    Saw him on the bike about three weeks ago in the Mojave river . It’s amazing to watch someone so natural riding fast on a rally bike. Go Skyler!

    Go Skyler 23' Dakar!! Big Fan bro! Like the stegpeg like leg grip pads. Those look way more comfortable than pegs.

    Those front tanks are amazing with the litre graduations. I would love to have those on a dual sport.

    I really want a consumer version of this bike for doing long roadtrips! Way better IMO than a Tenere 700.

    The T7 is a great bike. I actually have a Husqvarna 701 Enduro with a rally tower, and auxiliary fuel tank. Great bike!

    This was very interesting - thanks for sharing! I assume not, but the 450 engine in these race bikes, is it the stock engine from an exc 450? If not stock, do you know what’s done to them?

    The motors in these bikes start off as stock, then they are massaged by a team of engineers to get performance and reliability just right.

    Sorry for the dumb question. But I often see this kind of grips on various rally motorcycle builds. Can I ask about them? Producer? Model? Thanks in advance!

    Those front tanks are awesome. Are they available to the public?

    I know you can buy a complete replica rally bike, but adding them on to an existing bike would be challenging unless the whole bike is reconfigured for that.

    That scroll waypoints looks so primitive nowadays....... You should have holographic display map in your helmet .....

    It's how they have always done it, and in my opinion it's part of the challenge for these guys.

    Do the rules require that HUGE silencer?

    That's a good question. The whole intake/engine/exhaust is finely tuned, so I'm sure the Husq engineers have it figured out.

    KTM has a rally bike that you can buy that is close to this.
