One question stated that most people change their bikes from stock form. A number of years ago there was an article about how few of the motocross bikes were actually used for motocross. If I remember right less then 10% . Many more were ripping around backyards and farm fields. That might be an interesting topic to revisit at some time Ping.

F1 tried quiet mufflers a while back and everyone hated it. But for trail riding it would be awesome!

If we keep “adjusting” moto to the requirements of ever tightening government oversight, (EPA) they will win the fight and we will never get combustion engines back. Even more countless jobs destroyed in the name of “saving the environment,” while funneling all that revenue to a select few people instead. This trend is destructive to our moto economy. Four strokes made moto too expensive and less safe (450’s), now e bikes will demolish hop up shops like PC and FMF, and put countless other people out of business. Bad path.

To loosely quote Jurassic Park, people are so preoccupied with if they could rather than if they should. Bye bye engine builders. Bye bye engine mechanics. Bye bye all that revenue for dealers and distributors.

How environmentally safe is the battery to make, and eventually dispose of? If one single part breaks, do you have to send off the whole engine to repair it? To only a select few licensed repair shops or void the warranty?

And those things sound ridiculous, (due to no sound at all.) Are we going to put baseball cards in our spokes like a kids bmx bike to simulate a dirt bike ON a dirt bike? Imagine a Blue Angels show with no jet noise. Meh.

The varg has crazy specs. Like you say Ping, if it’s close to the claims, this’ll be a game changer
