Makes sense with the 515.
The GG race truck was in Morocco at the Rally du Moroc in early November.
Saw the GG truck but saw no GG bikes.

Rally du Moroc is generally seen as a training ground for the Paris Dakar race.

Found this on the web in relation to the photo.

//////////
I have no connections with the brand or the dealer, but i was really impressed with his initiative, and would like to know your opinion.

Dutch motorcycle dealer Pharao Bike has created an desert-bike based on a 450 or 515 GasGas.
Bike includes Navigation-kit (road book holder and ICO) Excel rims with strong spokes, suspension upgraded and big, 31 liter tank and rally fairing and lots more.

They plan to do the Heroes Legend rally for 2008 and the Dakar 2009.
//////////

Also says the rally bike setup was sold for Euro 17,000 or about USD25,000.
