Miss the 6 speed Gas Gas transmission sometimes, but that's really only whenever I'm on a road. Electric start is tits, when you're gassed and in a fucked up spot, it's so nice to hit the button and go. |

 Getting out for my first ride this year tomorrow. Got a big rental remodel done this week that I have been slow walking and grinding on for the last couple months. Did a bunch of bike maintenance today. Washed, plush mousse and Shinko 216 installed on the rear, rekluse core manual clutch installed, rk teck 0-10k head installed, put on a axp extreme skid plate, changed the tranny oil, clean air filter, lubed the wheel bearings. I’m excited to see how the head and clutch do. Ripped it for a mile or so around the place today on my orchard roads and it pulls hard and the clutch feels great. We will see how it does in the woods tomorrow. |

Sure matches the terrain! I've been on trails where I wished I was riding something like that. Seems like it must have a very small gas tank. What's your range with it?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jodan1776: Sure matches the terrain! I've been on trails where I wished I was riding something like that. Seems like it must have a very small gas tank. What's your range with it? It holds 4L, so just over a gallon. Range varies depending on the riding, this ride was 32 miles and I still had .2L in the tank when I got back, so 32MPG. I've seen as low as 25MPG when spending a bunch of time hitting hill climbs and nearly 37MPG when doing a lot of logging road cruising. I always carry extra fuel, either in a backpack or a tank bag. Between the tank and the easily carried extra fuel, you can go farther than your legs will last, about 40 miles of this terrain is when I start to tap out. The guy I was riding with a couple weeks ago up here was wishing he had one instead of his KTM 200 after we had to cross a few downed trees. |

Took my brother on his first adv ride, he's 6'3" and looked comical on my wife's old F650GS. It had just stormed and the forest service road was a pretty good representation of most of the dirt / gravel roads here in western VA / eastern WV. Plenty of rocks, ruts and a few slick spots. He's ridden a dirt bike once. Took the Blueridge Parkway back home. Had so much fun he bought himself a '22 KLR adv with low miles and lots of farkles the next week.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Anastasios: Electric bikes seem to be improving rapidly. I'd like to take one out for a ride. I think in 5 or 10 years they will be pretty amazing. I've always loved the small, light bikes (rode a DRZ400 for years) so the electric really appeal to me. There is a pretty big aftermarket for them already but I don't have any desire to drop 10k into a 5k bike like some of these guys. The Stark Varg has lots of HP and seems like a pretty nice bike from what I've seen/read. It's 13k but seems a much better option than spending a bunch of money upgrading a cheap bike. |

I see an Alta Red on the local FB regularly. I'd love it, plenty of range to get to from work, quiet, more than enough power. Pretty sure it would be fine to follow the kids in the woods. But at $9k I'll keep dreaming while I ride $3k bikes.

I'd love to have a plated XT for something a little more relaxed, and because I have yet to ride a modern 2 stroke. |
