    It says it's a modified RXV 4.5. Maybe that means a Honda 450 motor.

    Actually, I think the 450's have been a lot more reliable than the 550's.

    The engine dig was a pre-emptive strike

    I wish them well and hope that success would translate into another adventure bike (a la Caponord)...

    They should kick ass. I hear both Brett Favre and Chuck Norris will be riding them.

    Are they going to change the oil every 500 miles?

    I see that they went with a Braking rotor. Doesn't mean anything. Just something different to talk about rather than oil mixing with water at inopportune times.
    ...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG

    Or how goofy those rally bikes look, what with their fairings and all ...

    Aprilia gets a podium in their first Dakar effort:

    Dakar : Standings

    Third place ain't bad for any rally, especially Dakar.
