I'm fine with both bikes as well. My concern is really the government. There is too much of a push for electric which looks bad for the future of gas powered anything. I won't go into battle of pros and cons, I just want a choice of what I ride, drive and use.
When you are charging electric with diesel generator you are lost in the sauce. Renewable fuels sound great but take 1000 times the energy to make, so more lost sauce.
I’m not hating on electric… but I’ll never own one. The fun is in the engagement of clutching, shifting, know where the power is and conquering your bike. Electric is boring. Hell, 4-strokes are boring to me.
My buddy has a stark varg. Great bike. Really is! He improved his lap time with 5s, he had an rmx 450 2010 before so I guess he would have improved on any new mx bike. Either way.. I rode a couple of times now. Great and all. But I just didnt yell with it. Its just not as fun. To easy. Not so exciting to me.
@@skouija I mean if you’re talking about me riding after a fresh top end… yeah… I wasn’t going hard. Lol But it’s OK, I know you’re just probably an E-bike guy who (somehow) took offense to my original comment where I simply stated that I have more fun riding a two-stroke. It’s OK, you’re not man enough to handle a two-stroke and you have to resort to riding lazy on something else.
"definitely not a real rider"...ok got it 👍 Between purchases & sponsorships I've had over 40 motorcycles to own or were mine to race. Being an old dude (in my 60s) those included Hodaka, Bultaco, Ossa, Montesa, Maico & Cagiva besides all Japanese, Swedish made Husky & Penton/KTM. Mostly MX, but xc & Enduro disciplines too. When Musk makes a 5+ hr battery... bring on an electric bike for trail riding. Super efficient shaft drive would be welcome also (would rather not have to tighten & lube chains anymore, besides doing filters).
If the only issue is sound, they can program the electric bikes to produce sounds and develop standards and speakers for that purpose. I agree the mixing of the electric and gas bikes in the same race is problematic but the sound issue can be overcome pretty easily with technology.
100% agree on this. This is the era where a new racing series can be created. No need to infringe on Moto. Emoto will have its own place, like bmx racing, you can build tracks closer to cities and make it more accessible to the masses. ICE will always be KING but emoto can be an avenue to grow 2-wheel sports as a whole.
A question if there's ever going to be a motocross track open to the public close to gasoline only electric maybe one day not in my lifetime but not impossible
Yes, eMX and eSX classes can be a thing but not at the expense of gasoline powered motorcycles. My main concern is definitely safety of hearing other riders, combined with fans not hearing exhaust it just wouldn’t be as entertaining as the main attraction.
I think they will be good for areas that you cant ride in technically. That sort of thing. Which is promoting doing something you shouldnt anyway. Well whatever lol. I would bring back a straight 125 class before i ever thought of adding in an electric class.
Electric is the future! I've been preaching this since electric bikes reared their quiet heads. All my riding areas were shut down because of NOISE! Can you imagine the opportunities to poach back the lost areas. Listen to Ryno! He is the living Emperor of MX riding knowledge. Great guy too
As long as we make sure we are able to keep the sport alive and well I’m all for anything. Let’s just keep the riding areas and tracks open. Also electric or gas, 4 stroke or 2 stroke, let’s band together against the side by side clowns!
The non riding public hates the sound of our bikes more than everything. They say it's erosion and pollution, but bottom line is out of sight/sound out of mind. Electric/quiet could greatly help stop or slow the one way slide of us getting banned everywhere. I see it happening everywhere, one riding area at a time. If they can't hear us they won't care about us. A 60 hp 450 is louder than a 500 hp car, and I know why, but it's still stupid.
Electric cars, electric everything will always be no more than 15% of the market. I asked a lady at work. “Where does electricity come from?” The wall! She said. Wow. Electric is not more efficient. Power is matter. Matter is never created, nor destroyed. It takes energy to create energy. Facts
Downhill mountain bikes don’t make any sounds either, and that’s some of the most exciting racing ever. Electric dirt bikes need to find their own scene, as they don’t fit with gas motors.
Electric racing with gas is dangerous because you can’t hear the e-bike coming from behind. They don’t belong together but I agree obviously they have their place
The E- bikes should have a class of their own, they make gobs on instant torque and aren't compatible with ICE bikes. Personally, I'm not a fan and don't want them on the track with me because I cannot hear them.
@RydenAround The issue is you folks are beyond narcissistic and want to force force force it down everyone's azzhole because you want it. You folks are by far the most tyrannical than any I've seen. If you actually think a full on electric world is something to strive for, nature will laugh at you fo sho! I'm on natures side. You folks want to change nature, it's creepy af
Electric moto bikes can and will eventually be a whole lot lighter than they are now. They will be very different than the internal combustion engine bikes. They absolutely should be in a different arena or class.
I like electric, my problem is they are saying its for the environment but using a diesel generator to power the charging. It makes zero sense. Also the renewable fuels sound good until you see it take 1000 times more energy to make these fuels so they arent renewing anything. Like e85. Look into it. We cant frack for the same reasoning. Fossil fuels arent going anywhere. The cost is deternined by the amount left. If they admitted peak oil is madeup the price would plummet. Yea sounds a little tinfoil hat but only 20% of the ocean has been mapped. We just dont know. But you ask an oil man how much they will give you a definitive answer. Our arrogance is annoyong. The long answer we dont know but they will never admit that.
Id rather watch a sloth build a nest than watch any electric bike, car, boat, ect, race around silently. We were brought up with petrol fumes, it is a part of us!
A stock Stark Varg is better than a 450 is most ways. I don't care about the "sustainability", whatever that means, it's some weird religion, but I'm sick of all the maintenance of dirt bikes and the fact that after several years of riding they are basically not worth rebuilding. I'm not convinced that a Stark is any more expensive in the long run than a YZ450 or definitely any of the KTM brand bikes, which are $$$ to buy, uncork, and maintain. I don't care what the fans want, supercross can worry about that. Motocross and dirt bike riding are about riding. If everyone is on electric bikes you'll be able to hear, and you won't need earplugs to keep your hearing.
When I was a kid I clamped a playing card to the frame with a clothes pin in such a way that the spokes hitting the card kinda made it sound like a motor. You're gonna have to bring that back for electrics. LOL.
E-bikes are BETTER . It’s why people like you are so scared you know what’s coming soon haha . I have a varg and ride it back to back with a new new 450 and the gas bike felt like an absolute pile of vibrating shit
E bikes need a clutch and 5 gears, and shit states with shit people need ebikes to ride anywhere because the noise will get you in trouble with bird watchers and the crab grass conservationists.
LOL you guys are way over complicating a sound output🤣🤣You are making more of a problem out of it them making a solution. Do you know how simple it is for a sound output for an E bike if people think that's the reason they shouldn't race together?🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂. The biggest thing the MX community is totally afraid of and why the sport lags behind so many others is because of fear of change. ICE bikes go through sound check for max output so all you have to do is add a minimum output for E bikes. This is simply a selectable setting and gives you the best of both worlds on a product. There are bunches of riders that race with ear plugs in to block out the ICE noise anyways. There is currently no government regulation(s) for E bikes. That is a fake narrative created by many. E bikes are currently being sold simply by consumer demand and growth areas of the sport that ICE bikes currently can't fill. It's an addition not a replacement. The topic of E bikes really brings out the uneducated in the sport for sure. Most have no education on it so all they talk about is politics, gender and all sorts of other 100% irrelevant things instead of the growth of the sport. Now does that mean everyone has to buy one and it is for everyone? Absolutely not just like there is currently not one ICE bike that does everything well there is also not one E bike currently made that does everything well.
I completely agree with Ryan. We need that impulse of engine sound and feel.
I'm fine with both bikes as well. My concern is really the government. There is too much of a push for electric which looks bad for the future of gas powered anything. I won't go into battle of pros and cons, I just want a choice of what I ride, drive and use.

people’s hp already adopted EV cars selling and going back to ICE! empty Mall lots full of new EVs they can’t sell, cost explosions! it’s insanity.
Great video 💯. For me, Nothing even close to the smell of VP race gas and 2 stroke oil in the morning ❤
I fully agree, but that doesn't exist anymore in pro moto. Bring on the elecTRICK
Alcohol two stroke

0:35 R.H. You are the first person I have ever seen that can pull off the flat-brim baseball cap look. You should try out as a movie hero. Kudos!
Trail riding: Gimme electric (no filter to clean, fuel to buy, spark plug to replace). But for top level racing: No electric bikes please.
You are definitely not a real rider
I can’t go back into the mountains on an electric bike. Not enough range.
"definitely not a real rider"...ok got it 👍

Ebikes a ecars both have their place but i dont think mixing them will work at a national level
Turning one's head to see ones sides and rear might become the future.
If the only issue is sound, they can program the electric bikes to produce sounds and develop standards and speakers for that purpose. I agree the mixing of the electric and gas bikes in the same race is problematic but the sound issue can be overcome pretty easily with technology.
A dirt bike with a speaker is for the rainbow boys..
@@MotoMatt418 until it isn’t
I did a supermoto race on Ktmsmr 450 vs StarkVarg. The lack of sound is a legitimate issue

Glue some playing cards on the forks
Electric motocross bikes belong. The noise of four-strokes are restricting scheduling of race dates or closing tracks altogether.
If they can make an electric bike sound like an 1986 RM 125 I'm all in .
MAKE 2 STROKE GREAT AGAIN 😃👍
underrated comment
Never lost greatness in my book!
I wonder what an arena cross style Sur Ron/Talaria bike series would look like…..Guess it would be like drone racing

Of course there will be

They are totally different arenas. Like a Straight Bar and a Gay Bar. Both work for someone
One [bar] helps/produce/facilitate or conect the future of mankind the other does not.

I got lit up this weekend by a stark the worst roost i ever felt.
Ouch
Yeah the roost is insane behind a varg..
It’s the immersive experience of ICE engines.
Perhaps artificial engine sounds like the Ionic 5 N.
I don’t care what spins the back wheel as long as it’s not by pedaling!!!😜
Downhill mountain bikes don’t make any sounds either, and that’s some of the most exciting racing ever. Electric dirt bikes need to find their own scene, as they don’t fit with gas motors.
What if city’s had MX teams 😮 and they had 125 -250-450 and E-bike riders on their team.
The E bike needs to be in its own class. And if they try to take away our gas powered ones that is the day I will quit watching.
Bye bye ….
Amen Ryan! how boring would a top fuel drag race event be if they were electric and silent? Blah!
Electric racing with gas is dangerous because you can’t hear the e-bike coming from behind. They don’t belong together but I agree obviously they have their place

Everything will change when all the kids being raised on Stacyc bikes get old enough to go to bigger bikes. They will push the change.
