Experience Morocco with Honda and Mick Extance

Press release from Honda Britain’s Dakar endurance rider Mick Extance is to lead two eight-day and two ten-day trips of a lifetime in Morocco. Riders will experience some of the most diverse and adventurous terrain in the world to include the famous Atlas mountain range, lush river valleys, beautiful sandy coasts and wide expanses of desert. Each adventure trip begins in Ouazarzate – the gateway to the Sahara - before taking in the stunning scenery through Chicaga, Tafrout, Merzouga and Boulmane Dades through the amazing Dades Gorge.

Surely more wins are on the cards for Seeley and the 2011 Gixer?

The amazing Alex Lowes is deservedly grabbing all the attention in the BSB paddock at the moment, but I believe last year’s top Superbike rookie, Alistair Seeley is doing an equally impressive job in the Supersport class. Although he looks ten years younger, thirty one year old Seeley  is riding one of only two 2011 600 GSXRs (fellow countryman Marty Nutt is on the other) in the class. Alistair has finished on the podium four times including a race win at the opening Brand Hatch round and currently lies second in the championship.  He also took victory on the Gixer in the only race run at the North West 200 last month and was looking like the runaway winner last Sunday at Thruxton until electrical gremlins struck after opening up a seven second lead.

Team HRC CRF450 Rally Prototype Video

In a just released video HRC Team Director Katsumi Yamazaki describes Honda’s Dakar weapon, the CRF450 Rally. Warning: Yamazaki-san’s monotone delivery manages to snuff the excitement factor of what is an incredibly trick motorcycle, but it’s still interesting to watch. Honda returned to the Dakar Rally for the first time in 24 years in January 2013.
