Is this the new Dakar?
Could this be the much anticipated return of the Dakar?

If it is i love it already, looks nice. But what is the decal on there SERTAO wonder what that is. Would love to see the Dakar make a comeback. Its such an extremly great piece of kit.

The only thing that concerns me is the fact that it's based on the 2011 G650GS with the smaller fuel tank! Why on earth did BMW decide to replace the old 17l tank with a 14l tank?
I hope the Sertao comes with a bigger fuel tank!

Dakar name is history.
It's now Sertão, Portuguese term for backcountry or backlands.
This bike will also be assembled in Brazil along with the G650GS, F800GS and F800R.
... it has hand protectors and a bash plate as well as spoked wheels - those are normally extras for the South African market!
If I'm wrong WELL DONE BMW FOR HEARING US!
(Apologies for the cynicysm - bad hair day - came to work by car instead of using the bike).
Why in the car Pete ?....I have seen that drainpipe on your bike......surely the threat of rain did not worry you 
Nice! pity about the tank size.

My doctor told me I'm allergic to slippery surfaces
Nice to see the Dakar making a return.
Shame about the tank size, although with the price of fuel maybe they thought we can't afford filling a 17L tank.
The only problem with the spokes are that they are in the centre of the rim, no going tubeless!
