Top Spanish trials rider Pol Tarres, has been heavily promoting the Yamaha T700 adventure bike this year, even riding one in the Africa Eco Race, a rally that follows the original route to Dakar, had earlier in 2022 become the first rider to take a twin cylinder bike above 6,000 metres on Cerro Mercedario in the Argentine Andes, ultimately reaching 6,157.5m (20,202 ft) to update the multi cylinder bike world mark and take it from the Africa Twin mark from 2017. Pol looks like he was using oxygen to assist acclimatization.
A video of the attempt is also below - he literally rode up the side of the mountain from about 3500 metres up. I have no doubt, that if he had attempted this at Ojos del Salado and if he knew the correct route to take there, he would have an world record for all motorcycles.
