You could check out the new G650GS which is identical to the old F650GS single... Not a Dakar but the only viable way of getting a new one unless there is some old stock lying about.

With exception that it hasn't got the original Rotax motor.

What about the 650 X Challenge. A 650 based on the single cyl rotax motor. Being sold new.

Or there are lots of 55 plate dakars about on low mileage.
