Dakar Rally Bike Questions
As i'm preparing (as an amateur entry) for the Dakar race, i'm looking for a few things which I hope some of you might be able to point me in the right direction:
- Who is experienced in putting a Dakar race bike together (with every change and modification that is required)? - Who or which company provides tech support during the race. I think Dessertrose is no longer offering that. Are their companies out there where you can by yourself into the support package? - Who would be a good training partner (someone who has done the Dakar before) for advise? - Is there a special site which lists older Dakar race bikes for sale? Thanks so much for the help.

As an amateur you are allowed to drive this one: KTM 690 Rallye Factory Replica -
It's ready to race with some spares. If KTM can manage to finish their new 450 it might be an option, but it might be smart to wait to the 2012-rally. I guess it will be possible to buy support from KTM during the race when the 450 is finished. Check: Dakar

Contact Charlie Rauseo in San Francisco. Charlie's Team Rallypanam has been running independent Dakar teams for 6 or 7 years. They often have bikes for sale and may offer support and training. For training I would go live in Nevada for a year. Races every week end, nearly year round.
