Plan on going off-road, or is just the roads in Argentina?

Mainly for city courier work, but I also like to travel around Argentina and where possible go off the beaten track. Dirt and gravel roads are in abundance here, but my current bike, being a chopper style, simply isn't up to that task.

Don't be like me and get an 80s CT110 for $100 from an old hippie because you'll never finish repairing it.

Pros: cheap, can drive on dirt, mud and gravel roads, cool design
Cons: missing battery, lights and few other pieces, exhaust goes brrrrr

I'm buying as new as possible. 2022 model year if possible. My current bike is ten years old and has done her fair share of work.

Respect for daring to ride a motorcycle, especially in South America. I am much to risk averse for it but it must be a great experience and much more efficient than a car too, which is excellent during these times.
