The Day Honda Ended KTM’s Dakar Domination!

The day KTM's 18 year long Dakar domination ended was a day of joy for Honda. But not many know about the long, tedious efforts the manufacturer had to go through to get there!

Paulo Gonçalves is with the rally gods now...RIP hero!

[stijnvandenhul]

I love the idea for a video of the road books. And a amazing video as always

I’ve been a AAA Plus member for decades and remember having spiral bound maps almost exactly like you showed here. What a life saver they were especially when your co-pilot, girlfriend, kept you up to speed at the perfect time every time. Thanks again for your excellent work and rekindling memories I’d completely forgotten about.

Please do an episode about the Dakar maps. Very familiar with automotive rally notes but not so much about Dakar itself. This looks really interesting.

For the record, Honda had four Dakar wins from 1986 thru 1989. That was before anyone had heard of KTM.

[annmariebarsanti]

Love your videos!!! The production and transitions are excellent! Love the "spot on" historic review of the legendary race! Keep them coming!

[janniksims]

Great video, but it feels a bit like a missed opportunity to talk about the Baja 1000, which hinder dominated in the same fashion KTM did. Since 1997 only 2 other brands could take a win away from Honda. One year it was Kawasaki and one year it was KTM

It´s been over 3 decades since I was really into the Dakar, but I truly enjoy all your documenaries about everything surrounding it (plus all the other ones). They arere a joy to watch. Great job man. Thanks!

[alharris]

Really glad i discovered your channel.
Probably the best motorcycle content channel on YouTube.
Well done, Sir 👍🏼👊🏼👍🏼

[NZCycletherapy]

You’ve done it again my friend, outstanding research and gathering of material and putting it all together into a thoroughly educational and entertaining package. 😊

[risqufaris]

This content is golden. Nice story telling. Made me wanna dive more into rally

[mikeisland]

Interesting that they were considering selling rally tank "kits". Surprises me KTM and Honda don't offer these tanks to the dual sport world. Great video.

Krankit (?) your content, narration, insight and professional approach is next level. Thank you for your good work. I learn so much from your material.

I was there in the race where he broke his neck in Idaho (NHHA race), I was a few minutes behind him and as I came by I stopped to see if he was OK. He was pretty jacked up to say the least. However the even more amazing thing is that he came back a few months later to win the next NHHA race 1st OA. Dude is a MACHINE!!

Great work! I enjoyed this video even more than the last ones

[Itzmesuryaa]

Krankit, you are presenting it in such a fresh perspective! I am loving the content ....subbed!

[NesherAmir]

Great production again!
I enjoyed every second of it :)
