Back in late 2021, I was at the press launch for the 2022 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak (here’s my review, if you’re interested). A conversation at dinner with a reviewer from Forbes (which may have been slightly alcohol-influenced) led me to put a deposit on the Stark VARG electric motocross bike. Almost three years later, that bike is now available to me but I no longer have the time to goof around in the dirt so I’m going to let my deposit go…but if you’ve been looking for one and want to jump the line, let me know!
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then I’m guessing you’re not reading this because you didn’t click on this post. But if you’re curious, here’s an explainer for you from the manufacturer:
Long story short, I was intrigued by the idea but my life has changed dramatically in the last three years and I currently don’t have the time to use it so I’m going to let my deposit/place in line lapse. My order was for a Snow White model with the 80hp motor (top-spec), Enduro rear wheel (18″), and side stand. Here are the details from my pre-order:
Because I ordered it so long ago, it’s a bit cheaper than if you wanted to order one now and I’m glad to pass that along to someone. Per Stark:
“Since you placed your order early, you have the old price. Saving you up to 1.500 $ compared to a new order ”
Want this for yourself? Email me (abhi@bike-urious.com), I’ll eat the $100 deposit and you can just grab mine. Want to make fun of me? Please do so in the comments. =)
