I did ride😂 clearly you missed the point. The bike had issues, they fixed it, and when they did, it ripped. After a few delivery delays and further upgrades the first customers have received their bikes. Check out their videos and I think you’ll see that the bikes have been worth the wait.

Thanks for the comments Kirk, but really the bike, in my opinion doesn’t need to be lowered, its hands down the best handling mx bike I’ve ever ridden in over 45 years since I first threw a leg over a dirt bike.

Hi Kirk, you wont be disappointed with the handling of the Varg, shorter or not none of the Husky’s have better handling than this bike. Its still ranks as the best handling mxer I’ve ridden, especially if you’re used to 4 strokes.

It had been pretty hot over a number of weeks in Spain and hard pack is pretty standard for Iberian tracks. Check out Brian Haskell’s latest videos on YT. He’s ridden various tracks in the US on the Varg. I think youll like what you see.

Same here! Had huyabusa, got old school gsxr1100h So naturally I assume I can do this on less powerful bikes! But these guys and girls have a different set of skills! I'm torn between the 2023 v strom 1050de, triumph 900 rally pro or the new 1200 which is only 10% heavier than the 2022 900! Gota hate 1st world problems!

If the claims are real, its a very good price. First the gas bikes come with a poor chain, you’ll usually have to buy a o-ring or x-ring chain but not on this one. You’ll also have to pay a lot to have the good spring rates for your weigh but not on this one. You also don’t need to add after market. Just that is a better value but after some hours, you are suppose to check your valves, timing chain, piston ring, clutch, oil change etc… So if even keep it 2 years, it is a much better price. The only thing i am waiting to be sure before giving them my money is if the battery can keep the 1h on mx track. By the way, they give you a 2 year warranty something that you can’t have on a dirtbike.

@@mxriderdakar not worth 19k in Australia its unregsted dirt bike can only be used on privet property ,that money i can buy a new 500exc and throw a biger tank on it 12.5liter ride 300klms on one tank and on the road legal

@@twistedthrottle8513 yeah i understand but it’s ok, what’s good is it’s a new type of bikes for maybe different type of market. Some are on road bikes, some dirtbikes, some 2 strokes, some 4 strokes. As long as the sport can go on, we should all be happy having a new manufacturer. All gas dirtbikes are also too expensive now days. The first cellphones were too expensive, now you can have all price. There are other ebikes at a better price, but that one will have premium components. Don’t forget how much cost a factory edition. In canada 15000$+15% taxe, the varg is supposed to cost me 16250$ all taxes included.

@@mxriderdakar yeah give 5 years they might do enduro version with street rego leds lighting kit and more Ah amp hours no so critical of weight savings but still with in 350cc or 300cc enduro weight ,battery tec may change in 5 years i am off grid on 14kwh of lithum lipo4 cells and could charge it for free up to 4000w charging power at 240volt,

The "power unit" of the Fantic XEF 250 Enduro is the high performance, light and reliable Yamaha 250 4-stroke, with double overhead camshaft and cam profile dedicated to Enduro use.

Thanks for your comments, interesting perspective and certainly have plenty of truth to them. There are however a few other factors to consider in the advancement of electric powered machines. People just resist change and hanker after 'the heydays' but looking back in half a decade for the new kids that will ride these without reference to the good old days, it may be that they have the same feelings as we do towards 2 strokes. In the meantime we can count ourselves lucky since we get to ride them all. :)))

@@RustSports Well ... we have not ridden them all, yet. Harley killed Alta and the Stark Varg is still MIA and looks to be for some time.

Glad you like the review. I'm sure you're going to love it. I did

Well said!, thanks for sharing.

Pleasure, glad you liked the review. Amazing machines.

Well thats a bit crap of us... Thanks for letting us know. We'll get to adding the audio track.

Thanks Timothy, much appreciated. Enjoy!

Thanks!

Its a constant battle for sure, ever one of us has to do our part to present a positive image while on the green lanes. Appreciate the comments

Hi Makis, Thanks for the post. Its so hard to make a choice for a do-it-all bike. As far as I'm concerned the WR is too heavy and is a handful on an mx track. Frankly I would suggest a Husky 501 (due to linkage). It would commute well and is a cracking bike that can handle enduro and mx equally well and is way lighter than the WR. The power on the 501 is also way more manageable due to the bore and stroke versus the wr450f that can be a lot more brutal, especially the newer ones. If you're using the 501 on the mx track or enduro the Air fork will allow no-cost adjustability without having to revalve the forks for a particular discipline. Thats my two cents. Hope that helps and good luck. Warren

Ever ridden one? I bet not.

No kidding, we couldn't agree more.

Hey Paul, This bike for Vets is going to be a banger.

I am so glad to here it as I am 58 and kids now 22 and 23 who hate shifting, long time rider Ia m so excited to one soon, How much? did you order of the website? Happy for you!

Hi Markus, I wouldn't worry about the choice of a handbrake, the adaption from a foot brake took about 5-10 minutes and once I had adapted I'd choose the handbrake option now. If you've ever ridden a bicycle (which Im sure you have) it comes pretty naturally. Hope that helps.

what type of milage and what speeds to get to work?

@@RustSports about 39 min there n back but mostly hitting max speed as dual carriageway ways

Nobby I think that this would be an awesome machine for the TET. I like small and simple when in the middle of nowhere. Personally I like adventuring on smaller bikes but the 700 does have its advantages too. It would come down to which parts of the TET you plan on doing and the time of year. Winter and technical going and the WR would be my choice. Conversely, Summer and trails it would be the T7.

@@RustSports thank you im a total noob (road only) so am planning on getting some paid mx training first and taking advice from seasoned folks like yourself. thanks again!

Hi Ronald, thats the thing about choice, we now have another option to float our boats. It's a welcome addition to some of us and others like yourself are welcome to walk on by. Thanks for the comments.

@@RustSports Will absolutely, totally walk on by . Just not a motorcycle. And with Government intrusion there will be no choice to make . When they ban internal combustion engines . No thanks .

about 12k

Our pleasure, thanks for watching.

Beat me to it.... Really though.... Like.... What bike are you talking about.

Hey chaps, it was the Indian - my butt was so sore after that ride I clearly did not articulate myself very well. The triumph was a dream and actually I liked the Indian save for the very hard seat, short suspension travel and and as a taller chap, the rider triangle was a bit cramped. All fixable with a few after-market parts. Thanks

You learn something everyday - cheers thanks for the facts. I am not a huge trials follower but Dougie Lampkin obviously had a hand in designing / building a premium machine with Vertigo. Clearly both brands build quality machines and have innovated along the way. Much appreciated.

@@RustSports Indeed! I would love to see a n enduro version of this one!

Hi Anthony, thanks so much for your comments. Honestly I can say that you will still have to be in relatively good shape to get the best out of the bike - like any sport it pays to be prepared. What I can say is that it is easier and safer to ride than any petrol bike I've ridden for many reasons. One is the lacking of having to battle inertia, two is that ability to immediately correct bike trajectory in the air without the risk of stalling and of course there is less to think about and less movement not having clutch and gears. That all leads to being less demanding on you. Its not enough though in my opinion to stop you having to be in good shape to get the best out of the bike.

@@RustSports for sure, maybe i took it too far but if they are easier and safer to ride then the physically demanding part has to decrease some which was what im excited about, hours of fun without having to be so tired. Gonna run the battery dead and get stranded cause im so carried away ill check the time and realize how long ive ben riding and think to myself “wow I’ve probably never rode for that long by just freeriding”

I dont think so. You still have to have balls to hit the jumps and I suspect just as fit if not more because the torque and change in riding still. no shifting and more on the riding and faster will for sure push the limit. I really want one because of the up keep is better, I dont have to rebuild the engine, change the oil, oil filter, shifter AND my KIDS can ride now who HATE the shifting which will open this sport up to ALOT more people and its FUN for the HWOLE Family especailly since I can drop it back to a 250 or 125 for Daughter and soon where I want a 500! he he that fast it can go.

Thanks Nick, I couldn't agree with you more...I am a rainbow supporter... it was not meant to offend anyone.
