Dirt Rider used their long term 2006 Husaberg FE650 which survived last years 24 Hour Test unscathed and ran it again in this years 24 Hour Test.
It survived! Other than a loose battery connection, the bike ran FLAWLESSLY!!!!!
I do not recall Dirt Rider ever using the same motorcycle for this event 2 years in a row. Plus using the same bike during the year as well and having zero reliability issues.
Now according to the article, Jimmy Lewis did drop the bike at home, onto its left side, punching a hole in the side case.
