I'm a big fan of the Dakar Rally. It starts tomorrow, the 1st and runs for 14 days.

A bit confused at first...Paris Dakar in now is Saudi Arabia.

Back in 2008 terrorism concerns moved the event to South America. And then in 2020 it moved to Saudi Arabia.
There is a great overview of the event here:

Yeah, the CRF300L Rally looks cool, but it's a fat pig. Almost weighs as much as a Svart 401!
I'd get a kit on a Husky 350 or 450...

That's a great video, thanks!
Been looking at a Honda CRF300l Rally recently, I have never had a dual sport... and now I REALLY want one
Unless you're really confident its what you need, ride one first before you buy one
It has less than half the power of your Black bike.
I was ok with that due to the price, but I got a call from the local Honda dealer and they are asking a nice mark up for them. I might as well pay more and get a Husky FE or KTM EXC-F. Weight is way lower on those.
I want to leave my 401 for road use (and eventually upgrade to a 701), but I got the bug for a dual sport as I want to learn to ride on dirt in a street legal machine. I've riden my friends KTM super moto and dig it, but that motorcycle is USD $16,000 in Puerto Rico and I was looking for something cheaper.
Sorry OP for the thread jack.
