Greatest RD03-RD04 Dakar Riders Ever

[Wingnut]

Anton 88 got my head going with all the mad work he did to his bike . So off I went spanners in hand . In the middle of the strip ,I'm in the grip youtube Paris Dakar tributes , and now cannot bring my self to changing the paint work , feels like Id be covering what the bike is ,what the bikes have done , I be kinda making it anonymous if I changed the colors .
So my quest within a quest is to ask you, the keepers of the asylum who is the one rider most widely accepted as the face of the Africa twin? excluding your self of course.

I'm going to Dakar my bike i.e. a replica of a famous riders mount.

Note for wife:
Im not going to Dakar ,Im going to add to the existing colour scheme to make it look like a twin that ran in the famous Paris to Dakar Races.

Well it really can be any of the Dakar RD03/4 riders, if you are making a replica what about a set of rear Marathon panels, several of us on here are building bikes with the Marathon panels that I now have available.

OK look good . Question was the marathon the only official Honda XRV @ to take part in the race. Ive started trawling the web to put the story together so apologies if I get it side ways around this.

Are you guys running a group within a group ( XRV Dakar Specific?)

I think Cyril Neveu should get a mention, Winning twice on the NXR750,once on the xr550, and twice on an xt.That's about as good as it gets.Though Boboneleg has been known to give a twin a good thrashing......


And for a modern rider still riding an RD04,The winner is.........Francesco, by a sandy mile.
