any high issue maintenc?? like backtire?? ever took it off?? lr u just put it up and ride the next day 0 issues and repeat? bc man ihat ethe maintence on a regular dirtbike.. chain gets loose every other ride etc lol
Such a dream! I want my garage to look like this one day! White beautiful Tesla next to the best of the best stark varg!! Congrats ride in good health !!
That was really enjoyable, I don't usually watch bikes being put together, but wow so impressed with Stark Varg, thanks for sharing and u did great, nice bike.💯👍🇭🇲uv got such a nice voice, no swearing or bravado, thanks
i wish the other bike oems would deliver direct. i absolutely resent having to pay a handling/setup fee from a shop. it should be optional for people who arent comfortable working on their bikes.
Absolutely! Direct to consumer saves a lot of money and headaches. I enjoy unboxing and putting it together myself. You get to know the bike much quicker that way.
My wife and I guessed you were in or near El Paso just based on the night ride looking at the neighborhood. I’d love to ride with you sometime! I ride out by pebble hills high school. Looks great though! I’m thinking of upgrading to the EX when it becomes more available
@@retroillumination As far as I know the body plastics did not change and are identical. If you mean the cover on the inverter; I have seen at least one report from an owner stating that Stark said the inverter cover cannot be changed for gen 2.
Do you think the 80 hp makes sense for 1000 euros more? or is it better to take the 60? or better the 80 hp because it's better to have the bike with that possibility too... maybe just to have it and try it and resell it maybe in a better way than the 60 hp... thanks
@@marcpana3795 Profesional riders say there is no situation where 80HP makes sense and I agree. But the large majority are buying the 80HP version according to Stark and as you say, it will be much easier to sell an Alpha than a standard version.
Man...if I could only have one bike it would still have to be a gas bike, probably a dual-sport or small adventure bike. If all your riding is off-road and your loops are under 30 miles then the Varg is unbeatable from a fun, performance and ease of use perspective.
No such thing as a Gen 2. There is only the 1st gen Varg. There was some running updated parts & people started falsely claiming it as a second generation.
@ I understand cost savings but if you’re “saving” money but trying to push as many bikes out as possible I fear they maybe problems. With my current bike it was the best packaging. My talaria came boxed and damaged. My surron also. Only problem with my bike is the lack of aftermarket but with more moto parts there’s more diy options for Arctic. I hated it how it came but with a benefit. Assembly of the triple clamp and forks I had to put together but knowing it’s greased properly from the start rather than potentially getting a bike that a disgruntled worker slacked on that day lol my talaria was bone dry. Like nothing lubed right. Now it has been impressively reliable (talaria xxx) 8k miles on it and still original belt, jackshaft, chain. Just I feel that bike is good where it is. My Arctic is the ex800 and @180lbs it’s a dream
People u can get this bike register and street legal. I got my stark register with no problems. Just add turning signals, side mirrors, and brake light. Add a better headlight.
Can you tell me what type of cooling the Varg has? if liquid or air.. and if it is liquid how much does the tank hold and where is it positioned? Tank you very much
Congrats on the new bike, you're gonna love it. Had mine for 14 months now & can't praise it enough.
@@Marleysdad808 It's been amazing so far!

@@seawench555 Thanks for the positive feedback!
Nice Video. Just ordered the EX . So excited, can’t sleep anymore 😅
Im thinking about pulling the trigger on the EX. You think the EX will have the minor issues fixed like the gen 2 MX’s did?
@@xKINGxRCCxwhich issues? Can you tell me the difference between gen 1 and 2? Can't find anything
@@xKINGxRCCx thats my only hesitation about ordering the EX. should i wait until gen 2 to iron out any minor issues they might have.
@ all the issues have already been ironed out from the MX
Street legal version with lights,turn signals and navigation available to order now!
Definitely and exciting addition!

Good guess! You can join the Facebook Group, "High Desert ADV & Dual Sport" We often post our planned rides there.
what's under the saddle? can you take it down and show it? you would be the first no one showed what's under the saddle
The saddle comes off together with all the plastics....could be an interesting short video...
Nice bike, why did you decide to purchase through Lithium Powersports?
I read good experiences from other buyers that went through Lithium and delivery times were quicker than direct from Stark.
@@SWTrailsAndWheels Gotcha. Sub'd for the Stark content!
The just launched the enduro version - fully street legal and with 20% more range (claimed) - available in March 2025
Yes! It has some significant changes and is an exciting addition to the lineup.
Nice to see! Wish you many funny miles! What black a kickstand is it? I only had one and the original didn't fit well. Too flat.
This is the Warp 9 kickstand. Nice fat foot and it can be adjusted for length.
Do you know if there is a general instruction booklet and also for assembly and maintenance of the motorbike? Also online if you have the link, thanks
Starkfuture has a great webpage with technical documents including the owners manual and videos on assembly and maintenance: starkfuture.com/support
You know if those plastics interchangeable with the gen 1?

I’ve had steel frame bike cages delivered with major issues I preferred the wood set up stark sent my bike in.
@@christophervillarreal8565 Then maybe just a bit more wood?
@ nah mines didn’t have scratch on it and from the looks of it neither did yours
there is a gen 2? What's the difference between 1 and 2?
Updated inverter, charging port, coolant pump, and charger have been reported.
No such thing as a Gen 2. There is only the 1st gen Varg. There was some running updated parts & people started falsely claiming it as a second generation.

@@SWTrailsAndWheelswill the new Enduro model EX come with these gen 2 “updates” ?
My arctic leopard came in a wooden crate. For a bike almost double the price of mine I’d hope it would come not in a card box lol
@@hollowedentity7097 Agreed, packaging could definitely be sturdier.

Definitely! If you live in the right states....here in TX it would be easy to make it street legal.
@SWTrailsAndWheels it's the same in Kentucky bro. Have fun and ride safe.

Why didn’t you get the EV Alpha?
@@jasongardner1910 This is the 80HP Alpha model. Stark stopped selling the 60HP MX a while ago.
@ oh did not catch you saying it was the Ex over Mx
Your headlamp flicker is giving me a headache. Just get some garage lights, they're cheap!
@@routybouty Agreed! That was the first and last time I use that lamp!
lol. You’re like a dad with his first baby.
Accurate!
Hate the black lines in the video. Prolly need to get some better lights in your garage since you said you wish it came earlier in the day.
@@MrBgyfz450 It was a head mounted light that caused the problem. Won't be using that again!
👊
Get a better mic
He doesn't want his wife to see what he is doing in the garage.
Blehhh..u should had bought a new Yzf. Now thats a dirtbike, not this overexpensive pitbike
I have a Yamaha WR250F as well for when I need a gas bike. You should try a Varg. You won't be calling it a pit bike for long if you do.
