Dakar racer, adventurer, and star of the Races to Places YouTube series, Lyndon Poskitt is giving fans the chance to win a top-spec rally bike.

The competition will see the winner take home a Lyndon Poskitt Racing-prepared (LPR) 732 Factory Rally Adventure Bike, based on a modified KTM 690 Rally Replica.

Named the Basil Bike after his grandfather, the adventure rider rode the Rally for 145,000 miles, through 74 countries in six continents and participated in many races around the globe.

Due to the popularity of his YouTube videos, requests from all over the world came in for replica versions of the Basil. So Poskitt, over a period of 10 years, built 34 Racing Factory Rally Adventure bikes and many more LPR732cc LC4 Adventure / Racing performance engines.

Poskitt said: “I wanted to mark the end of this era with something special and as such, I have managed to get my hands on one more bike, of which will be carefully built into the same specification of Basil Bike for one last time and better still I will give the bike away in a competition / raffle in 2023. The bike will be named Felix, a name with Latin roots meaning fortunate, happy, and lucky.”

To be in with a shout of winning, you need to answer a question online and purchase a ticket for £25 – with the winner announced at the ABR Festival, this coming June.

Half the money will go to charities and good causes, with the rest going towards a new project being worked on by Lyndon and his team. Visit lyndonposkittracing.com for details.

News Editor - I joined the MCN team straight from studying at the University of Sheffield, having achieved Class One Honours in Journalism Studies and a Gold Standard Level 3 Diploma in Journalism from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). I started out as Acting Consumer Editor, before becoming the Senior Online Reporter, Senior Writer and more recently the News Editor. Although my first love will always be performance bikes and racing, I have a passion for all things two-wheeled. I have reported on everything from breaking new bike news to charity fund raising, as well as attending countless international new model launches and nurturing the growth of MCN’s amazing YouTube channel alongside a very talented team. I did my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) on my 16th birthday and passed my full test around a year later. I now covers around 20,000 road miles a year on motorcycles of all genres and in all weathers. I have also experienced elements of advanced rider training, tackled countless UK and international short circuits and achieved an ACU race licence to begin a fledgling competition career. When I’m not at the track, I can be found chugging along the back lanes aboard my Royal Enfield Classic 350 two-up with my girlfriend.
