You probably wouldnt be too far from the truth though, bloody nanny country seriously. Ive since decided, or opted, not to pursue a bluetooth helmet and am instead looking at the HJC IS-16 or 17, or the Shark Vision R

I go every year, good thing about having a holiday house at San Remo!! I thought the tyre problems added another element to the whole spectacle, it mixed it up a bit especially the having to change bikes part. Who knows, it could be come a feature :p

Hey all, just trying to do some research on whether there are any bluetooth fitted helmets for sale within Australia, or do we have to source them from overseas like in America and then not have an Australian Standards helmet?? Ive been looking at Torc T12B Bluetooth Full Face Motorcycle...

Ive asked a few dealers the same question, and that was "which size bike is generally selling the most these days for learners?" and all of them basically said the bigger capacity restricted bikes ie. 500cc+ were outselling the smaller 250-300cc bikes easily and the market had changed. Yeh i...

Not in Australia though as far as im aware. We have the xj6sl

Ok so ive been on these forums for awhile but only joined up the other day. 30 year old male living in Melbourne, going to take the leap and get my learners in the first qtr of next year and plan on buying an FZ6R.

I have to say, that whole graduated speed rule you have in NSW to me is soooo wrong. There is nothing worse than being stuck behind someone who is going slower then the speed limit is, especially if its a second of the hwy which is single lane each way. Frustrating as hell.

ok i finally found where i saw the pic of the "coming soon" bike Learner Licensing | Yamaha Motor Australia in the banner at the top, the xj6f with coming soon pasted over the top of it. ofcourse i dont know how old that banner/ad is.

So i was at Yamaha dealer yesterday, and while they had no FZ6R's there, they did have an XJ6 which was nice. After talking to the guy there (who in my limited opinion sounded like he didnt have great knowledge on a bikes statistics performance wise) he mentioned that the current model of the...

Ok, i figured that was how i read it but it could be taken a number of ways such is the poor wording of it, well from my point of view anyway haha

Cheers for the replies. From what I've gathered the rules are different in each state. No idea what an R-date is as there is nomention of it anywhere in the Victorian handbook. Maybe I need to fine someone from Victoria to help me out properly that's all. It's not a matter of me wanting...

Ok, so i basically get the whole LAMS thing, and given im 30 and have a full car license, i assume after having my learners for a minimum of 3 months i can then get my full license on the bike without having a probationary period?? Is this correct? And if so, does that mean for the remainder...

Yeah cheers. As far as insurance goes, what do most of you in Australia pay, be it 3rd part or full comp??

Hi guys, in the next couple of months I'll be getting my license and bike and besides the cost of the bike, what other associated costs will I encounter with the initial purchase. I'm talking rough estimates for equipment, rego (if needed) insurance etc etc. I'm located in Melbourne. Cheers
