    They probably spent a fortune on the bikes for Dakar, so why waste it. Pretty interesting stuff.

    Absolutley $$$$, they pretty much just used the G450X as a base and went crazy from there with all their own engineering and fab.

    Yep, another reason (build a better machine) why you gotta race ... And these guys are not through spending yet ...

    With the bike finally named correctly, maybe they'll achieve more podium time? ...

    They lost their Kymco engine contract. And SP wasn't about to sign them with KTM. And... okay, I'm not going there.. :)
