I wont even ride one. There was a demo at a practice track I was at this summer and I said, nope. Not because I'm some boomer yelling at clouds who is against electric. Because Ive heard such great things I'm afraid how much I'll like it. Then in my slow Vet B rider brain I'll think, I need one of these! I'm slow because I dont have one! 😂 😂 Sweet ride. And I feel obligated to say, spoke with my wallet is only for 2-strokes! 😂 Look forward to a ride report
Vet B rider here, rode one and got pissed at how much faster I felt on it vs my KX450. Can confirm.
I have been considering a Stark, briefly rode one this summer, didn’t ride it long enough to really get a feel for it…Deep down I don’t want to like it…afraid I will lose my 2 stroke skills if I press the “ easy” button…give a ride report…lap times comparisons?
I can’t figure out where they’re selling all of them. I race most weekends in vet classes all summer long, and I’ve never once lined up against one of these.
There was a fast guy with one at a practice day I went to earlier this summer, and I felt bad because I held him up for a lap because I didn’t know he was there. I bet it would be scary to race one because the other riders on the track don’t know you’re there. They really need their own classes.

Profeshenol125’s home track holds races that are not AMA sanctioned (I am also a member at this track) and so there is a guy who races his Stark in our Vet class. I’ve battled with him…
I wish the AMA would get off their f-ing dead asses and make a class for these bikes…or at least let them run the Vet class.
Different circumstances, but I raced a hare scramble this summer and a handful of guys from one of the local shops did the 1hr class on their Starks. Wasn’t until you were in tight sections that you could hear them yelling at people to get out of the way lol.
Not ama legal yet, a few places have started e bike classes but I've asked LTM and they've said no e bikes are allowed to race with gas bikes. Some dude flew past me in the woods at the 500E on one (run what you brung style event), and I've seen a few at practice days. As soon as I can show up to a regular AMA track and race a vet class, or at least a dedicated e bike class I'm getting one.
Old guy here, to me the looks are bland and polarizing- moto equivalent of the Cybertruck. Newest and greatest technology isn't always best. I'll ride my 2-smokers until I can no longer ride safely and die with a smile on my face. Let the downvotes begin!
Sweet bike, the only thing better would be if you kept that YZ250 and ran two bikes depending on the mood. Both great!
U will love it , I just got one and is unreal!
Hell yeah brother ⚡
I have no doubt about it. I've been driving a Tesla for over a year and that experience is what sealed the deal for me. I'm never going back to ICE. I've never even ridden a Varg lol.
I thought about it but I'm a minimalist and I also can only fit one bike on the back of my carrier. Also my garage is full lol.
Maybe mount an air-horn on it so you can “warn” other riders you’re about to pass?
Yeah I see a yellow bike in that photo that’s in R+D status right now….😎
Nice bike! YZ platform so you know the suspension is excellent. I can’t wait to hear a ride report.
That's funny, the Cybertruck has been my dream rig since it was unveiled in 2019. Looks are subjective, I think it's an awesome looking truck lol. Looks like th future, all other trucks look boring to me now. Also I think the Varg is one of the sexiest bikes.
Pit Row
I saw a Tesla Model S Plaid the other day. Wow! That’s my new dream car.
I see Cybertrucks all the time around here. Some of them change colors depending on how the sun shines on them. Some change to a camo pattern that looks like a jaguar or leopard. Very cool. They are also excellent off road vehicles. My only wish is they had a hybrid option.
Or just yell 'YEE HAW!'🤠
My mistake sir! That is a really nice flatracker! 👍
Is that a late 60’s model Honda CB?
Frankenstein bike lol. 1967 Yamaha Bushmaster with a 100cc Honda motor.
Congrats, you are going to love it! I’ve had mine for a couple years dang near. Best bike I’ve owned, it’s a blast!
Can't wait to rip 😎
I think they are.
Is this new for 26? I got flat told no e bikes at all for AMA besides minis when I asked.
That's from the 2025 rulebook.
Glad you got Uno cards with it, it'll give you something to do while it's charging 😅
They are “That good” especially for vet riders. My factory edition 450 felt like an old tractor after getting off the Stark. I still haven’t pulled the trigger though.!It’s gonna happen but just not yet.
LOL good one!
