They are the future for sure. Internal combustion bikes will always be around , I don’t think the moto population want them to go away. These open up so many options for riding in areas where noise concerns with IC bikes keep them out of those area’s. Like some of the other comments , you look real comfortable on the bike. 👍
Very balanced and real world perspective. To be honest you really looked at home on it, I could see you were enjoying it. I nearly ordered one when they first opened for orders but I've given up the dirtbikes now. I wish either they'd turned up a few years earlier or I'd be born later! Hope to see you on it again in future...
That is the best video on the stark i have watched. And ive watched alot. A true racer that we can relate to. Could see your confidence in the bike straight away. Well done for your honest opinion. Merry Christmas to you and your good lady. And look forward to watching your videos in 2024 🏴🏴🏴
Nice work Joel. You're the first person I've seen that's taken the time to really set one up and then look like they're flowing on it. Couple of people said they felt they were nose light on jumps which unsettled them but you didn't look like that was a problem for you at all. Glad you had fun.
Thanks mate, I found the biggest thing with jumping was finding the right Regenerative Braking setting. I started at 80% which made the front heavy and dive on jumps so I dropped it down to 50% by the end and found that was good for me 🤙🏻
More great real world feedback.. I'm yet to hear a Pro have any bad words about the Stark.. Love to get one myself, are they still about $20k with 6 month wait time.?!
Yeh mate, I have been running a couple demo days with Brisbane Motorcycles and haven’t had any bad words yet! I am waiting for someone who doesn’t like it haha Where are you based mate? I think the 60hp is 18k and the 80hp is 19k but the wait time if you go through a dealer isn’t too bad. If you go through Brisbane Motorcycles they are expecting their first batch in January. If you are local to the SEQ send me a message on socials and we can organise a demo ride 👍
They need a way to swap batteries out at the track. These bike may not take over but they are definitely not going anywhere….everyone enjoys riding them.
You’ve lost a plot, this bike maxes out at 88hp. It’s a complete monster and could smoke any 450 at any time. Literally the only downside to this bike is the range (if ran in a proper race)
@@TalariaDawg You don't understand battery tech or performance. The varg is a sham. Your 80 hp claim is laughable. Let the varg prove your claims, waiting... So far nothing but propaganda paid advertising.
@@TalariaDawg There is video here on yt. It shows the varf on a mx track, with a steep hill maybe 200'. The varg slows to a crawl, the blender sound boggs down to powerwheel status. It was slower than a 250 4t. What a joke varg is, eventually customers will expose this rip off. Right now it's nothing but shills and commercials. Not one real example of the varg in the real world on the web. Lets see it run the 1/4 mile against a any mx /x 450..
@@Dat_Sun I borrowed a Stark Varg for 2 days last weekend. We rode it 38 miles on fast trails as well as a woods MX track. I have a 2023 Husqvarna 450 and this Varg kept up with my 450 down the back straight...and the Varg was set at 40hp. They're fast, very fast. Thats a real world test from a average guy. Set at 60hp its the fastest dirt bike I've ever ridden. I turned it down to 45hp.
@@japandrz Nice story. I don't believe it but cool man. You have to understand for over a 100 years it's been the same BS lies from ev nerds. It's really stepped up recently thanks to an increase in available tax cattle funding for anything originating from China powered by batteries. Originating doesn't mean made in China, but it essentially is. There is plenty of 'people" saying it's so powerful and awesome, but the examples shown are exactly the opposite. How about a real example down the quarter mile? Or an extended hill climb, better yet show it winning at in real competition, not propaganda acting short shifting 4 stroke riders making the powerwheel look better.

Thanks for coming out and doing your thing Joel! You are a legend

Your riding looks so on point with the Stark.
The bike is so easy to ride it helps everything.

try turning down ( less )High speed compression dampening on rear shock -
could help on fast woops
Excellent Video
Thank you!
Nice work, bud
Thanks mate 👊🏼
Good review mate. I’m keen to ride one
Dam you picked it up quickly
Cool!!
Awesome video and that bike looks unreal 👌🏻
Thanks mate! The bike really is next level, I’d love to do a proper back to back comparison soon 🤙🏻
@@JoelEvans Sounds like a video that needs to happen!
I wish I lived in an area with better weather so I could ride mine more.
at 17:28 those rear sprocket teeth look trashed! cool review though !
I didn’t even think to look at the sprocket haha
Wow!

there is. its a electric swap kit for yamahah yzf.
Definitely will look into them.
It’s definitely worth a try out 👌
@@JoelEvansWill Do.Do you know what's the price tags going to be for them here in Australia.
@@bella0167 It’s around 18k for the 60hp and 19k for the 80hp
@@JoelEvansThanks 👍
For those who don't know what Stark Varg means: Strong Wolf
I Like Evans FC
Whats ride time?
how can i
get into that track
The only way on this track is through Luke Reardon Coaching mate 👍
Too bad it is good for about a twenty minute ride! Lol at this thing!
The bike is unreal mate. The battery is not ready for competitive MX yet in my opinion but I’d buy one tomorrow if I wasn’t racing 🤙🏻
And it's 265 lbs. NOT!
Is this an infomercial or supposed to be real? Sure doesn't look like any 60hp I have ever seen before, maybe 25hp.

I'll give up motorbikes before I buy an electric one 🤮
Well, ill buy a bike only if its electric. So no loss for anyone.
