    Charged Cycle Works - Stark Varg vs Ultra Bee Trail Ride Test

    Apparently Cake just filed for bankruptcy 2 Feb 2024, I wonder if one of the moto mafia had a finger in the demise or just not enough interest in their quirky styling.

    Are we saying that all the 450's and 250's have the exact same performance? If that was the case why is it that so many of the top 5 spots at most finals tend to be the same 3 makes. Is Jet and his fellow Honda team mates and the KTM and Husky boys running the same performance engines as the...

    Aussies are very practical when it comes to implementing safety protocols. This will be the start and any required alterations will be managed , documented and implement as it should. I would suggest this was also shared with the likes of the UK and French racing bodies and would also have...

    History being made with @jackbrunell155 taking the first Arenacross Victory in Round 2 of @arenacrossuk + taking the championship lead

    check the 1:22 seconds where Sebastian covers off the added safety features that were added for FIM rules before FIM change the rules saying no electric bikes. I know this UK arena cross event was not an issue but I wonder if the UK team had to fit the lanyard that FIM insisted be fitted...

    Has the AMA rewritten the rules for 2024 or has the sprint Enduro category issued supplementary regulations about allowing electric. As the MX and SX rules specifically disallow electric. Are the rules available to post?

    Those that oppose E seem to think E is unfair. Not to dissimilar from those that argued 4T was unfair over 2T but 2T would be way faster. I don't have an allegiance to any - I loved my XR600R and I was never good at MX. Me personally, I want to see the category open and head to head racing. The...

    I stand corrected Beagle. My bad - as I did confuse the FIM with FIA and autoracing. AMA wont change their stance unless members get a vote and the vote seems split on ICE and E in same race on track at same time. IMO it will not happen in Merica land. After all those same 50% support a red...

    Fair Point the FIM not just EU. FIM are supposed to be the unifying body for all motorsport internationally as a global body with consultation from governing member country motor sport bodies - Bikes being only part of the scene. FIM cover cars , trucks, bikes, quads, any motorsport on...

    I It is my belief that the question in the interview was to deflect some of the growing criticism. And that Criticism- it is coming like winter in GOT. AMA have no intention of allowing ICE and EV and I recall he said maybe their own class in near future - maybe 2025 / 2027. But for now No...
