Awesome video You make great content and so much doing it. Electric has nice power but the sound of those engines made me smile. Once the battery is done so is the fun. Then drag it somewhere to recharge
Hayabusa is such a legendary bike. It took 20 years to properly dethrone it. I still think the Hayabusa is better looking than a zx-14 but the 14 is a superb bike as well. H2 is the speed king now. Something about off-road conversions and engine swaps just makes me happy. Pretty much no one else will have anything like it wherever you go.

The best thing about this video is seeing how it does hammer down for long runs. You just never get to do that on pavement. It has a strong, durable engine for sure
I can’t believe the busa even stayed within spittin distance of that sand rail dude. Those things are probably pushin 1200+ hp. Props to you for having the cajones to ride that thing.
You made me lol fr..in under 2mins...at the top of the sand hill...as a guy that's riden bikes my whole life..thinking you might launch..then stopping a a dime..the laugh made the moment priceless🍻 thanks!
Matt is one of the best riders of any motorbike than anyone else around. He can ride just about anything at a level that most cant comprehend. He has a gift that we get to experience with his channel. He is very humble and will help anyone out that he comes in contact with. He has a sense of adventure that pulls him to these awesome adventures that we get to experience with him through his channel. He does all this by himself and despite some doubters he has doesn't have any crew to help him other than what you see. He is truly a great person with a amazing sense of adventure that he has chosen to share with us. Keep on kicking a$$ Matt.
Good meeting you. Awesome video! Calling me out for sandbagging?!!! lol After the turbo on the busa let’s rematch next June 2025! Your other videos are awesome like the content keep it coming.
I'm old school with well over 250,000 street miles on an FJ1100 and FJ1200 so I'm able to imagine what 200 hp feels like and I am amazed what you do on that beast. This channel rocks!
They all have sand tires on the rear. If anything it's holding it back. Like for reference the KTM is putting down 50ish torque. The varg is putting down 900+. PEVs are wacky off the line.
@@autismion A little under 500ish. Ev will always be on another level with torque. It's nearly just throttle to power to the wheels. Hit the throttle, magnets move with the sprocket, sprocket moves the secondary with the wheel. Then direct drive hub is literally instant. Combustion you have air intake, spark plug ignition, fuel injection, piston movement, cam, gearbox, etc. Granted also speed is getting on another level too. But, gas will always come out on top for distance and time to refuel.
I had my suspicions about the Varg being able to deliver that much power under the heavy load for a sustained amount of time. I’m guessing the reason it’s reduces power after a few seconds at full throttle is to prevent it from overheating either the motor or more than likely the battery
@@boddysurferyes I understand. It’s called battery sag. Once the volts drop it can’t deliver the watts being demanded anymore and the ESC will shut off the power to prevent overheating due to high amp draw to make up for lost volts (volts x amps = watts). My point was more pertaining to the fact that the amount of watts required to deliver 80hp sustained under a heavy load such as hillclimbing in sand, would produce a lot of heat in a system as small as the Varg.
@@kraigvanderwyk1153 100%. Impressed the Varg didn't melt under that kind of use. I doubt they did this kind of durability testing over there in Spain 😂
We in Germany were in tears 😭 to have sadly witnessed our great messiah Matt Spears getting smoked by a desert racer. So after some discussion we all agreed it was time to level the playing field and, to bring fairness back Matt might consider re challenging on a Boss Hoss V-8; turbocharged of course 😉
I want to hit the sand dunes... That looks like so much fun. I need to wait a little bit longer in my back surgery recovery. The dunes look like a really good time. So next week's video, we see the hayabusa take some hard knocks! I was glad to see you on your feet after the bike tumbled down, throwing your hands up. You are absolutely insane. By the way, and I would like to ride motorcycles with you. Lol. I still have no idea what I am doing. But I'm going to do some really big and cool stuff pretty soon. I'm not quite 2 months out from that back surgery and I have already been riding motorcycles. It feels good, and I am not even remotely recovered yet. The Tiger 1200 is so much easier to handle, now. I'm in western Washington. Want to trail ride some PNW trails with a street bike sometime? Next summer video idea? I am going to ride my 2023 Tiger 1200 GT Explorer on dirt bike trails, for fun. And maybe my Burgman 650 Executive. It could do some of those, easily! Hah. Keep going, Matt! These really odd video ideas. You have of seeing what a street bite can do off-road doing different things with it. That's what we want to see. And you have really cool buddies. And you're genuine on camera and just being yourself. Keep that going! Hopefully, I will be able to join you next year for some really fun stuff. I was able to ride a mountain bicycle 6 days out of major spine surgery. Because I felt better at that point. Than I did before surgery. If you ever blow a disc in your back. And it isn't healed in 6 months, get surgery as soon as you can. 12.5 years was miserable. And I was still able to ride motorcycles up to 2 days before surgery. I waited almost 4 weeks before riding for the first time. Lol. I don't recommend being that extreme, but I'm just saying, it totally worked out... Keep going!!! Your videos are good! You're headed for some insane things. My insane goal is to jump a motorcycle off of a cliff and land at the bottom of the canyon safely. Hang glider... I want to do some really crazy. Fun stuff. It's all possible.
Gawd that Suzuki has been through some shit 😂. It's almost unrecognizable from how it started and the fact you call it Būssy makes it even better. Also the circle wheelies on the Stark were clean as hell. Keep ripping Matt 🤙🏼
that teaser at the end ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can't wait! that's some great drone footage, it's so freaking cool that it managed to stay with the bike as it rolled down the hill RIP in pieces busa
channel is so under rated.. some of the realist guys out there . awesome to see what parsons thought of all of them. have looked uo to him for years 🤘🏻🔥
Awesome video! I rode my ktm 990 with a paddle in the dunes a few times and it was set up for the dirt. How you wheel that Busa around like that is absolutely epic 😂💪💪
Love the videos you make, im so happy I saw your gold wing videos and subbed that time. I am on a lookout for a gw 1500 so who knows. Much love from Norway
Great video! Matt's a special kind of crazy!😂😎 I might just have to win that Varg, and being an Idaho native myself I won't have to drive far to come get it 😉
Come try Sand Mountain approx. 700 vertical feet in Utah Little Sahara for a longer and more worthy dune climb and altitude too. Truly test the machines, all 3 are wicked fast no disrespect.
So many people are in denial of an eletric bike being the fastest one out there. Beat a built 450. The 200hp street bike engine was pulling though, just couldn't lay down the power as fast. Change the sprocket on the varge and it might not...

Your comment was exactly the same thing I was going to type. Damn near verbatim. Great minds think alike, apparently. 😂
Car was insane!! Capable of 1800hp but I don’t think it was turned all the way up. Blew my mind
The goldwing would destroy them all
It would sink in the sand like a rock in honey
Too heavy even with a paddle tire
Yea crash into both = destroy
I was thinking more like the Harley street glide 🥸
@@AARONLT25 I think you morons missed his joke lol
So cool, that race car was no joke. Great comparison of the 3 different bikes.
Best small channel, right now. I know you'll break through, keep up the good work. Love the light hearted energy Matt brings.
Yeah he’s really doing some fun stuff I like it a lot
keen to see his videos when his channel is larger and he has a higher budget
Love the David Bowie back ground music 🎼! !
You made me lol fr..in under 2mins...at the top of the sand hill...as a guy that's riden bikes my whole life..thinking you might launch..then stopping a a dime..the laugh made the moment priceless🍻 thanks!
Exactly my thoughts. That pure laughter of joy was great :)
"Idaho sand snake!!!” 😂😅 Great video, Matt! Love watching you SHRED on that 'Busa! We need more Kev in the movie! Be safe, bro!
Another classic Kev line 😂

Paddle tyre is probably helping the Varg a bit. Still crazy fast though . Awesome.
the busa has paddles too

I'll never get tired of hearing the hayabusa rev in the dunes. These videos are pure gold thanks Matt, can I win the Varg if I'm in Europe?
Insane Video guys and props for the cars for joining , added a different element to this Video :)
Those cars were epic!!
Matt, you are a friggin wildman. Don't ever cut your hair, I truly believe it holds your super powers that allow you to ride so well!
I had my suspicions about the Varg being able to deliver that much power under the heavy load for a sustained amount of time. I’m guessing the reason it’s reduces power after a few seconds at full throttle is to prevent it from overheating either the motor or more than likely the battery
Don't forget about Smokin the ESC...Electronic Speed Controller.
From what I've seen in other videos once the battery drops to 20% you do start to lose power. I believe its to prolong battery life.

Matt, the content keeps getting better and better! Thanks for pumping out the vids
That car was insane!!! Almost as insane as you on the busa 😆 🤣 😂
Thank you
The 'Busa is just sick and though the electric may be fast it is bereft of a soul. Thanks for a fun video you guys had a blast.
That sxs u raced at the end was beautiful 🥺 great video
When the cars and bikes are blasting through the sand, it looks like a Mad Max scene.

Most underrated channel on RUclips! You guys rock

The busa is just an insane machine. You're a brave man for riding it that hard
Them sand rails are on a diff level.
So good 😂😂. The Busa is insane hahaha
That Electric is an animal, but there is only one thing that electric is missing.... BRAAAAAAP! BRAAAAAAAAP! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
Fureekin' awesome Matt! Great energy with the sand drags and chucking the "Boose" around like a boss.
Just need a maco 700 to round it out.
that teaser at the end ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
can't wait! that's some great drone footage, it's so freaking cool that it managed to stay with the bike as it rolled down the hill
RIP in pieces busa
Matt just seems like a nice guy. Thanks for the content
Great riding and filming! So fun to watch all those rip!
Love your videos
I'm glad I've found your channel Matt, you make great videos about something I always dreamt of - street bike off road :)
the hyabusa throws sand like a tunnel race boat on calm water. THAT IS SOME POWER.
😂 The Hayabusa is still one of the most exciting adventure bikes... Certainly at Hell's gate
That high end torque is scary , I'm guessing you have magnets to keep your giant steel balls stuck to the seat
MATT SPEARS, INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN ON THE MICROPHONE 🎤
Great video Matt. The Busa needs a turbo dude!!!! Get on it brother.
No clutch on the busa hahahahaha ☠️☠️☠️
Oh noooo busa, RIP. Great video once again!
Hopfully there will be some tech wizz who will know how to ungovern the stark and unleash the full madness that bike has.
The sticker kit on the KTM is sick!!
this is some of the best content on youtube i've seen. keep shredin
5:57 Cutest cloud ever!
channel is so under rated.. some of the realist guys out there . awesome to see what parsons thought of all of them. have looked uo to him for years 🤘🏻🔥
ps might need a turbski on the busa 🤣🤙🏻
Man it look so fun out there
I had a stretched widened Banshee with an old Cbr 600 Engine stuffed jn it. That was so much fun in the dunes
Can’t wait to see the snowbike stark! Keep up the great videos Matt!
Yea it will cool for 12 minutes 😂😂till the battery shits the bed in the cold temps
Your the sickest I ride a gold wing even took it off road but props to what you make it do your a bad ass
love your vids man keep up the great content and your bike still rips
The person who invents a device that makes an electric motorcycle sound like a 2 stroke will be a millionaire.
The High-Abuse-Ha! is always a treat to see.
Awesome video! I rode my ktm 990 with a paddle in the dunes a few times and it was set up for the dirt. How you wheel that Busa around like that is absolutely epic 😂💪💪
This was a great video and I really love seeing the busa rip
The colour scheme on the KTM is perfect! 🤙🏽
Awesome video Matt! Love the Busa
Yah matt -
Where’s Piggy ! !
She feels left out
Piggy , piggy
at about 7:15 in the video I think. He's riding some kind of piggy there from the sounds of it.
Did you notice any significant drop in the charge in the dunes vs riding in dirt? That varg is seriously impressive
U deserve many more subs......great content......
Awesome video Matt, looks like a blast, stay safe!
Million Dollar Bogen would accept your challenge on his Road King. Its been from Los Angelos through Mexico to Peru and back running on sand knobbies.
Love the videos you make, im so happy I saw your gold wing videos and subbed that time. I am on a lookout for a gw 1500 so who knows. Much love from Norway
Here we go a real enduro rider testing out this thing. That being said. Two strokes and gas bikes will never die!
this is cool, reminds me of playing motocross madness 2 back in the day
Digging the videos just stumbled across your channel. Subscribed 😊
No way can u ride that hyabusa without grinning. Awesome video
Hahaha dude so freaking epic, well done.
Love the video, but I have no desire to ever ride an electric motorcycle. On the other hand, I'd jump on your Hyabusa in a heartbeat!
Why? You afraid?
Great stuff as usual, Matt!
Great video! Matt's a special kind of crazy!😂😎 I might just have to win that Varg, and being an Idaho native myself I won't have to drive far to come get it 😉
I wish I'd live somewhere near terrain like this 😍
Holy Crap. this was fun to watch
you need to put paddles on the 450 to make it fair. good vid tho!
I won't 1 of starks I have been watching these bikes since they came out. Those bikes are on another level for the ride and thrill. Please pick me.
That stark just EATS
Fantastic….!!! Stoked to find you.
Stark Varg seems to have a tyre advantage in the sand? The ICE bike seems to have normal knobbies and the Varg seems to have scoops
I laugh every time I hear the name "Braxton" 🤣
Love this channel
It's always a fun show, bro.👍
Dude u are absolutely wild. Love it
The pov racing that car. How the f#@& do you hold on! Insane. Don’t think I can watch next weeks Busa blow up 😢😂
Was great meeting you at north 40
