Thanks Freddy. I might try the Ventura racks too.
I've been told that the Akrapovic slip ons a little bit longer and would require the L brackets being extended.

chip,
If you haven't read this already:
The LC8 based Super Moto is probably the most versitile, then the standard Super Duke. The SDR is so narrowly focused that it will detract from your overal ride experiences IMO. However the visual appeal of the SDR makes it difficult to say no to.

The SM is good but I too lean towards the Super Duke, it is a very good overall package. Lack of touring bags are an issue in your case, but a little Aussie ingenuity should resolve that. The SDR has much sharper edges than the SD, a couple 240k legs with a stretch shouldn't be bad. The SDR motor probably has limited range compared to the SD but not too much when cruising. A camp fuel bottle or two would make it equal on trips.
I just took mine out through the favorite twisites today and it's a sharp handling, firm suspended beauty. But she urges you to ride her and explore limits, and induldge in the howl of the 52mm throttle bodies. Relaxing? Depends on the person. Enjoyable? Absolutely!
I'd love to do a lap of Oz, I have a good friend who lives in Shepperton and has a holiday house over looking the Great Barrier Reef, that would be my trip of a lifetime. Austalian GP, Phillip Island MotoGP or WSBK, Touring car race, play the Sandbelt golf course, get pissed with the locals and ride the lap...............game set match. I might even take in a cricket match.

I carried a siphon hose on the last trip, which had some use when I ran dry at the Island :oops: . Siphoned two stubbies out of my mates bike and that got me into town.
A lap of the country has always been in the back of my mind too but the distances and remoteness of the north west put me off. A great couple of weeks could be spent riding down from the Barrier Reef to Phillip Island, with a lap of Tasmania thrown in for good measure. We did a lap of Tassie en route to the WSBK a couple of years back and I'm toying with the idea of doing it again on a SDR

welcome chip, the final choice will have to be yours and no one elses, if you choose the sm or the standard sd you will have a more versitile and comfy bike, the sdr is the most rewarding bike i have ever ridden yes it feels great when your heading out on a ride and totaly focused but it will punish you on your way home when tired, i have never bought a bike that i took a test ride on, all my favorite bikes have been bought on impulse, with no test ride just turn up look and hand over the money,sp1, sdR included, if you ride a bike you will look for nigles if you buy it ,then you will learn to live with it but the reward will be greater.
