I think the biggest question is "why?".

Must be a Euro thing that North Americans can't understand.

We don't understand because we have to many land restrictions to have a race requiring a bike like that in this country. Back east thier's to many people and out west we have Turtles,the Milk Weed,Kangaro Rat and so on and so on.

I like it.. need a bit more clearance on the front fender or it will pack solid.. The rally bike races they do over in the other countries is rather neat.. would be a nightmare to try to put one on here. But then again.. I enjoyed seeing the WEC when it came to NY a few years back, wish it was a regular thing.

It would be nice to make all the enviro jerks disappear. Watching the news the other day and a new and endangered cactus was discovered in AZ. went on to say the OHV Parks will be re-evaluated now. That cactus they showed was the size of a normal thumb nail.
We will never have any large races out west. I'm waiting for them to shut down the king of the motos

Because it makes marketing sense..

The Dakar and rally raids in general are huge over here in Europe, you have a bike that finishes the Dakar, will make the Europeans take notice of the brand, and then buy a bike the Dakar is mainstream media over here.
