What if…. Triumph…

What if it’s right in front of us, we just haven’t clocked it yet??

No photos.
No test bikes.
No witnesses.
People who Should be in the know seemingly don’t know anything..

So despite the big announcement, it seems like it doesnt exist… or does it?

Who knows what about STARK as a company?

Could STARK VARGE be the test name of the new Triumph??

No, the brands and product have no relation.

Which means you KNOW SOMETHING.

So come on, what do you know?

(If you say you know nothing, then you won’t know the brands are not connected)

Pretty easy to Google and figure out who’s behind stark and triumph. Plus it would be the worst marketing move of all time.

I can’t believe you actually said it’s pretty easy to Google search and find out who’s behind it..

Of course… isn’t that the point? Someone who’s trying to hide something will make it pretty easy to Google search and find false information..

I’ve seen the bike, and it’s being tested extensively in the UK by a number of ex professional riders

In the first Triumph dirt bike post on vital, I called it just another Cannondale...

They've yet to do one thing to change my mind........

So far all they've done is drop the ball........ just like Cannondale...

we'll see... they were Supposed to be racing this year.... but if I don't see a triumph on the track by the end of the year.... I doubt we ever will......

I heard Triumph agents are torturing KTM Engineers in a dungeon under a pizza shop.
The resulting sweat is the secret ingredient in the Varge batteries.

You won’t find the mainstream media reporting that!!

Can you explain coherently how this would even be accomplished?

This isn't the worst thought he has reduced to writing on Vital. Just let that sink in for a minute.

Well they did park a Triumph semi-truck up at Thunder Valley… that was only to throw us off the scent!

Don’t try and give us anymore of this “I Google searched it and found an e-mail address and it didnt contain the word ‘Triumph’” nonsense.

All jokes aside it looks a lot like a KTM, especially the motor. Had black plastics on when I saw it, and the Airbox/shock reservoir area is very open

Stark hired test rider Josh Hill, who is the brother of Justin Hill, who rode for MCR on a Honda, who Ricky Carmichael rode for, who is now “an active partner in both bike testing and preparation for racing” for Triumph.

Stark also hired Sebastien Tortelli as a test rider, who was a teammate with Carmichael in 2002.

Stark also hired Mat Rebeaud as a test rider, and Mat has a poster of Ricky Carmichael in his garage.

But yeah, sure...no connection.

I guess you’ve never heard of a ‘skunkworks project’?

Google that..

And if it fails Triumph look bad.
But if they start up a new company and it fails, close the company and it’s forgotten in weeks.
