G5X II, M6 II and a motorcycle!

Hello to everyone,

I am riding a motorcycle and portability is very important to me. During my riding I often stop to take landscape photos without taking out my helmet so EVF is almost useless to me. I stop beside the road without get off the Moto, grab the Powershot A700 or mobile phone from the pocket of my jacket, snap a photo, put it back, open the throttle and leave like a thief.

Canon Powershot G5X II offers me zoom and 100% portability. On the other hand, M6 II gives me better quality, fast AF and takes me to the level of mirrorless. I have rejected Dslr and R mount. I am in dilemma, does it worth to sacrifice some portability in order to gain some more IQ? What do you think?

I have a serious query. Do the motorcycle vibrations effect the IS mechanism of lens?

Except landscape photography, I like street, portrait and macro. Thanks in advance.
