This is the bike that ended Honda's long Dakar drought: Ricky Brabec won the 2020 rally, the first held in Saudi Arabia, becoming the first American winner and breaking KTM's run of 18 straight victories. It was Honda's first Dakar win since the NXR750 era of 1986-1989, with a Termignoni exhaust and carbon bodywork on the proven 450 single.
