Is it possible to race a modern adventure bike in a desert rally race? That’s the question we asked after watching Paris-Dakar videos from the early ‘90s. So we decided to create a modern version of Suzuki's legendary DR Big Paris-Dakar racer. We spent months building a 2023 V-Strom 800DE for the 2024 NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally, and now it’s time to go racing! Will we make it to the finish? <br /><br />Ride along with Cycle World as we race 1350 miles through Baja, Mexico. <br /><br />Build video: https://youtu.be/-5j7Ue_tQwE?si=OlaLx5NANbcexQhS<br /><br />Subscribe to Cycle World Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/c/cycleworld?sub_confirmation=1<br />Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6CLI74xvMBFLDOC1tQaCOQ<br />Read more from Cycle World: https://www.cycleworld.com/<br />Buy Cycle World Merch: https://teespring.com/stores/cycleworld
