Honda ready to go at Australasian Safari

The GHR Honda Racing Team comprises experienced safari riders, Jacob Smith and Todd Smith. Twenty-two year old Smith competed in the Dakar Rally earlier in 2011 and showed his endurance when he finished the strenuous race in 32nd position with the GHR Honda Racing team. Hopes are high that with further development of his Honda CRF450X Smith, along with his team mate, will have enough stamina and determination needed to achieve excellent results in the 2011 Australasian Safari, the local equivalent of the gruelling Dakar Rally.

With its powerful four-stroke, 449cc liquid-cooled Unicam engine, along with tuned suspension and chassis, the CRF450X is Honda's enduro off-road shining star and the team at GHR Honda Racing have keenly focused on further advancements to the model in preparation for the 2011 Safari.

The Australasian Safari kicks off on September 22 at Hillarys Boat Harbour and will take competitors through 3700kms of the rugged and remote WA outback, finishing in Kalgoorlie on September 30.
