As opposed
to the F650GS rider who would probably say, "It won Dakar, you know."
> major snippage
And.. the guy on the F650 does not have a bike that won Dakar
because
from what I have seen/heard/read.. the race version was very
heavily modified, no way resembling a stock bike upgraded to race.
I have yet to see a F650 on a d/s ride I have beeen on, no flames on
this as I do imagine it happened once
