2014 Dakar motorcycle preparation videos
This page has a collection of Dakar motorcycle preparation videos. See the different teams and the manner in which they have prepared for the “journey” across South America. The scale of logistics required for an event like this to race day after day, with very few rest days, is huge. But, given that external support is not allowed, the motorcycles that participate in the Dakar Rally need to be prepared to the highest levels.
The Dakar Rally starts on 5 Jan, 2014.
Ducati India? Soon.
Ducati has been in India before, without much success. Their latest news release says that they intend to come back to India officially with new partners. Don’t hold your breath for Ducati India though, it will not be cheap or affordable, like most expect any incoming manufacturer these days. Since the do not produce them here, there will not be any financial advantage to the brand. And, given that most Ducatis are more expensive than their traditional Japanese counterparts, expect to see prices over 10 lakhs for the more desirable of the lot. The smaller Monsters may be priced under 10 lakh though.
No idea about the dates though.
