My thoughts exactly. Why bother? I don't get it.

When I learned about the phone I knew it was going to be a debacle, I'm sure many felt the same way. An unnecessary, vulnerable, and expensive device. A simple display like what we've been using for years on dirt bikes with some added features to suit the e-dirt bike functions would have been...

Very kind of you, thank you. I'm basically fine, not dying anytime soon (that I know of ha ha), just adjusting to diminished capabilities. I've had many years and many great times riding dirt bikes, so all good. Last summer I bought a 26 yr old, 330,000 miles Porsche 911 convertible and drove...

Couldn't agree more on you have to ride one to understand how capable and fun they are. And of course test ride in an area similar to your favorite riding places (single track, motocross, etc). The precise, instant, predicable, and repeatable nature of the throttle is fantastic. Never needing to...

All of a sudden I desperately need one of these killer SM's, lol. Sweet looking rides guys.

Great pic! And nice setups, looks super fun. I'm guessing a KTM 500 road race bike (not supermoto) would be a rare site on the track. Thanks for posting.

We need a pic of that 500 in road race trim, sounds fun.

It’s the rotating mass that makes the difference. Less of it on the smaller displacement bikes, more of it on the larger displacement bikes. I feel a big difference between a 125, 200, and a 300. So much so that I’ve never wanted a 300. Ridden all of them many times. Perhaps not everyone...

My '07 KTM 125 SX had surprisingly good power down low. I could putt around just above idle and then snap the throttle for acceleration or to hop a log, so much fun. Same for my Husky WR125 that I put a 165 kit on, both bikes single track slayers ha ha. Op, sorry for the thread jack!

Thanks, the HVR MX2 looks very interesting, around 218 lbs, $10,351 USD, I will check it out. Unfortunately it looks our current administration has imposed a 15-25% tariff on Germany to import to the USA, so that's a deal breaker right there. I might have to force myself to build one from a KTM...

I'm with you on the weight issue, my ideal tight single track/flowing trails dirt bike is around 200 lbs, up to about 240 max. I've owned everything from 125 2st motocross bikes, 250 2st, 350 4st, and even rode my old KTM 520 EXC in the gnar. Loved them all, but my favorites were the 125 2st's...

They've been doing the bait and switch since they announced that they were taking pre-order NON-refundable deposits. They advertised the bike as 240 lbs, custom power maps, some other stuff that did not happen, I can't remember all the details. Bike is finally produced and being sold, its 265...

The heart rate monitor setup, lol! I've maxed out my heart rate a few times dragging my bikes back onto the trail on steep side hills by myself, just 10 feet or so! Nearly died, ha ha.

Removing the chain makes it much easier to push. I can't imagine trying to push/drag a Varg around in hilly woods for miles with the chain installed, insane. Not that it would be a picnic with the chain removed since it such a porker, but night and day easier then with the chain still installed.

After using the knee sleeve that came with my CTi brace for years (which worked fine), I tried the full length mx knee brace socks and really like them. Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Full Length Knee Brace Socks

Bummer. Hoping everything works out for you. Hang in there man.

I did basically the same thing when I got my Alta, rode my very nicely setup Husky FE350 a few times after, felt like an agricultural tractor, lol.

When the weight of the bike ballooned 20 lbs more then initially advertised when they finally released it I decided I was out. And I was worried about all the things that you mention (and more) and sure enough they have come true. What a cluster. For those that have not had problems and are...

If you're considering replacing that connector, keep in mind that the corrosion may have migrated into the wires under the insulation. You'll want to make sure you snip off any corroded wire sections. Of course confirm whether you have enough slack in the wires to do that before you do anything...

"Honda is making some bold moves here" Lol, hardly.
