What is the Baja 1000?
If you are 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!) -JRWhat is the Best Bike For the Baja 1000?
If you asked me a year ago I'd have said "Whichever bike Johnny
Campbell is on!" I can't say that now, dang. (I love to watch that
guy.) Seriously though, since there is not a 'best bike' for anything, I'm
sure you meant "what do most people run?" I can't give you a
numerical breakdown but 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 else a modified 450.
It's a long race and (in general) the bigger motors are considered
more desirable for extended high speeds. The factory team bikes that
win are obviously going to be tricked out and modified, but I
don't think as much so as they are in motocross. In other words,
there's no reason you can't build something competitive on two
wheels. The trophy truck class is where you need a gazillion dollars
to compete. Baja is all about the 'run what you brung' attitude
anyway. People do it in VW bugs! When it comes to picking the 'best'
of pretty much anything, all I can say is that you can't
say. Every win is the result of an @#!$load of hard work,
1000 decisions based on experience, one decision based on a hunch, and one
lucky break. -JL
