Gas Gas Dakar Rally Bike

Not too much information on it, assuming they are using a Yamaha motor, since they have a small partnership with them.

Yeah, sure looks like it. The engine plugs appear to be the standard Yamaha plug size.

That looks like sooo much fun...

[Quote from 450 EC Cervantes Replica spec] With a collaboration with Yamaha, the renowned Japanese five-valve cylinder head adapted and developed extensively by Cervantes and the Gas Gas team over the past year.

That is the sexiest bike I have ever laid my eyes on...

I recently bought a 2-Stroke Gas Gas 300...coming off a long line of KTM's. I am very pleased to say the least.

That's good to hear. A buddy of mine just bought (and sold) a gas gas 180 trials bike, 2 stroke. It had been kept in rougher shape by the previous owner, but neither of us were impressed with the quality of castings, fittings, welds, etc. It was an early 90s model, I believe, so things have most likely improved.

Leaps and bounds better. Best turning bike I have ever owned, and the motor is ever so sweet.

They started getting good around 2008/9....and getting better every year

Chilly recently did a test on the '12.
