Looks like there will be three KLR650's in the 2007 Dakar Rally. Here's a pic of one of the bikes: http://dive.smugmug.com/photos/118436779-L.jpg For more information visit: http://www.dakar.com Or visit Team Green Dakar web-site, but this site is not in English. Not long to go now and the rally begins Dave Oregon http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Oregon_DSR

That bike is beautiful. Does anyone recognize the tires? Capt. Bob Durham, CT USA 2006 KLR http://seniorbiker.blogspot.com/

Nice looking bike and a nice array of interesting sponsors: there is a BMW flash on the rear fender and a Toyota flash on the fairing. Oddly enough the kickstand safety switch is still installed. Hmm. On a race bike? Perhaps there will be 3 KLR's AT the DAKAR to just tease the folks who read DSN_KLR650. Maybe Dave could give us something else to tease us along. revmaaatin.

I'm certainly not an expert but that bike doesn't look race ready to me. Unless it's entered in a semi stock class. One would think the front fork would be replaced with something from a KLX or motocross machine. The overall suspension doesn't look like it's jacked up enough for it's intended purpose. This one looks more like a cosmetic representation of what the race machine might look like. Don revmaaatin wrote: --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Dakar-Dave" wrote:
