I have one…I also have a KTM 300XC 2 stroke with over $6k in add on and mods on it. It was my favorite dirt bike I’ve ever owned (I’ve been riding for 40 yrs). I have about 30hrs on my Stark. I rode my KTM for the first time since I got the Stark a couple of weeks ago … long story short, the KTM is for sale. I came to the realization that I will never ride the KTM again as long as I have the Stark. I know of two others riders that said they will never ride their IC bikes again now that they have a Stark. One of them owns a KTM dealer😮 It’s that much fun and that good. Just my opinion.
