This is the revised Paris Dakar built from 1990, sharing the 60 hp boxer, Paralever rear and long-range 35-litre tank of the original, with minor changes for the 1991 model year. Factory versions came with hard luggage and heated grips, and it stayed the long-distance flagship of the two-valve GS range.
