Le Dakar. It's a part of motorcycling pop culture; iconic, legendary, tough and despite its popularity, enigmatic. The question of what a Dakar bike is like to ride is a conversation every dirt bike rider and KTM 950 owner has had. Those KTM 950 owners, as well as lots of Africa Twin owners like to recycle the story about how similar their bikes are to the Dakar racers they're based on. After all, Dakar does has some semblance of a production rule.

And that is how this video was born. Is a Dakar bike and an Adventure bike comparable, even if you spend a lot of money? Could you finish Dakar on a really well prepared Tenere 700 if the 450 rule didn't exist? If they're not equal, how big is the gap?

Hopeful I've answered the question, can a Yamaha Tenere 700 be better than a Dakar Bike?
