Iron Butt Rally - 2009
Someday I'd love to be the first to compete on an FZ6. These guys are absolutely crazy and truly hard-core. :rockon:
I've been following the story of a guy who's riding a 1975 Suzuki RE-5 in the rally. I'm sure they'll follow him closely. For those who don't know, the RE-5 has a ROTARY engine! Personally, I doubt he'll get 1000 miles on it (finishers often ride about 11,000 miles over the 11-day rally). Still, you gotta admire the guts of someone in the 'hopeless' class. A Ninja 250 and a Sportster have done well in the past, so anything is possible.
