Hi just got back from the Aussie Condo 750 2 day Rallye in NSW. Its run the same as the Safari but for only 2 days, full road book only navigation rallye.
6 Berg 650's entered and all 6 finished, but a few flat tyres prevented a top 10 finish for the fastest guy.
74 bikes entered, best placed Berg was 25th.
It was a fantastic rallye, very navigation intensive and great terrain, a total hoot all weekend. The course was very tight, rocky and technical at times then also flat out 160+kph blast in others areas as well, a real mix of riding and navigation demands and technique needed.
The whole event was organised VERY well, very enjoyable, fantastic weather, in all had a great time. Day 1 was much more challenging re navigation (which suited me) and then whereas day 2 was much more technical riding and less navigation due to the Autos having done it the day before so plenty of tracks, berms & ruts to follow and just being plain fast was more important.
Some good links here with photos and interviews.

A few shots of me #29, Gazza #17 and Ray #71 and Tony our support. We all had a great time and will be high chance of going back next year.
The Bergs were fantastic, great light weight & handling perfect for the event.
And as we 650 owners all know the power !!!! not too much else out there that will change up to 6th at 130kph and wheel spin launching itself forward !! just a great grinning stupid fun machine, both Gazza and I concluded that once anyone has ridden one there is no way you wouldn’t want one……………………. :twisted:
Cheers
