I have a 2008 Sutra and love it. the 2017 version is a few iterations down the line so I can not pass comment as to its virtues and vices, although proper mudguard fixing points and a bottom bracket which does not rely on a rubber band to function are no doubt good things. *
Every good tourist needs a pair or two of 3/4 lengths or breeches or plus whatevers you wish to call then. They keep your knees warm on cold days, stop the backs of your knees getting sunburnt on hot days and mean your phone and wallet are always close to hand. I have a pair of Oregon cyclewear 3/4, which are no longer made and a couple of pairs of R*ph* fixie shorts, again no longer made, I am beginning to think that there is a message in this.
For the top: merino so you can go into the pub and have a post ride drink and a bite to eat without stinking the place out.
* The best thing about the Sutra is of course jumping on it and saying "Tommorow we ride": however In the decade I've owned the thing I've not come across a Jean Bobet reading Serbian or Croatian speaker to share the joke with.
