This will be raced in the Baja 1000 and the 2013 Dakar. I so wish a street version would be made avaialble to the public.

Looks awesome. Does it have a second gas tank behind the seat? Looks mighty bulbous back there

I'm going to say yes on the 2nd tank because the 450x they ran at Dakar had that set up last year. Thats why they use the low pipe.

You don't need this much fuel capacity or navigation for Baja and the article doesn't mention this being a Baja bike. Pretty sure its just for Dakar.

Yeah, I believe you're right on that. JC will be on Honda's Dakar team.

Thats cool. He's been involved as a team owner. His JCR shop built the bike Quinn Cody raced the last two years. IIRC, there is a build thread on ADVrider for the 2012 bike.
