Dealership delivery

67th birthday today, got the new bike bug. A new dealer just popped up with 3 bikes right down the road. My problem is spec, and how to get the deal and specs I want the quickest, since a scramble is coming up on March 1st, willing to drive. Is there a way to search the details of how to find if dealers have a bike that matches my specs without going through them 1 by 1? edit- it wasn't that hard to search inventory in the state. Seems like a shortage of kickstands, is it possible to add the Warp 9 later or does it need a frame tab?
I'm an out of shape 230 lb 6'0 nekid. Sand MX and single track Vet rider who hopes to regain some old skills and become a solid B rider again. I'm after 18", handbrake, kickstand and heavy springs.
Might as well get a referral setup too for some titanium pegs.
Ideas?
For some reason it seems that the (failed) kickstand is never included on bikes in stock. If you're in a hurry just forget the kickstand.

Pretty easy to see dealers stock here: Stark Future Dealers | Stark Future

You can also enter your search criteria: Stark Future
Right now I see 3 Vargs with handbrake, hard suspensions and 18" rear wheel in Stark US warehouses (one in each color).

Alternatively, the biggest US dealers I'm aware of, with nationwide delivery, are Kaplan Motorsports and Lithium power sports, check them out.

I don't know if you'd entertain buying used, but I have one in your desired spec, in red. I haven't listed it for sale, but probably will in the near future since I just haven't had time to ride it - It has just 2-3 hours on it. I love it, just haven't had time to ride as much as I'd hoped since it's easier to take my eMTB out than go pickup a trailer, drive at least an hour, then go drop off the trailer offsite when I'm done. I'll also put my Kendon folding 1-rail trailer up for sale with or after I sell the bike. Clear titles in hand for both bike and trailer..

I'm in the Fort Worth area now....used to ride w/ AMSA and race with TORCS when I lived in Austin. The riding options and community there are so much better than here!

Hey - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We are similar in age and experience, but not location. All I can do is wish you good luck on finding the rig of your dreams!

Learned a lot talking to the dealer, who has the bikes but no Dealer license yet so can't sell them. Tested sag, liked the hard springs, and saw that the kickstand can be added after the fact with the female threads in the frame. Also very interesting that the dealer encouraged me to order a bike from the warehouse online and have it delivered to him, he gets paid to deliver it quite handsomely, almost as much as selling the bike full retail. Also the referral pays good, but once you have created an account in Stark's site apparently it no longer is eligible.

Made me check Stark dealers network, over 420 worldwide including about 120 in the US. No dealer in Wyoming, Nebraska, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Delaware, Rhode island. 4 in Hawaii and 1 in Puerto Rico though.

I clicked on most European dealers listed on Stark site.
There are some real dealers/distributors, but also very many that appear to be small affiliates or just contacts.

In any case, that's a lot of emails and contracts. Impressive for a company with a single product in a niche market.

Agreed, of course technologically it's well advanced (though using commercial cells for instance), but I feel industrialization and commercialization is where they have been head and shoulders above the rest. Scaling up production really fast, with some known issues, but it remains very impressive in my book.

Producing as many bikes in one month that Alta ever did in 3 years, only one year after first deliveries, and starting from scratch, selling in about 70 countries with over 400 dealers, it's huge.

Compared to legacy manufacturers they remain midgets (except in dirt bike sales!) but compared to electric motorcycles manufacturers we had never seen something quite like it.
