DR650SE
As long as you don't want supercruise capability. It won't do more than the speed limit comfortably for more than ten minutes unless you are totally pain free

It won't haul passengers over the age & size of a ten year old.
DR's come with a low suspension option from the factory. Cheap and quick to change between low and high.
They are light which makes them even more suited for short riders.
Riding a DR on dirt is like cheating. Especially if you're used to a tank like the Dakar

I've got a low DR at the workshop if you want to check the height. The ones at the dealers are usually set tall.
The current price of R54,000 leaves plenty of dough for add ons, new gear and the first few trips

The cheap and simple maintenance will leave even more dough for future trips
