I'm getting back into riding again after a couple of years off a bike last bikes were cr500 and several 450s and still have a 2019 fe 501 and now that there are grand kids starting to ride a few of my older buddies 60plus want to start riding again and what got my attention to the varg was the fact you can use a left hand rear brake and acts somewhat like a rekluse actually better not having to shift and if varg has a way to adjust the throttle response and maybe traction control I think it would be the bike for me, also is it really true that when riding it feels much lighter cuz im over my big heavy 500 and 450s thanks.
I am smaller and I can handle the Varg weight wise no problem. Just to be clear the left hand brake is braking not slipping like a rekluse. The throttle control on the Varg can only be described as awesome, it is fly by wire and gives you orders of magnitude more control than a clutching throttle system on most ICE bikes. When I first got it I was worried about not having a clutch. 15 minutes after riding I realized no clutch was really needed the pinpoint seemingly analogue delivery is excellent IMO.
I have compared my Varg to my 2020 KTM 300 2T and 2015 WR450F in multiple ways and the Varg wins in almost every aspect. My KTM has been a great bike too btw but I will ride the Varg 10 times out of 10 given the choice. There are others in the forum with similar thoughts in that comparison.
The main thing I would consider is range. If you are intending to hit the moto track hard WOT there will be limits or if you intend to ride many of miles like desert riding. For trail riding and enduro I absolutely love the Varg. In the slower gnarl I can ride comfortably range-wise for 4 hours with enough left to safely get to my vehicle.
