Chinese Bike and the Dakar Rally

………..so much for “Chinese shit bikes” eh?

The Kove Rally Team entered three bikes and all three finished the toughest race in the world with their highest placed rider making it to 46th place.

Not bad for a first attempt………who’s next?……Royal Enfield?

I had a CFMOTO 650, their race version came 4th at the TT, it was close to coming in 3rd place.

They made an engine that finished 46th, lets be happy but not throw fireworks! Roll on 2024

It’s a major achievement and that’s a fact.

Wouldn’t have been fair on the rest.

That’s true that is, I mean the desert is a big place but still not many passing places to around the Harley when it’s broken down.

Ha ha ha 2,500 klms……..such a long way. Some of the stages in the Dakar start with a 200 klm liaison stage from the previous bivouac followed by 400-500 klms off road to the finish and then another couple of hundred klms to the next bivouac………🤣🤣

THE highly capable Joan Pedrero dragged the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 through the 1000 Dunas Raid this weekend. 😉
