    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    I do not think it is an important question. Folks like 125cc bikes and folks like 500cc bikes. On the former, you pin and hold on and it does all its own traction control. On the latter, you feed the throttle gently and hope it doesn't kill you. It is fun either way. I am sure being able to pin...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    Lyndon had some heavier flywheels for sale, but nobody knows who bought them. A heavier flywheel reportedly saves a few seconds per lap at Glen Helen. I also think it is a must in the sand.

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    I noticed that, compared to the Alta, the 450's have a lot less wheelspin, and they throw a lot less roost. The wheelspin and the roost are all wasted energy. The 450's have very heavy flywheels. Their engines have to accelerate those flywheels. The flywheels reduce the wheelspin, but they...

    Stark VARG suspension choices

    I am wondering how closely Stark will actually be able to guess the spring rates and the damping rates that riders desire. Very few OEM suspensions are rideable from the showroom floor. Many come with a weird front/rear balance, most come undersprung, good only for slow beginner riders (who do...

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    I am hoping that Stark becomes successful enough before someone buys it. This was not just KTM but all the Japanese manufacturers will become afraid of it.

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    These days EV pre-orders can get you investments, valuations, IPOs, and buyout offers from bigger companies. Let's hope Stark draws KTM out of business before KTM offers to buy them out.

    Stark Varg foot or hand brake?

    I really wish there was the "Both Brakes" option. I really want two brakes! This is very likely the same Brembo master and slave cylinders as on the Alta. So the dual brake option, as described here, should work perfectly. I ordered the hand brake option. But I think I made a mistake. I might...

    What is the best rear brake option to choose? Has anyone noticed the Fasst Company return spring? 😀

    Stark Varg side stand option

    It is interesting that the side stand option has to be decided upon in the ordering process. I think it would be integrated into the frame, so this is why it needs to be decided upon when buying the bike. The foot peg mounts are aluminum. I am not sure I like this for durability and...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    The Stark Varg threads are are already in the Stark Varg forum! The things that you see in General are links. I am still working on organizing the forum. I have been waiting for a thing like this to happen for a long time, but Stark Varg has still caught me by surprise! :D

    Anton Wass interview - Stark Future Posted on December 14, 2021 on MXlarge.com When the press release dropped this morning that a new bike was being introduced to the market, well, I for one was surprised. For starters, I had never heard of Stark before and the fact this project has seemingly...
