Typewriter options for a motorcyclist?

As title says, I do a lot of travelling and solo vacations on a motorcycle. When I'm in the car, I'll usually take my Torpedo 18, but it doesn't really fit into my bag for motorcycling. Portables are too big, so I'm looking at ultra-portables.

I was considering the Corona Zephyr, or the more expensive Hermes Rocket. Would anyone recommend one over the other? Are there any other machines that you would recommend?

Size is obviously the name of the game, since real estate is at a premium. That said, it needs to be robust. I don't plan on banging it around, but it would be subjected to substantial jostling, if that makes sense. Something with a hard case is preferred.

Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

Cheap cameras are best cameras.

No electronics, no problems.

Inverted forks pros: stiffer, better suspension.

Inverted forks cons: more susceptible to leaks.

New Indian Scout 101, little over a thousand miles. I knew this was a possibility with inverted forks, but I expected them to last more than 5 weeks lol. It's a bummer, but at least it's still under warranty. The downside; nearest dealership is 5 hours away.

I've had Inverted forks on most of my bikes, but the only time I've had a leak was on a brand new machine 🙃
