DAKAR RALLY MACHINE
The 2014 Dakar Rally starts on the 5th of January in Rosario, Argentina. At the start line, Honda’s factory bikes will line up with its many competitors in one of the toughest off-road races. Team HRC have just released pictures and some information on their competition bike, the CRF450 Rally, based on Honda’s commercial CRF450X enduro racing model. Honda state, “The resulting new CRF450 RALLY, as last year, retains the Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), the electronic fuel injection system that has shown proven performance in the severe and highly variable environmental conditions of the Dakar Rally. The new CRF450 RALLY will be used by TEAM HRC and will be released to other rally teams as a production rally machine during 2014.”
