The average of a Harley buyer is over 50 these days. A 65 year old today was 30 in early 90s, and probably came in at the tail end of the culture that esteemed those machines. My brother and his ex both bought Harleys in the 90s time period and he is nearing his mid 60s. They sold them after 5...

I think it depends on how and where you ride. I have the lightest suspension on the MX and it is much stiffer than most people like for trail riding/enduro. I love it, but MX stiff is not for everyone. The EX has lighter suspension (I might say plusher but I haven't ridden it I am going by...

Yes. The US is a big market but there is not really a motorcycle culture here. And there has never been the embrace of dirtbikes or two wheeled vehicles because they have always been viewed as just toys rather than transportation. Europe and other parts of the world motorcycles are working...

Agreed it is pretty surprising. In the US there is a strong anti E sentiment in some corners so it is surprising how well Stark is still doing even in the US. Probably some pent up demand for the EX too. I imagine Stark will have to move into other areas. The boutique market for dirtbikes is...

Gnarly hills where there is often just one tire line --and where jumping out of the line is all you got-- and you need the HP to hit it where no one else had just to save yourself. That will make you very happy you have 60 or even 80 to use. Otherwise you get to practice using crawl and reverse...

I just posted today in the Lost & Stolen section my recommendation of Progressive policy for ATV/UTV/Dirtbikes. They insure unregistered OHVs which is great. The cost is good and the coverage is good as well.

Just an update/information. First my bike has not been recovered. For those in the US: a) Some (not all) homeowners policies cover when things are stolen from your home/garage --including personal property in your plan makes a difference check your policy. b) Progressive Insurance offers very...

I recommend an open field or somewhere that you can open it up safely. Tight trails with a lot of trees is not recommended first time. The throttle is graduated so you won't loop out with more HP unless you blast wide open with great traction, otherwise given the weight distribution of the...

@Karinshi I wouldn't force the bike to 100%. Actually I never charge my battery that high with my system which is working properly. I keep it below 95% and 90% is even better if you can get enough riding time. I am guessing you have some bad cells in your battery that are on the edge. Have you...

This^^^ @Karinshi if you have a pending update you may want to do that before you do anything else. You may even want to do a firmware update regardless if an update is pending. Also I wouldn't do that button sequence after the bike detects full charge on a regular basis, it might damage or...

Shit my brother, you sure you weren't a lot lighter because of the weight those titaniums removed from you wallet?🤑

I am with @markhamr. I had the 80 with an 18" rear and foot brake. My bike was near perfect for me. Absolutely loved it and is what I am going to replace my stolen bike with again. BTW the only aftermarkets I added were Acerbis handguards, IRC heavy duty tubes, and an AXP extended skid plate...

@markhamr I meant rolling it if broken down with no ability to do anything but red light. Agree with chain breaker, but I hate to do stuff like that just to push bike out of the woods or to a clearing. Agree on the really quick too. I had a jam on one of my old KTMs, I was lucky to get to the...

Yes power on is all they can do. Which is what I want so then Stark can provide the coordinates to the police. It is the bike itself. It is similar to upgrading the firmware, the bike can connect to Stark without the phone at all. Also I am lucky I still have the phone. The phone is matched...

The WR450 is only 10 years old and that lady would take offense if you called her 30... The XR ya ok close to 30, but she was never an old hag and got me home many times when others could not...:ricky:

I have found changing technique helps a lot with wheeling and wheeling obstacles (which is common for the riding I do) with the Stark. With ICE bikes you can use more limited throttle because the clutch often acts like an alternate or second throttle if you will. So we have gotten into the habit...

Yes I have told the police about it. One thing the Stark folks noted was there are some limits since some of the interactions require the presence of the Blue Tooth connected phone (I still have the phone). They were able to see the last time my bike was powered on with coordinates which was...

I am smaller and I can handle the Varg weight wise no problem. Just to be clear the left hand brake is braking not slipping like a rekluse. The throttle control on the Varg can only be described as awesome, it is fly by wire and gives you orders of magnitude more control than a clutching...

Not exactly sure, I think it is VCU and Drivetrain. Less sure on the battery, I know for sure the CMOS would be alive. I am thinking one of the discussion threads a while back may have been a case of a factory lock now that I have to think of it for real (say maybe for a loan default). That...
