Breaking News regarding bike engine size regulations for Dakar 2010 (and 2011).
"On two wheels the measure was expected by many for a long time, indeed only bikes with engines of under 450cc will be accepted on the race for 2011. For 2010, an adjustment is kept for the amateurs owning 660cc allowing them to compete with a bridle. The professionals will compete on 450cc as soon as the next Dakar."

Does this mean BMW might put in a factory Dakar effort with the G450X in 2010/2011?
