Correct the reading for different sprockets.

15 does fit on the MX.

With the 15 it's still bloody fast in acceleration as well. On 60 hp it will still backflip from a standstill with 15-48. You can use the KTM/Beta sprockets as well as those from all Starks. Mind you, the speedo will give a wrong reading.

The one does not rule out the other and one war is not every war ;)

Well that makes live a bit harder to make something fit.

I think that Stark's competition that they're revering to is KTM. Stark has the same kind of shouty "fast 'n loud" approach as KTM and attract kind of the same people. Also KTM is pretty much the leader where it comes to performance. So those are the guys to challenge and rever to.

We actually come from ADV riding. We went from the Netherlands to Morocco over the TET on our KTM 990 ADV and Versys 300. With the KTM 990 the range anxiety is real although it has a 19,5L fuel tank. But opposite to an E the range actually gets worse when traveling slowly off-road. That's why...

Solar panels are hardly usable to charge your phone during a break. However as it has a fast DC charger AND at least a 12kW AC you could charge anywhere in Western Europe pretty fast. An household outlet/adapter is also needed for those slow pace charging anywhere. If you look up a map of...

He said 50% more power. Didn't really hear him talking about the competition regaridng power so could be comparing to the Varg? 120hp would sound like a good target for an ADV and wouldn't add that much weight. Their drivetrain is pretty beavy as is. The cogs in the gearing are as beavy as in a...

@Beagle The Tenere is a 700 so doesn't really count as well then ;) The "800" class is often describing the 700-900. That does incluide some pricy bikes like the 890R wich was a huge sales succes (they still managed to overproduce but still). DesertX, 900GS, Tiger 800/900 etc etc. 18K is...

Take a look at the Energica Experia for reverence. That has much longer range than 3x the Varg with just 3x the battery. It's clise to say a Tenere in range, i would say 2/3 of range. That has gearing set for higher speeds etc etc.

I've had a 110-80-19 on tarmac and you'd be amazed by the grip you get even on 80 hp.

Now you're talking the cheap baseline while a Stark Varg (wich you use as a baseline for price) has a way higher speced suspension etc. So either they can go with much lower specs OR compare to higher specs/priced bikes like the 890R and Desert X wich are in the 18K range. That should add plenty...

140 is indeed Enduro standard. However not all 140 are equal. 140 Enduro tyres are made for 2.15 rims. 140 "street/allroad/Adventure" often for 3.50-4.00 making them a less proper fit on the 2.15 Stark. A 110 to 130 will be a better fit.

Wat too wide. Those 150's are always made for 4.00 rims so the will pretty much fold by how round they will pull. 140 are often made for 3.00 rims. 140 Enduro tyres are often just 120 but with 20 of knobs.

I just saw a EX yesterday (from Germany) and it didn't have to pointy footpegs (points were flattend). I think because that won't be street legal.

You can't rum them tubeless on the OEM wheels. 150 is way too wide. Will do very funny things to the rounding of the tyre. I would go for 120/130 wide although i have fitted some 110's on there.

4 piston brake caliper i see there. I don't think they need rubber inserts in the footpegs. They are to absorb vibrantions, wich arn't there to begin with.

So 72 and 60 hp. That should be adequate. Since that power comes at quite high speeds they could opt to use the 80hp curve but just flattened at the end. However i don't think they need that power anyways.

2 questions jump to mind. - Why? - Why not? I am willing to believe it can pull a 100 hp. But with experience from 80 hp we know it will overheat fast and will surge in power as well.
