Love it . Very Government issued looking, NSA livery if you will. Already have a site picked out for a clandestine turn track, they'll never know I was there but for a black ribbon of dirt ... .

They'd do well to quit scratching & get moving on viable e-machines & soon, or they'll end up 2nd tier in the publics mind. When you ask someone about who makes electric cars, the answer you'll get isn't chevy bolt or Ford Escape-e. It's Tesla. .

Suppose the Swedish designed / engineered & manufactured in Spain could be mostly a proof-of-concept of the whole process to a degree. Guessing that the bigger picture is one of new & varied models, lowered production costs & higher volumes produced via an Indian manufacturing relationship...

€50 million investment in Stark Future by Royal Enfield parent company So the obvious question ; why ? Why would Stark Future need or want an investment from Eicher, LTD ? Stark appears to be fully capitalized & has approx 204 million in pre-orders on it's books & what appears to be a...

The more of these that get out there in the wild prior to our pre order deliveries the better IMO, as invariably there will be teething issues that haven't materialized during development & testing. Sure I'd rather have mine in May as opposed to August, but I'd also prefer to have any glitches...

Me too .. ??

Great detailed photos - thank you. Wonder why Stark feels the need for the faux radiator shrouds & al that associated supporting bodywork ? Guess so it looks like a 'normal' dirt bike visually .. but oh what could have been. Was it evident how the handlebar clamps mounted to the top triple...

I'd wager that Stark knows their market well & wont venture too far into the weeds regarding paid subscriptions. Seems the explanation currently on the website is fairly straightforward, although as mentioned ; subject to change prior to bikes being delivered. The one thing on the shared email...

Doubt you'd be able to get those custom Ohlins without buying a Cake .. Have seen some highly modded Surrons with the 43mm WP forks from the KTM SX85. 2018 & later are the air forks I believe. ( there's a set of 2021 SX85 forks on eBay currently ) You could also get the Ohlins STX 22...

The revolution appears to be fully underway.

Last paragraph ; " After six years in HRC colors, Roczen is now poised to sign a fresh contract for supercross racing in 2023 " Kenny is not under contract with anyone currently. He's a free agent.

Kennys initial impression of the Stark. Ken Roczen Tests Stark Varg Electric Dirt Bike - Racer X " .. hovering " ? An unusual description to be sure, but one can't question Kennys pedigree when it comes to dirt bikes.

Simple, elegant, 1st class fit & finish apparently - A genuinely beautiful piece of engineering. Hey - how's the seat ? like plywood ( Beta ! ) or goldilocks ( just right )

Received a similar call yesterday. Good of them for reaching out personally, that said, I reiterated to the caller that the best thing Stark could do while we all wait ( again ) would be to release a handful of bikes into the wild for evaluation & reporting.

We are all ears, care to elaborate if just a little ? Feel free to be as cryptic as is necessary ...

Original delivery for the 1st orders was indicated as Sept 22, revised now Aug of 23. 11 months .. not a great look, likely they were overambitious to begin with. Stark should get a few bikes stateside ( or somewhere ) & let the media test them under 'real world' conditions & report. Don't...

Production ready product in 23 for 24 delivery seems quite ambitious given that a working prototype doesn't appear to yet exist. Or have I got that wrong ? Assuming that Stark does in fact deliver the 1st production run in Dec / Jan as planned - you'll need to deliver something with an...

Unless you're tall & can easily reach the ground with both feet - consider doing everything possible to lower the bike if even a little for TKO. Kind've a dual edged sword - you'll scrape bottom more often but having the option to put a foot down in sketchy situations might keep you upright...

same .. 12/23/22 operative word ; estimated. I'm hopeful for a nice Christmas present.
