"this is the bike i wanted when i was desert rallying back in the nineties but never had the time or money whilst i was racing. my original dakar rally xtz690 was featured in TBM magazine oct 2000.would love to race this in AFRICA ECO race or similar but really need to find sponsorship to do it justice"

But yeah, from a mechanical view wow what a machine, mega bucks.

Mezo.
