OverviewFrom the scorching sands of Mauritania to the towering dunes of Saudi Arabia, KTM vs Yamaha: The Motorcycle Wars of the Desert chronicles one of motorsport's greatest rivalries. For over four decades, these two motorcycle giants clashed in the unforgiving world of rally raid-engineering machines that conquered continents and training riders who defied death in the name of victory. This is the full-throttle story of how Yamaha laid the foundations of Dakar greatness in the 1980s and '90s, and how KTM rose from Alpine underdog to desert emperor in the decades that followed. Inside, readers meet the legends-Peterhansel, Meoni, Coma, Price-and explore the groundbreaking bikes that changed the sport. From factory warfare to privateer rebellion, from psychological collapse to technological triumph, this book captures it all in riveting, real-world detail. With vivid storytelling, deep research, and unmatched scope, KTM vs Yamaha is not just about racing-it's about obsession, resilience, and what it means to battle across 10,000 kilometers of dust, pain, and glory.
