Have a young friend (19) who is coming to Sydney july 1 to sept 1 and wants to do a look about Australia on a motorcycle. he is thinking of leasing/buying a 350-500 cc enduro (combo street/dirt?) bike.....what will it cost him? can you give some suggestions of people to contact via fax in australia to do this in advance? What will insurance cost?Insurance: comprehensive insurance on a sportbike runs at about 15% of the insured value. Rego plus compulsory third party personal insurance runs to just under $300 for most bikes (tho' any bike he hires/buys will have this already).
