Dakar Rally on speedchannel today @ 4pm & 9pm pacific. They showed the DS650 BAJA. Over 5000 miles...woohoo

 

what place are the ds's in?

 

Watching as I type!

I think the guy got confused,,,he said the yellow one had a 4 cylinder????

The Banshee was in the lead,,(early stage),,,,and It sounded like it had a 4 stroke.

Looks like a blast.

Those quads look heavyyyyyyyy.

 

it's on right now in PA. i agree with you, the banshee did sound like a 4-stroke.
those KTM bikes are pretty nasty looking!
there was only one ds650 baja, and i think he was either in 8th or 9th.

didn't i see there is only 6 bombs total in the race? that is pretty high company if that is right.

 

First place quad is a Yamaha 850?
MACHACEK
I think it is a Banshee frame and plastic only

 

Who would have thought someone would run a warrior?

 

That is a 850 V-twin in MACHACEK quad
