    @@cbogolo gas bikes could easily be set to lose 20hp at the touch of a button and have maps that are switchable during that race. Your point about power is a different one to my original one: the Stark IS an 80hp bike from the factory and ICE bikes may not be able to compete with that. To clarify my point is that the new variables that electric bikes present should not be artificially hamstrung by current gas bikes. The racing will of course need to be fair and that may not be possible by arbitrarily limiting these new type of bikes.

Your motorcycle adventures are truly impressive, and the exploration of different landscapes adds an exciting dimension. Pursuing what you love is indeed meaningful! May I ask if you have interest to try our carburetor? Main advantages: unlike other products made of aluminum, with good sealing performance, less gasoline evaporation and durability. Thank you for your time. Have a good day.

    It'll be interesting to see how the market responds to increasingly positive news about the Varg. You clearly can't buy anything to compete with 80hp yet but is it worth KTM doubling down on ICE tech that young people won't want to buy in future or turn up with an e-contender?

    To be fair they stopped most r&d on 2 strokes like 4 years before they started pushing 4 strokes and the first few years they sucked so thats like 7 years of no updated 2 stroke development when 4 strokes took over and that was mainly pushed by environmentalists because the American factories were in California were they put limitations on the usage of 2 stroke motors in the mid to late 90's

If they want real competitive racing that sells more bike which seems like their objective than why not allow bigger cc 2 strokes race like they did when they jumped from 400 and 426 to 450 cc 4 strokes. Bring in 300cc 2 strokes and 150's. Some guys coming from amateurs might flourish on a 2 stroke because of their style.

    I’m certain the suspension feels sooo good in large part on a Stark because of the motor and how it delivers its power. Even on a 450 with the same components (YZ450), it’s amazing the difference in suspension feel if you just stop revving it hard. Shift up a gear, let the torque do the work and it’s amazing how much more calm and compliant the suspension instantly feels.

    Taking away shifting with a clutch is massively dumbing down motocross alone. I'm not totally opposed to EV but set them aside from gas powered, clutch racing. Most likely EV will fall into place with SX, arena cross, and arena hard enduro. MX would come along with so many changes that gas would be quickly obsolete. We don't need to do that. Really it doesn't make sense to run EV with gas. Keep them separate. Gas isn't going to beat these bikes once they are refined enough. Why should they take over completely?? The whole "better for the environment" excuse is a total crock of shit! It's totally crazy that even 2 strokes were attacked for that excuse. Cars shouldn't even ne yhe subject of environmental hazard either. All the massive industries that burn literally hundreds of millions of combined gallons a day should be where EV is first being a substitute.
