Serious question then. You ordered a bike in 2021.. So is the VIN plate a '21 or '23?

Its not Anti-electric. Its common sense. And there's zero ways I can spin that question. The answer should be a model 2023 because of manufacturing date, not order date. Its a good thing. Considering I heard they were originally going to print VIN plates the moment the pre-orders were made, so customers knew the assembly line number of their bike. It would be total BS if the plates started the last 8 of the VIN with the letter M for '21 instead of P for '23

Why do you care so much?

Assuming you actually ride and have friends, when a buddy gets a new Honda 450f are you questioning him about the VIN?

Help me out guys; I'm working on a bitch generator (pun intended) for EMX bikes. What bitches did I miss above?
Nice bike, Rupert. 

Good idea, we can add some to the clown bingo card/bitchin' generator:

I can't stand the thought of a bike not making 100 dB but I can't stand the noise from 60 dB generator either,

18 000 pre-orders clearly show there is no interest for EMX,

It's not a bike, just a toy, but I'm afraid it could be allowed to compete against ICE,

If a startup can do this, Honda can do better whenever they want to (as evidenced by their record sales in electric cars reaching a humongous 1% of Tesla sales)

EMX takes all the skills out of it but 80 hp without clutch is crazy accident waiting to happen 

They are only delivering bikes to influencers aka I don't understand why there are not more videos of regular folks who do not do videos

Note also the historical progression over a few months: It's a scam > the bike is not real > the factory is not real > they will never deliver bikes > they're funding dealer bikes with $100 pre-orders >  6000 bikes/year is ridiculous, they should deliver more to satisfy this huge demand (to which everybody agrees, including Stark)

Sorry about derailing the thread, maybe if we get them all right now we can then go back to talking about this insane garage of yours and this brand new Varg just asking to get all dirty with you.

Unless there were improvements made that were not implemented onto the bike I got. I wouldn't care.  It's still the same bike, it would just be a different number on the frame. A lot of 2024 models will have been built in 2023 with some parts having been built in 2022 or earlier.  Its still a new bike with no hours on it. It might be a little bit of a bummer to wait 2 years and get a bike labeled as a 21 while all my buddies are getting 24's. 

But really it's just a letter/number. The date of manufacture will be the date that matters.When was the last time You or somebody You ride with got a BRAND new bike, that they knew was new. And spent any amount of time looking at the Vin? I guess if You have a buddy that likes to tell stories that end up not being true. And You like to call them out on their BS. You might be looking at their VIN's when they roll up and claim they are on a " new" bike.

What sort of absolute prick comes into a thread someone has made in excitement at receiving a new bike and just starts talking shit on it?

Your response explained nothing, it was just more talking in circles.

If I'm not mistaken, that bike should be a '24 model. Anything manufactured in 2023 will be, according to NHTSA, or whatever acronym agency oversees that kind of thing. It just depends on when it was "built."

I have a relative who has a permanently mangled up hand that was caused by having a fall , and somehow getting his hand in the rear sprocket/chain area.

A sprocket guard is one of those things you think you don't need , until you see the damage that can be done.

When you have a crash your arms & legs often don't go where you think they will, stuff just happens too quickly, especially if someone else crashes into you, so you are not expecting it.

Do we have guards protecting you from falling into the spokes?

Gongrats on the bike… but I got a question on the beast behind it… mine just lost 2,4 and 6 I only have 1,3,5 and reverse looks like pressure sensors failed. You ever have any troubles with your GTR… I got 90TKM on mine now and first troubles.

I tried the 80 HP on grass. That shits insane brah.       According to my son, the 60 hp with regen braking seemingly suits him, so far. He’s only got about 30 minutes on it -32FB34BD-8BF0-48FB-81DB-DE4FE46FAD35we are all very impressed. Check out my Instagram or Twitter to see the latest action nonsense.
