Yamaha Dakar Competitor

[Swagger]

Cyril Despres has apparently signed up with Yamaha which means that they must be going to enter a competitive machine in next years Dakar. Will that be a triple format bike .... I'd put money on it. ::015::

Well, except that IIRC the Dakar rules now limit the bikes to single-cylinder machines only...

I miss the days of the big, booming Beemer twins ridden by little Gaston Rahier, etc. Now all the bikes look and sound alike.

Yes, I believe that they are limited to 450 cc, so that leaves out the 850 triple.
