The XT's glorious history - Paris to Dakar
In the very first Paris to Dakar (1979), the Yamaha XT500's won both first and second place! No BMWs even finished. That is why Yamaha has such a reputation in this market. Its been there and done it all.

How about that - it's our friend
Serge Bacou again sitting on the bike in the first photo. An ever-present in the Yamaha team for a decade.
Great nostalgic pictures. 
Here's the Giant Serge in action in colour...

Definitely! , and with the shocks/tyres /brakes of nearly 40 years ago still riding hard and fast in the Dakar. When you think what we all fit to our bikes just for 'leisure ' riding! .
