Come to Australia its a adventure everyday lol, a muti purpose bike would be ideal for traveling our great land down under from wild wildness to great twisty roads, to very long open distant roads to extreme outback roads, but riding across the country on outback roads is best done in our winter as in summer its to extreme for heat, but a lot of places you need to carry extra fuel as some fuel stops are over 500km distants between stops, cost him $10k all up for fuel, food and of course beers.
I asked him would he do it again and he said for sure but next time will take it a lot more easier and do the trip over a few months if not the whole year as he come across some great places he would have liked to spend more time at and there was still places he didn't get to see, as for the bike it never missed a beat on the whole trip and after 3 years of ownership it has clocked up a lot of miles well over 70k and still going as good as the day he rolled out of the show room, he is also a very hard rider on his bikes.
