    Stark actually profitable... kinda

    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...

    The big Stark Varg supermoto information topic

    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.

    Stark actually profitable... kinda

    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?

    The big Stark Varg supermoto information topic

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

    Thanks! And can someone maybe confirm a 5.00 with a 160 will fit?

    The big Stark Varg supermoto information topic

    I got the Stark MX and some Beta 2 strokes. Some while ago i found the joy of SM riding on karting circuits. Done 2 ''track days'' now. However still on the 21-19 with streettyres (Avon Trailrider). I got a good offer on a set of 17' 3.50 and 5.00 wheels that not only fit my Stark, but also my...

    Portable charger

    Yess and no. For commuting that would be a significant win. However for Enduro riding that would be too exposed for my liking but more imporantly it is taking real estate my butt wants and needs in Enduro.

    Portable charger

    Well what is considerable? I think 1 or even 0,8 kW could make it a viable commuter for me. That would also make trips with overnight stay in cabins possible without needing to haul the huge charger around.

    Portable charger

    Would be great if there was one with a form factor that could fit under the fairings somewhere.

    Varg Weights

    I think you got your units mixed up. 110 kg is 242lbs. Stark Varg MX is 118kg (260 lbs) or 122kg (268 lbs) with tubes that hold. A 18 - 26 lbs weight gap instead of over 50... Add to that a lower center of mass, less rotational force and no free liquid moving about on top of the bike and it...

    Varg Weights

    We're comparing a MX with an Enduro. Comparing to a YZ would be more fair and that sucks harder at enduro stuff.

    Varg Weights

    Speaking for the MX. The stock front fork is quite stiff on both compression and rebound. Thus making it hard to lift te front. It's an MX bike and wheeliing over stuf wasn't their main concern.

    Stark Varg Stolen 4-27-2025

    Sorry to hear! So you know wich parts are locked? Just the VCU or are the Battery and Drivertrain also disabled now?

    NACS or CCS Varg charging

    Yes but that won't help. The AC chargers still need the Stark charger. Only DC chargers could be made working with the Stark as is.

    Here is my major rub with Stark.

    Not that i know of. And if so they last way longer than 2 or 4 stroke MX bikes. Sure 3500 is a lott. But so is 3x 1800...

    Here is my major rub with Stark.

    So far customer support has been great for me. However i feel the same and at the same time don't. What fails on an EV motor are the bearings (wich any idiot can replace) of the windings go bad. The latter i would have a shop rewinding. They do sell the countershaft and all parts related. But...

    2025 KTM Freeride E

    True. If the EX had an onboard charger it would replace my MX and my Zero DS (commuter bike). That way i would have allready ordered it, but as it stands now it's a bit too hard pill to swallow for the extra i get. My workdays are 8 hours. Even a 900W charger would suffice. So yeah if the KTM...

    I very much agree the Stark EX needs a onboard charger or room to take one with you.

    Do our Vargs actually, "regen"?

    It was a very long pull and saw 3%. We don't actually have downhills where i live. But was very much a test whether it was possible anyway, not something practical. However in the Balkans i did ride some routes with very very very long street downhills. If i were to extrapolate this i could...
