Australian Championship shows why the AMA has banned Stark. It ain’t Safety.

[Erwin P]

It very much depends on what tracks you run. In sand and especially tight sand tracks there is no bike that matches it when it comes to lap times. It does have a hard time to finish a 30 min +2 lap moto with a pro on it though.

Hard pack it's more on equal foot with the 4 strokes but most are faster on the Stark.

Where the Stark really suffers is on the "washboards". Stark themselves admitted that as well. They just couldn't get the suspension to do what they want. They "blamed" it on the bike behaving different due to the more centraliced mass and suspension tuners having to learn their way around this new balance of things. This was however on the MX1.0. Maybe the new tuning is better.

Out of the box the Stark 1.0 had a tough time on our Sand tracks since it was nosediving in the corners. But so are most bikes and every bike is sent to a suspension tuner. People just hoped that with the suspension set to your weight they wouldn't need to revalve it. They only did not need to replace the spring anymore wich saved them some.
It took the Dutch tuners a while to get the bikes right, but now the suspensions are on equal foot with anything else comming from the tuner.
Since washboards arn't a serious part of our tracks the Starks do really well.

I couldn't get through practise and one moto to start with even charging it in between.
A days racing was out of the question.
skip practise and have it going into limp in the last moto like f .
like jeffs video at glen helen
Now i think maybe i can do a full race day.
Everything is run back to back here no lunch break so in 5 and a half hours the bike needs to run for 120 minutes
(that's four full tanks of fuel)
and charge in between wouldn't do it .
My dte 100 to 0 was 32 minutes im sure you can see it was no good .
Things are a lot better now i have it nailed down.
I don't mean power its timid for me i mean real pace and finish.

 

[markhamr]

i am faster on the 450 over 1 moto
maybe i have battery anxiety

 

[DaveAusNor]

with nothing to add in this world

Take it easy Mark.
You write that it's not a pissing competition but constantly brag about yourself as if you're a pro racer and then hate on others when they say they can do the same thing. You speak of "keyboard warriors" as if it doesn't include yourself. Plenty of blokes on here posting videos of themselves participating in events etc, but we've seen nothing from you except boasting about how fast you can ride around your farm. Take a moment of reflection before talking down on others.

 

[markhamr]

i never said i was fast dave
and i am not talking anyone down at all
i would never pretend i am a pro or fast whatever that means
I don't need to make a promotional video to prove myself
I am just trying to engineer a good mx bike
I take it by keyboard warriors you do mean those that don't actually do the testing riding and
sort out the associated problems to making a better ecycle.

 

[markhamr]

Stark have all my data if they have a problem with what i have said.

 

[markhamr]

round the farm that's a joke surely

 

[markhamr]

suspension i didn't have a problem with i ran phillips 2 settings went back to the first one and one less clik from him
in the rear,
thats all it needed for me its kyb top of the line you can do anything with it.
I had a chat with my dealer to make sure it came correct with the right springs
The major step was the 14 tooth front sprocket night and day for me
range and kept its head up
and lol dave i want to see vic go 150 ever day
if he posts a vid of him doing that every day for a week ill post one too
on a bike not first class in a aeroplane
i will even spot him a hundred extra metres from a stand to get there. 0 to 150mph in 500 mtrs

 

[markhamr]

even my 1992 gsxr1100 would do that
here we go again 30 yr old japanese bike versus a stark

 

[vic321]

can you get there in 400 mtrs
top speed is 349.17 kph

Yes, I could if i want. Boss Hoss 502 tuned on german autobahn. But nothing to brag about, does not make your postings any better. And we already know that you can only drive outdated ICE vehicles. High torque on electric vehicles is nothing you can handle.

 

[markhamr]

k step it up then
kool maybe u like to play
go to Hockenheim run 150 in a vid
ill mach it on m 20 yr old street bike

 

[markhamr]

i only ride slow vic

 

[markhamr]

besides its only a old slow japanese normally aspirated commuter stink bike
no power adders pump gas .because electric bikes have scary power don't they lol

 

[markhamr]

is the boss hoss a trike lol

 

[markhamr]

and good luck going 150 on the 1/4 with that thing
u have a hp advantage but mine weighs 220 kg
