Hi Dusty,
Thanks for correcting my indication of the type of bike. I indicated this tyoe, beacause I am used to ride it (also not to "adventurous" dirt road), but would also ride a confortable touring, but not interested in a sport. I am 1.94 cm tall and want to sit comfortable (not with my knees around my ears), and I am not a racer.
I am thinking of early to mid april to start. Want to visit my daughte, living in Apollo Bay (VIC) for a week or two and make a nice trip. So starting point could be the whole eastern coast (Brisbane, Sydney, etc)
Regards,
Thijs

I get you . Long distance require a comfortable bike. Just mentioning the local names for these bikes. We call the R1200GS an adventure tourer but we know most of them never see gravel.
The dates are wrong for me to lend you my DR 650. I need it for Mid April as I have organized a DR gathering at that time. It sounds like you are looking for a bigger bike anyway. If you're going to Apollo Bay you will be experiencing one of the most famous scenic roads in Australia.
