In all honesty. That 2023 was a decade old tech when it was sold.

Same here. When it comes to riding i actually feel the Stark is closer to a 2 than a 4 stroke.

You won't feel te difference. I have them for some while. Just because the dealer had them in stock and not the normal ones. They seem more robust so far although people have been able to bend them in Hard Enduro.

The guys who can feel the difference don't ask for it. They get paid and prepped by sponsors.

This sounds like a guy who will always blame others, then his bike, then... and much further down the line himself. Doesn't matter what you would have ridden, he would be mad at you.

The promised functionalities that didn't come or behind a paywall are a bloody shame indeed. However much of the rest is pretty defendable i suppose. - All updates so far have been upgrades. Never removed something or made the bike worse. - They don't believe in the electronic clutch. With good...

I would love to see their pro subscription turn into a one time buy or, indeed, as a "free" addition when buying an Alpha. People are finding out (as i've heard from dealers) 60 hp is enough. That way they can make a bigger gap between the 60 and the Alpha and thus lure people into buying the...

Yeah but only for so long and it's very annoying. I want to have the option to turn it off.

How is having an adjustable TC a downside?

I feel for those guys though. I work at an industrial company with a slow proces but with huge cashflows and profits. Everything is slow. Every step is looked at from a million angles and costs of every small change goes accompanied by huge amounts of money.

From what i've heard from former employees working on the project the problem wasn't the engineers. KTM management wanted industry and car standards implemented that never were meant to be applied to motorcycles. That's a very good way to make costs explode, product development delay and deliver...

Just keep in mind that the biggest enemy of a good ride is trying to have a perfect one. Don't forget to ride when waiting and/or building ;)

Probably they do have stock for warranty. Maybe a good sign that they finally gave up on the stand. Everyone who has a Stark hates the thing. It's only use is in the garage because it balances the bike so well. But just a plate with that rubber flap would probably do it better anyways.

That price isn't too bad to be fair. It only has 1 real competitor in usecases and that is the Beta Xtrainer wich costs +- €9000 in the Netherlands. The Freeride has no price at us yet, but probably on the high end so €10.650. But €1650 is quite the gap. I would like to see it competing within...

The MX 1.0 gen 1 and 2 have motors with different inverter covers and chargerports that do fit. However the 1.2/EX/SM have different wiring on the motor and different battery connector ports. Do not fit on the MX1.0 without doing the whole full E setup swap.

MX 1.0 has entirely different electronics. But pretty much everyhting else is bolt on. You could make a 1.0 a 1.2, but you would need the motor, battery, VCU, wiring harnas, phone and docking station.

The rev limiter is lower so the speedo will never show it. You will need a GPS or a calculator to get it. The EX hits the limiter hard at 138 km/h or 86 km/h. You will need 17% taller gearing. 12-48 stock. The 15 gets you 25% more and i know that pulls to the limiter. So yeah probably i've hit...

For us the MX was actually quite fine. We're a sand MX country. Pretty much every suspension gets beefed up around here. Mine is still stock but a lot of people had the front stiffened by tuners. I'm ot 100% sure about the EX. 1 day of minor offroad (with beginners) and a few days on SM wheels...

I can't feel it. But the suspension is worlds apart.

And not forget stiffness. The pre 2000 bikes are like cooked noodles compared to the newer ones. May not be your style. But the amount of force modern MX bikes get to endure compared to the days of old where suspension was way less advanced is not to be underestimated. In ADV bikes you see the...
