I love the App Overlay. It reminds me of my Contour GPS camera from a few years back. It was always nice to be able to see data from a ride.

Loving these Varg video's! You should get a bicycle bell on your bike, that would be hilarious 😂

Thanks for doing this brother... I hate the lack of flaggers on the SoCal tracks is frustrating.

I melted when you stopped to help the lil guy, thank you and God bless, love the bike, wish I could afford one...

You *really* should mount a horn on that thing :-) I know, probably not very MX style but hey, push the envelope!

I keep watching your Varg videos. I'm now obsessed with the Stark Varg. But, probably will never be able to afford it. But for now, watching the videos are still a treat! Great content.

I like it, it adds another piece to the evolution clock of bikes. Be interesting to see it in a race moto.🖖

Rockin' some Journey. Love it!!! Thanks for posting these Bryan.

Dude you rip!! I hope Stark makes a trail version of the Varg, i'd love to get myself one if so.

69 is that squid who can't hold a line, weaves all over the track then throws a tantrum because someone takes the line he vacated to pass him That little gas it to cut you off dirt sample was pathetic

What are your lap times compared to the Alta and compared to a 450?

Thank you for making these videos.Means more than you could ever know...

Cool footage again, with the overlay adding a great element to watch on top.

Agree they need to divide the small bikes from the large... thats how they do it in the North West where I did my younger riding... Every track down here is like that... little ones crashing.. no flaggers...

Def needs a horn… Dang battery wen farther than I thought and you put in a long ride! Killin it

Let’s see a moto in 80hp mode! And, it’s time to install that left hand rear brake.

Its official, Dubach is a god, as evidenced by him disappearing into the clouds!

Number 69... says it all.

dude...clear the step up! great video man, thanks

Love the app overlay!!

Dude I appreciate that you stopped for the little guy down.

the overlay works very well!

I like the overlay, Nice Whips. In the overlay the top green area should be speed not %charge same with the graphs they should be flipped.

Nice riding the second of 2 large jumps where Doug D. went by you that looks huge must be 70 ft or more not yet yah 🤘

Very nice of you to help the little one 🏅🥳 Do you think all Varg-orders will follow thru and be delivered to every customer who are waiting?

I think #69 must be one of those guys on vitalmx.... lmao

The app is alright, there's just about a 4 seconds delay in this video (not synced). It fluctuates like that because that's how showing voltage of lithium-ion cells work, you get voltage drop during load (more power output, more drop) and then it recovers slowly. You'll get used to reading it during no load! Also, yes, your power will get lower the lower your state of charge is because the power is a function of voltage * amperage, and the amperage is fixed by the power level, and the voltage gets lower when the state of charge is lower. Hope that clears some things up, awesome riding my man!

Early 2000's, raced a local Texas series during a torrential/flooding rain storm. Flooded the track and the rain never stopped. The river nearby overflowed and came rushing across a section of the track up to the footpegs. Under my helmet I was thinking how crazy this was to be in a actual race with the conditions as they were. Just had to ride or not finish. Then at another track, during a similar series, different year it rained, snowed, and sleeted while we were racing. Before the races started, no snow. A few hour before and during the day, white ground and frozen googles.

I like the overlay, very cool to see. When's the trail riding video coming?

good man for helping him

Driving with good music as well!

Love the videos. Q: Why aren't you using the whole 80hp?

Can you do a video explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the different engine braking options?

How does it compare to a 450 riding at the end of the day, when track has dried out, braking bumps, hard pack? Less tiring? More?

There was a guy that rode a Alta locally who had a beep beep horn. Worked great

Very good test Bryan, Personnaly i was ready to buy a used Alta when the Varg came out, so i was very happy with the big claims. I will probably keep my order with stark but i am a little disappointed. You know the bike was supposed to be 242 lbs, and with the 6kw battery was supposed to do a 35 minutes moto on an mxgp track with a rider like tortelli. The bikes were also supposed to be deliver a long time ago (but for that one, i can understand the reasons of delay even if i ordered mine december 14 2021 and will receive it September 2023) You just did a 34 minutes moto on an easier track than Mxgp, with the 6.5 kw battery, and i guess you don't ride harder than Seb. My guess is that the heavier riders will have less range, and the 18 lbs added are removing the 0.5 kw benefits. I also personally don't care loosing the 100$ deposit, but they had to allowed the people who changed there mind, because they haven't respected the delays and the bikes descriptions. It's like ordering a tesla cybertruck and receiving at the end a tesla 3.

The overlay is good. Keep it.

Ok. so right at the very end as Bryan pulls off the track, there's a dude with nervous novice green plates, in shorts and no helmet who looks like he's about to get on the track, and I'm torn between "noooo!" and "OMG turn your head around. I have to see this!"

B. you need a horn. get a train horn, ride up on them silently and then make them soil themselves. first varg in the country couldn't have gone to a better man, love the vids. how does the alta stack up to the varg now that you're getting used to it? inquiring minds want to know.

Is the range so far, similar to Stark's claims?

great tunes also

That SOC need som tuning. What we see is not battery increasing when on power but the delay. So the lower numbers are measured a couple seconds before we see it. What we need is a function that take throttle position into account and a lo pass filter. Tuned right it should give a steady % with no regards to how much throttle you apply,

I'd say your pass on #69 was completely legit. I'd say you scared him as you can't hear your bike compared to a gas powered bike. He still had no right to try and hold you up. Funny thing is as I was watching your Vid my wife picked up on the noise and said it sounded like baby pigs squealing . I listened and she's right. Lol. Thanks for the vid and can't wait to see you in an actual race.

Nice riding, hope to get ours later this year. You mention a power drop at about 20% is this in al mappings? Maybe if you set it on lower power you don’t notice this? Or maybe at 15 or 10% battery?

The App overlay is very interesting. You mentioned at 35:24 (around 29 min riding time) that the power faded a little bit but you still jumped the triple at that moment. The next round at 37:24 and 31min riding time you didn‘t jump it. So it will not be possible to count on the 20 percent mark to be sure the power is always on max output ? Was the moment you jumped it sketchy ?

Was there an extra plug for headlights or turn signals?

When will you try the hand rear brake?

Love the coverage, can't wait to get mine. Believe it or not those riders that you yell at aren't trying to get in your way, they are just trying to have fun riding.

Nice riding Bryan, I notice you do not crash very much, but you still ride pretty fast, I was the same in my riding days, I knew my limitations, and I rode right on that edge. I like the app overlay, it would be nice if the quality on it was a little better, it's kind of blurry.

Bryan, The question still remains is could the pros do a 30min moto without killing the battery, be it supercross or outdoor mx? Your thoughts?

Did you ever explain how the registration process went with your new Stark Varg? I know you ordered it online, then it was shipped from Spain to your California home address, correct? What happens after that? Like, are there any stickers or paperwork that you could show to prove your bike is "legal?" Like if you went trail riding within a state OHVRA? I know when I used to go with my ICE bikes, they would look for a sticker... for example, as you probably know, California has had a Green/Red sticker policy. Thanks for the video and all of the information your have provided (and hopefully will provide more). 👍 PS: BTW, that overlay feature is really cool... how did you do that?! PPS: It didn't go unnoticed to me that you can use their phone app while wearing riding gloves, which is VERY cool/handy (pun intended) 😂

Is it me or do the combustion engine bikes already seem to be old compared to this? Great video and information.

5.31.23 Great video. Any racing coming up? Good podcast with Steve Matthes fly racing. I am guessing from the podcast Stark has not shipped any more bikes? Good internet sniffing to find the Stark order entry. Yes liked the app overlay. Good that you have the pit crew with you. I have a similar kind of dog. Black lab, blue healer mix. I rescued him from jail. Currently 15+ years old. On practice riding days riders are all over the place. When are you going to mount the hand brake for the rear? That person riding the #69 bike is going to come find you in the pits and thump you. When are you going to put numbers on the bike?

#69 needs a bud light

Overlay stays! Play with the placement. Thanks for the content !

Désolé je ne parle pas anglais mais saurais-tu me dire combien de temps la batterie tient avec ton roulage

the varg needs a horn lol...has there been any honest discussion on this?

need to put a horn on that thing and make it like the tesla so it can play different noises like farts and stuff

Would love to see how long this bike will last in the woods with moderate riding

Bike is Beautiful & looks Fast :), you should fit a Horn though as Shouting isnt going to go down well long term...

👌🥇

Whats with the SOC all over? Are they using voltage to get state of charge. Seems a bit weird

you can try the stark varg recuperates when driving downhill for a long time please;-)

Does the bike regenerate more battery level if you use more engine break? Or is that irrelevant?

The battery percentage fluctuation almost looks like it is trying to predict what your battery will be after a period of time or after a lap. It doesn't make sense that is fluctuates that much to indicate current battery charge.

I bet that dude's anger charged your Varg and gave you some stamina lmao

Boy these are going to cause some big accidents. I'm all for electric, but damn. No noise is a problem.

this never compare to a full gas tank... but i like the bike, nice video!

What's the white bike called and how does it compare

Need a different mapping or just don't wanna send the jump at 31:07 ? Looks like a fun step up. And that moron who tried running you high and taking himself out is ego trippin, #1 rule if your guna take someone out is dont take yourself out 😂 And #10 seemed fast but passed you pretty aggressively for an average track day. He has a motor, at least he can just rev it and you'll be able to hear it and move over safely. Also bless you and riders like you for looking out for the kids!🙏🏽

The percentage jumps around a lot because the elections are sloshing around in the tank!

@bwhaskell i asked Stark why they haven’t put a sensor for the fan and there is there answer: Thank you for contacting Stark. The fan will turn on once the temperature of the powertrain reaches 45ºC. Below that temperature it should not turn on, if so please contact us. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can assist you with. Maybe you should tell them that yours stays on. You may have more range then.

do you have any idea about the top speed on this bike? I know it doesn't matter but still just fun to know

Can we see full power already?

can you change percentage to Wh? this would be a much better reference since percentage is quite literally relative

You need that handlebar rear brake setup

The battery will not be enough for prorider at Gp heats

Are you getting better lap times like for like compared with your gas bike?

possible de faire un dépars arrêter avec une 250 et une 450 cdt

Auto like for checking on a downed rider regardless of age. 🏆👍

Nice with the overlay. But why do you always jump short at the stepup? I mean you jump the big doubles as well. Why always case the stepup?

haaahahaha Dr. D wasnt havin it bub.....

hey man you should get a horn for the bike. weird i know but its better than getting taken out / taking someone else out

i have no doubt that the varg can handle a supercross setting but i think stark's got some work to do to get the varg through a 30 min + 2 laps outdoor moto, especially on the mid-west and southeast tracks where a typical track day is over 100 degrees with 100% humidity ...........

Almost need a bell till the other riders get used to the idea just because they don’t hear you doesn’t mean you aren’t there.

I race hare scrambles on a 300 2t with stock silencer. Im usually short shifting and using bottom end power around the track. You would'nt hear me coming up on you either..not everyone rides 4 strokes with loud ass pipes..ride at your skill level and let the person behond you make his pass safely.

Weird how mph is read off rear wheel so it's all over the place

Get rid of the noise and I might consider buying one

Need a little horn to hoot when you want to notify other riders

Nice with overlay but strange that you cant see power level aswell.

well done taking care of tyhat kid - no need to comment on the rest really

They should do the battery % based on milliamps consumed, not voltage

I finally figured out what sound these bikes have... Husquvarna... sewing machines.

#69 is a total spode.

These need a horn! Beep beep

Always thought the bike needs a horn of some type …….. I believe stark missed this its clearly very obvious of the potential danger …… shouldn’t be that difficult to add , a wise man will live to ride another day .

The dad had an aussie accent .

TOP la télémétrie , ( visible pour nous , batterie en haut et puissance utilisé en bas ) Bryan si tu peux nous ( écrire ici ) les puissances que tu utilises pour chaque sortie moto : 50ch , 60 ch , 70ch , 80ch ? Je suis français , je ne comprends pas la langue américaine . désoler Merci . Pilote n° 69 ( un crétin ) 🥶🤮

You have skill I can only dream of, fabulous rider to watch. I suck at dirt biking. But I ain't blind. #69 passed you the exact same way, in the exact same spot you did on him. Except you had way more grace and didn't dump it, and perhaps he didn't like e-bikes. But it really doesn't negate that your pass was identical. You squirted by on the inside and cut his front wheel going into the corner crossing to the outside leaving him with no real estate. For someone being so vocal about riders crossing paths on the track, you sure put out long videos that can be critiqued and you cross many lanes in your motos. Albeit safer because you are typically ahead of the pack and earned that lead, but if they can't hear you... then they too think they are leading in that moment. Amateurs are just that; amateurs. That's likely a large portion of your audience. You have acted like this in other videos too when kids get squirrely. AM's are gonna be squirrely, but they keep the industry running too, they keep tracks open. And be polite, you have an audience. That guy offering help, he's just a perfect stranger checking on you. The least you can do is say thanks, he may even be a subscriber. I can only imagine the frustration of having to ride alongside crap riders like myself, but you have all the skill, self awareness, and experience to read the track and riders compared to the avg. weekend warrior. This should help you avoid confrontations. Pick your spots better and you won't have to have runs-ins with aggressive am's. #69 was living his best life and you stuffed him. Then his ego got in the way. But don't let yours get in the way. Anyway, keep up the great riding and building your brand, but please don't forget, most of us dream to have your skill level but have no other place to ride. You were a grom or a squid at one point too. And crap riders like me will never improve much, but we still love the sport will be present everywhere you go.

You need to put a bell or a horn on that thing instead of yelling
