going by the rear sprocket he is more interested in top end speed to keep the revs down ;)

should be good for 1000 kph :D

Ignacio`s on a winner there, the only thing that will slow him down is the Thousands of Young Female Fans lining the track, it happens when you ride a Bultaco! ;) ;)

On the ADV site there is a link(many links) to all things Dakar.
There is a thread that tells of scrutneering and how they lock the engines so they can't be swapped MORE THAN TWICE!!!
That's right, they can swap the bottom-end twice but the top-end can be changed every night if they want and probably even at lunch if they have parts with them!!
So much for it being a rally.
I vote for the guy on the Bully. probably has Donny Newell on his crew complete with a heap of nos pistons :D :D :D
