It took 6 years for Honda/Mugen between the first official presentation of the prototype (2017) and its first race (2023). And 6 years later still no specs and no release date.
It took 3 years for Stark to go from funding the company, gathering investors, building a prototype... to building a factory, racing the bike and releasing thousands of bikes.
Honda is a mastodon, that comes with pros and cons. Looking at their EV record, 10 years after Tesla started selling cars, Honda are still way way behind, both in product quality and in sales, and cars are much more important to them than bikes.
I think Stark stands a decent chance in this game.
Oh, and first came here to say that the Varg is now legal to race in Finland. Now roll on AX UK rounds 3 and 4 (tonight and tomorrow in Belfast).
