Bikes are not restricted, per se, other than to say there are varying theories as to how much the "pink wire" may or may not affect performance under 4000 revs.
Twisties? It's a big country, and I know there are some fabulous twisty routes down in Tassie, as well as in the hills near Melbourne. I'm sure there are plenty of others.
Normal speed limit - 100km/h (approx 60mph) varies from state to state.
I feel that insurance costs are reasonable, compared to Europe. Don't know how they compare with the States. The Busa is a bit more expensive than average to insure...
Helmets - compulsory
Food - Whatever you want. Multi-cultural background means there is plenty to suit most tastes. There are few things that are truly "Australian", but try potato cakes (deep fried battered potato discs from Fish n Chip shops), chocolate mud cake, and a few other sweet delicacies that seem to be hard to get when away from Australia.
I reckon the area near Melbourne has some excellent rides, but I think if I had to choose one place to go in Australia on Motorbike, I'ld go to Tasmania. Other people from other parts of the country will probably have their own favourites, though.
