@@seawench555 It's not as loud in person as it sounds in this video. In newer vids I've started using an external mic that better captures the experience.
@@williamcrotts7054 this is Santa Teresa, NM...Can't wait to start hearing owner's experiences with the EX! The EX is likely a better choice for most of the riding I do.
that chain sound gets on a nerve because there is no 450 noise and bass to drown it out, but if you put slipknot or slayer on your ears, it would probably be ok
@@williamfoster4268 Not limited in my case since this is a very typical loop I ride. Most loops we do are 20 to 30 miles. That's a huge workout when fighting sand and whoops.
@@ogasi1798 We'll see. Battery tech is advancing pretty fast but range is still very limited for motorcycles. They are more weight sensitive and have limited space compared to cars.
@@vgstb what kind of silly comment is that? You haul your bike out to the trails and only ride for an hour? Sounds like a wasted day. I rode 167 miles last weekend on my day off. Stark is cool but why hate on others to justify electric bikes? They have a long way to go
@howiefine3074 Yup. There are a few loops over 30 miles and we've done an over 40 mile loop on forrest singletrack (slower speeds and no sand so may be possible?). Those rides are not very often though so I would hate to have a bike sitting to be ridden only a couple of times per year. I'll be pushing it on some longer loops. For really long, less technical riding, a bike like the Kove 450 Rally is amazing with its 8 gallon tanks.
Thx for doing this video.. would love to see more!!! Cheers!!!
@@jackchen9803 More to come!
Howdy. Nathan here, the GS guy. Great videos. Really enjoying them.
@@NathanTBlack Hey Nathan! Glad you're enjoying the videos. Hope to see you on Bo's Loop sometime!
12.20.24 Where are you riding around at?
Santa Teresa, NM off of McNutt Rd.
Awesome bike, but that noise would seriously drive me nuts. Thanks Nathan 👍🇭🇲

Question does the phone need to be charged or is it charged wireless ?
The phone charges wirelessly. I just leave it docked on the bike all the time.
Just ordered an EX. Should have it 3/2. Might be bugging you on set up tips. Looks like Blythe CA.

@@KoupSStafanS 😂
I wanna see how it preforms on westside
@@aidenduran7615 I've done the shorter, southern half of Westside Loop, Did great through that loop. Video up soon.
35 mile range! 😮 it takes me 25 miles just to get to the trails 😮
@@Rocketboy-qg6ts Definitely have to tow to the trails!
The only draw back of the Stark Varg is the battery capacity. Everything else is amazing!
@@Vesataeuc 10 more miles of range would be perfect!
@@SWTrailsAndWheels the new EX street legal version supposedly has 20% more range!
My Ryobi drill sounds just like that 😂
@@perrygibbons1816 Ryobi drills are GOOD! 😜
The amount of travel you were able to go honestly blows, I just don't see the appeal when having to limit yourself to such short rides.

nice bike: nowhere near the range i require , i doubt electric will ever get close to what most of us need
@@ogasi1798 We'll see. Battery tech is advancing pretty fast but range is still very limited for motorcycles. They are more weight sensitive and have limited space compared to cars.
Boomers bragging that they have enough spare time to ride stints of more than 50 miles. Tbh, you shouldn't rub that privilege in everybody's nose.

@ogasi, why do you think technology will never advance enough to improve range?
What secrets do you know?
Is the bike sound as annoying in reality as on film?
I do like the sound of gas engines better, but in person the Varg sounds like some kind of Star Wars Speeder bike. Try one if you get a chance.
Its stealthy if you zooming in the city doing things
More :-)
That was a short trip so if you had friends who actually go far, your last question to yourself would be answered.

Seriously, who tf has time to ride stints of more than 50 miles these days?
Going too work & back home with this is good enough with moto wheels lol
Instant Tinnitus.
@@Romenet310 I always wear earplugs anyhow, but the sound in person is not as loud as the camera makes it sound.
450 crf with and extra gallon of gas on the back is a much better option. Or you could hook up some solar panels. 😂😂
@@robbieanderson649 I have a WR250F for the longer rides!
