I think if they can just finish, they can declare victory.

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.

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. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

That photo of the KLR - what a gas tank! And it looks like there's a petcock right at the botom ... looks pretty exposed to me. Chris ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Dakar-Dave" Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2006 14:34:26 -0000
