What is the Baja 1000?

If you are just curious about Baja, this is probably the best documentary video out there because it's not just informative, but also funny with sort of a bitter sweet streak. I saw it when it first came out, and I thought it captured the friendly spirit and sheer challenge of it all. The footage is pretty amazing and my best friend liked it too, even though she is not into off road or motorcycles AT ALL. (And why not? It's got the spoils of victory and the agony of defeat, and it's all in HD!) -JR

What is the Best Bike For the Baja 1000?

Since there is obviously not a 'best bike' for anything, I'm sure you meant "what do most people run?"  A lot of the teams in Baja run a modified version of one of the bigger off road bikes, like an XR650L, KTM690 or equivalent, or a modified 450.  In general a bigger motor is considered more desirable and reliable for extended high speeds (lower RPM, less vibration, beefier parts and the hp to take them along for the ride.)  As always, the factory team bikes that win Baja are going to be tricked out, but not as much so as they are in motocross or supercross.  In other words, there's no reason that you can't build something competitive in the bike class.  The trophy truck class is where you need a gazillion dollars to compete.
