 8 hour days no problem after breaking in seat and butt.
Honda builds a solid inexpensive bike, give it a test ride. Not sexy but built for the long haul.
