Suzuki GSX650F, don't know if it's LAMS in QLD but probably the best bike he can get in his situation.

They are also VERY capable on long distances, comfy and can carry the weight no problem.
Not a 2fidy though. The one question I have is what is going on in the m,inds of the dimwits that thought"gee this LAMS scheme work well in every other state - we should bring it in here......and then delete half the bikes off it"
I was just on a plane reading all about a bunch of nutters testing some LAMS bikes through the Snowies..Know anything about that Phil...... Nice work mate...I still like reading your riding gear list

Have you looked at a second hand KLE. They are a bit more road focused than the KLR and give you two cylinders instead of one. The engine is the same as the ER5 from memory. They are LAMS approved in NSW but don't know in QLD. Worth a look.

KLR650 is on QLD LAMS, GSX650F isn't, to answer the above
