I think Swoll will be his usual 5-10. Super hard to predict a result for Ferry. He really hasn't done much since leaving Husky so I really don't have high expectations. I guess just don't let a non factory rider beat you. Should be a better opening performance than Beta. Losing Nichols really dampened their results.

The 250 class is much harder to build a competitive bike than the 450 class. The engine package on a 250 is so critical for results. If Triumph can get a top 10 in their first few races that would be an unbelievable accomplishment. I think that if they can make every main it would be great for a first year bike.

Stark needs to get customer bikes delivered before they start giving bikes away.

As a customer, don't you want to know what you are buying isn't just based on the word of the manufacturer and a bunch of fawning fan bois?

I think Jalek is easily going to finish within the top 10.

Even if the bike is still not set up 100%, I agree with this.  If they have a good setting, he’ll be hunting top 5.

If you are a moron then buying anything based of the manufacturer marketing is very high risk. If you are smart enough to be able to read specs and technical documentation you can make an educated evaluation for yourself that is low risk.

As an engineer with trade qualifications, 20+ years experience in the industry and 30+ years experience in owning and racing motorcycles, I see the purchase of a Varg as low risk.

....... aaaaand once again, the Stark Varg has hijacked the Triumph thread. It must make those poor Triumph people bang their heads on the walls of their factory in complete frustration. They've got a shiny all-new bike and they're entering a shiny brand new market, and they can't get a dozen comments in before someone changes the subject again. The Stark Varg is like a ghost that haunts their castle.
