Good thing that its main usecase with me is Sand MX, second Sand Enduro and third SM. I can't see any temperatures apart from what my camera can see on the outside .However the motor and inverter are liquid cooled. While charging the pump and blower are on so my guess is that the battery, wich...

Guestion for those more into battery tech. During sessions on the local SM track i can feel that 80 hp on the straight isn't 80 hp anymore after some sessions. The track day is 20-30 min riding, 30-40 minutes full power charging and that for a couple of times. Around the 2nd or 3rd session you...

Funny how wildly different the wishes are.

I would take up to 10kg heavier for extra range.

I take it you're familiar with the Dutch OTR season? I would love to do that on the Stark, however my MX is not street legal and the EX would maybe do it. However with the charge time as is its a bit of a stretch. Were the battery swappable enough (kinda is) AND the battery be chargeable...

That's one thing Zero did nail. You could buy adapters so you could add additional chargers. Still very slow, but the idea was right. If Stark were to do that as an option they could sell another charger, adapter and charge port. Neglecting some of that the bike is too good to require spare...

I did ride the normal version. Very good bike. Not as performance focussed as the Stark, but for exploring the area around Barcelona (been there Enduro riding a couple of times) it's a very good bike. Could be a customer that prepped its own bike?

Maybe this bike?

Did it look a bit like this? Royal Enfield presented this a time ago. The Stark motor with a dual Stark battery (roughly 14.4kWh) would actually be useful in Europe. IF it has fast charging.

No problems here. At home i charge it at low speed, but between motos at full. The reason being at lower speed there are a tadd less losses and less change of blowing a fuse in the house. We have 16A 230. But it's not the only consumer plugged in. If the battery is near the same quality as cars...

One of the problems for HD. They build bikes like they always did. Kind of cool for the heritage thing, but why buy a new one that's like the old one. Those are also not bikes that get ridden hard. Suzuki MX bikes are almost the same as 2 decades ago, but there are plenty of reasons to buy a new...

Does sound good enough for me. I did get the change to ride an SM on slicks that were cold and that was downright dangerous. Not nearly as much grip as my skinny ADV tyres, that's something i don't want. But perfect is far from what i need offcourse.

But what if you Italians started working full time? 😜 Politcal jokes aside, i don't think you can compare Euro to Euro or Dollar to Dollar. Sure people in the US get paid more than mostly anybody else, but a lott of what Europeans ''get for free'' is a luxory or extra in the US. Health care...

160 wide? And do you use/need tyre heaters?

Super. I have to order today before 17:00 (set for '22 KTM). But that's just the rims. Tyres can wait a bit.
