KTM Rally Replica | Dakar Dream Machine
Remember when Ducati and Honda started selling MotoGP bikes to normal* people" If you had a load of money, you could buy a Ducati Desmosedici, or a Honda RC213V-S.

And it?s the same machine that Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team riders will be campaigning in the 2022 Dakar Rally.

That?s because you can buy and convert a KTM 450 EXC for about £15,000. A KTM 450 Rally Factory Replica is about £27,000 (?25,900 plus VAT & shipping). Unfortunately our budget isn?t going to stretch that far.
So what?s so good about Rally Replicas, then" Are they really worth the extra £10k+" Well, if you?re competing in the Dakar rally, and any other rally raid events, for that matter, yes. If you can afford it, they?re abso...
