A Czech on a Raptor is leading the quads while KTM is killing everything on 2 wheels with their 690s with only one Yamaha in the top 10.

I thought they called it off because of Terrorist threats again, guess not.

I kept up with it when I was younger and SPEED had a decent amount of coverage. Almost forgot about the rally after last year's debacle.

They did last year and moved it to South America this year.

do you even know what the dakar rally is? no vehicle could make that trek without being modded to the hilt.

i bet it's modded to the hilt.

Steering stabilizer, bigger fuel tank (more than 12 gallons), higher bars, a windscreen and a few more lights and they are good to go. Depending on the rider's weight and preferences the front suspension could use some work.
