BMW and the Dakar, again???

[Bookum]

Will this wunderbah new bike be BMW's RE-entry into the Dakar Rally? (PLEASE SAY YES!) It seems like the F800GS might be the perfect platform for a new race bike. After all, Richard Sainct (R.I.P.) had how many wins on board an F model... [clap]

I'm probably wrong but I thought I had heard something about a new maximum CC limit for motorcycles in the Dakar.

The displacement limit for the Dakar is now 650cc. If BMW is going to be involved it would have to be based on the XChallenge or the new 450.
