I’m surprised by that actually, the big bores have been the staple contendors in Dakar and indeed most rally events for a lot of years now. I wonder if the Aus Safari will follow suit? It would seem logical really.
Dunno about the DRZ whitewash, given the success of Honda in so many desert events over the last few years. KTM also build bikes specifically for these events so a poor old stock standard DRZ, even if it has bits bolted on, is unlikely to take line honours any time soon!
