Since the first ever Dark Dog Moto Tour in 2003, the scooter has been a part of it. We have become accustomed to seeing Yamaha T-Max, Gilera GP800 and Suzuki Burgmans showing up for the race. Well-known riders such as Etienne Godart, Dominique Sarron, Jacques Onda, Gilles Husson, Philippe Monneret, Yves Génies or Nicolas Dussauge have had their names engraved onto the trophies they have won in this category. Amateurs have also distinguished themselves there. Pierre Fredet is a prime example: second on a Yamaha T-Max in 2007, he gave an impressive performance on a Gilera GP800 in the Scooter category during the 2008 and 2009 Dark Dog Moto Tours.

For the 2012 event, the 10th outing of the biggest road rally, we have introduced some innovations! The Dark Dog Moto Tour is open this year not only to scooters but also to three-wheelers. At the Val-de-Reuil start line on 6th October, you will be able to see Piaggio MP3, Quadro and Can-Am. The great human and sporting adventure that is the Dark Dog Moto Tour is therefore now widely accessible to those who possess the category B driving licence. They will be able to experience an exceptional week, in true biker style, covering the 3000 km of the 2012 event. Two different classifications have been set up for the scooter and the three wheels category.
