Due to constant track closures from noise issues, electric will be the future of the sport. My opinion is let electric compete in 450 or open class. Let the ice bikes continue in 250 for a few more years. When race teams realize ICE bikes cost 3x to race vs electric, we will see a depleted 250 class and a...

If this were a valid argument, we never should have spent money on "re-tooling" and should all be riding horse/buggies around. My opinion is, I'm glad they re-tooled for ICE cars that lasted 100+ years. And I'm glad they are spending money re-tooling for electric vehicles that will be around for 100+ years as well.

I always enjoy the Stark topic. The same guys that think electric (bikes, cars, etc) are a fad are the same guys that called cell phones a fad. And the internet a fad, and email a fad. And now they think AI and Stark Vargs are a fad. Maybe they should start a hedge fund with their amazing insight into...

Been watching this thread with interest as I like electric bikes and Starks. Thought I'd share my timeline on my Enduro (Stark EX) order: Quick summary: Stark sent me weekly updates, missed their delivery date by about a month or so. Local dealer didn't have any more information about delivery until bike was about one week from delivery. Bike was...
Great job racing!!! Don't listen to the haters, they are just jealous they don't have the balls to put themselves out there and actually complete in life. It will be great to see how you do in the AMA Arenacross event. I have no idea what the level is comparing the two different ArenaCross series.
Claremore, Oklahoma - November 15-16 Presented by Bolt Motorcycle Hardware Back on the podium for the first time since February 2023. Anton had a great Saturday night and went 4-3 for 3rd overall. Included in his winnings - a badass trophy and a champagne ceremony. He has momentum, and knows he belongs. This is huge for us, and the fight for the red plate has commenced. I had a shitty weekend, but pulled two holeshots and got 4th in the B main on Friday and 2nd in the B main on Saturday. I'm leaving for my honeymoon tomorrow morning in...

AgileMike Added a reply to What are you going to replace your KTM with?

12/1/2024 12:23pm
Stark Varg. Our family owned many KTMs and really loved them, however starting with 2022 models and newer we have had problems with every bike. I will never purchase another KTM again (if they even keep building moto bikes). My option is that they changed moto in the 2012-2015 era. Then were the best (or close) 2015-2021. Starting in 2022...

Harri Kullas has signed for a whole season in America, including 250 East SX and 450 Outdoors with Michael´s Reno Powersports Stan Benson Racing. So happy for this, it is a dream come true for Harri and all of his Estonian and Finnish fans. In my opinion, that is the best possible deal he could've signed for; Good offseason to train for East at Clubmx, and the whole outdoors on a 450. So happy for this!

Start by sending low ball offers to every used motocross bike on facebook marketplace within 300 miles of your location. To save time it's acceptable to only send a number, ex. "1800". If someone responds in the affirmative, then ask them their best cash price. If they pressure you by asking when you want to come see it, or any other questions, then AVOID and Do Not Respond as they are obviously trying too hard and will rip you off. When you arrange to buy the bike, make sure to have a back story about how you used to race...

Starks were allowed to compete against ICE bikes in the Finland Tampere Supercross (more like arenacross). As all ICE riders predicted, riders were dying everywhere because the Starks were allowed to complete. Check out the footage!!

It’s not about what you find more entertaining or want to watch. The manufacturers are putting R&D into electric and will want to sell electric bikes. There will be far more manufacturers offering electric motocross bikes in 3-5 years than currently offer 2-stroke motocross bikes.

I have heard Phil Nicholetti state multiple times that when he raced for JGR's MX team, JGR would offer their NASCAR sponsor partners free signage on the MX/SX team and most sponsors refused. Many, many people associate dirt bikes and riding with back flippers, heinous injuries, negative environmental impacts, and intrusive noise. There can be no denying that. As a sport we have had literally decades to address these issues and have done virtually nothing, even going backwards in some respects. How many moms want junior to ride after watching countless riders not finish a season racing or splattering themselves...

This comment will get lots of down votes, but get a Stark, as much or as little power as you want, it's a smoother easier to ride bike, and uses the same suspension as your YZ250.

The Altis Sigma is out now. Definately a better bike than the MX5. The whole e-dirt bike industry is moving very quickly, especially the 85 chassis size with Suron, Talaria, Ventus, etc.

It's not just them. AMA/Feld is also getting too expensive to attend as either a spectator or a participant. I'm down to attending one SX and one Outdoors event a year now. Each event is $500+ for 4, more if it's fly away. I budget $1000 for an Amateur day at a LOCAL Pro National event, what with camping, memberships, gate and entry fees, fuel and food and event tickets. This year we didn't do Washougal at all simply due to cost. My son wants to try to make Loretta's next year but that's just a huge money grab now...

Have either of you ever been there? When I went I was absolutely shocked at the level of deceit and propaganda our media feeds us about China, it's nothing like they portray. While there is still intense poverty in some areas, there are zero homeless on the streets, the main freeways are immaculate, the airport was incredibly nice, and everywhere I went there were small independently owned businesses that employed their people directly. They even pay significantly lower taxes than we do here in America on the individual and corporate level. China has its fair share of problems don't get...
