That's a cool looking rack! Is that a high backup light?

Those look like pretty "motard" tyres?

I know nothing about bikes. But that looks good!!
I followed a mate on his (I actually had to message him to ask what it is) Suzuki drx 650, around Mt Disappointment and Tallarook as he wanted to do some "light" trails after he bought it... The whole time trailing behind him in the comfort of a Patrol's A/C and seats, and I STILL thought to my self how f*cking cool would it be to travel around on that thing.

Yep they are 80% On road and 20%off road. They'll do for now. This will mostly be a commuting bike. Over paying $3k a year on car parking!

Ah. Might want to look at a comfier seat if you're just munching miles, depending how much natural padding you bring to the situation
Chain oiler and sprocket advice stands.
I'm not up to speed with the oz rules. I know NZ blindly and daftly followed your LAMS (power to weight ratio for learners) scheme...which did open up some good bikes for newbies but also achieved nothing in terms of safety...
they then hiked the registration/continuous licensing costs (which I don't think you have??) for >650cc machines which made it a proper ball-ache, especially if you kept more than one horse in the stable... I mean, you only have one arse, so why do we have to pay for multiple bikes :@
government is dumb. rant over.

Drifta recovery kit with 15t kinetic rope which they sent separately as no stock but it looks good, I just need a rope tow bridle now and I can keep the straps as spares.
