MOTO 101 | GUY MARTIN RACED A STARK VARG ON THE BEACH!

[@MrRobjones70]

Great to see the electric bike being charged with a diesel/ petrol generator 😂😂

[@pauloakes6952]

Who cares where the power comes from. Emotos are fun.

[@maucina12]

Best thing about electric is ability to secretly ride in forbidden places. While still having great performing bike

[@martycech5844]

Diesel / petroleum generators are Best way to provide electricity out in the field!

[@BobsBikingAdventures]

Good effort coming 4th on the first event! That bike does look absolutely wicked.

[@Moto101uk]

[@EnduroUK.]

Charging em with gennies , the future 😂

[@graemebartmann7872]

That's what they have to do in South Africa 🙈☝️🤣

[@popuptoaster]

They are not in it for the green credentials, they are on them 'cos they think they are better race bikes but if you want to get pedantic about it, gennies are generally more efficient as they run at a constant speed and can more easily be set up to run on greener fuels, anything from bio diesel to LPG so given there will be charging losses it probably all comes out pretty even with an IC bike.

[@simpleman1861]

Just as funny as electric fuel pumps and spark plugs😂😂

[@See-through-The-Veil]

I’ve had many Crossers from 80cc, 85, 125, 250, 500 two strokes… Rode a Husky 500cc 4 stoke last week, and a lot of torque. But I just love 2 strokes. I’d love to have a ride on one of those Electric bikes… Guy’s a legend to me, always loved watching him road racing.. Guy will have a go at anything. Keep shining Guy ✌🏼

[@LethalLee666]

im a petrol head ! but if the world stopped making petrol there is no way i would give up my adrenalin fix and sit at home crying about the good old days i would be on one of these asap

[@pauldean8638]

There will always be vintage so always will be petrol about

[@danjames4086]

So what if they are charging them from generators? Battery tech will get better. Maybe even modular slot in cells that can be changed as fast as filling a tank. It's just the beginning. Like it or not, there's a future for these. Especially on areas where tracks get shut down because of noise concerns.

[@keqrou]

My point exactly, electric everything is superior in all but weight and range, all of which will be solved upon the improvement if the energy source.

[@simpleman1861]

@@keqroubattery tech is still in its diapers and gas is waiting to retire.

[@murdoch9106]

Love to see how much praise these Stark Varg bikes are getting, awesome ridiing, wish I could do the same, looks like so much fun!

[@Jonathan-L]

Have you ordered one yet? :)

[@chrisprobert6]

Gotta have the tea break😆👍

[@markwrenn6099]

I used to race my trx250 there absolutely brilliant day. Miss it now 😢

[@pd1648]

Takes me back - used to race there in the 70's on a Yamaha YL1 purchased from Alex Baumber

[@benfarmer1415]

Now imagine that video, in silence, just voices, no engine noise at all!! Having to charge off generators, never seen such a backwards future lol, may as well just have an ICE bike!

[@cbrider726]

Brill great fun . Guy you looked like you was having fun out there. Must try an electric bike one day . I was shocked at just how fast they are . Wow.

[@ashleybatt6667]

Love guy, hate to say it these are growing on me

[@achillecampion2195]

Hi there, how long would the battery last on map 3 on beach racing?

[@tylerm.7737]

What they should do is covert the clutch levet to something that modultes the power/voltage so you can emulate feathering the clutch, simple really...

[@Tazdeviloo7]

A reverse throttle? It wouldn't have the same feel, there's barely any flywheel weight to the electric motor. Brake on the left hand is so good though, much better modulation on the hand vs a MX boot. Feet are free to be in the best grip position and not brake/shift. The pure riding focus you can achieve on electric is so good. No distractions.

[@pauldean8638]

When one completes western supermare then I’ll be impressed

[@motoxmainia]

If thats the future im gonna live in the past

[@Carlos-o3l1j]

As soon as I realised they were electric bikes that was me done.. good night

[@rebekahfrench5747]

Fun they maybe but out in the desert i doubt the goannas will run the treadmill to charge ya toys.. fuel is hard to beat.. horses for courses.. nothing beats the sound of combustion.. 😂😂😂

[@LethalLee666]

red arch solar panels on 4x4 run my welder for 4 weeks at a time so pretty sure it will charge these bikes pretty fast

[@rebekahfrench5747]

@@LethalLee666 so i guess you don't ride more than a mile from your fancy 4wd cos u scared of walkin home.. I'm talkin 3, 6 hours out in the sand n rocks and light scrub called grazing country.. not track queens.. we will stick with what works, combustion.. ev just can't come close for the long miles..

[@devonbikefilms]

@@rebekahfrench5747 not yet Rebecca, but in a couple of years, it’s coming, like it or not.

[@GrantCoppin-Brown]

True dude ,. Also all that heat would fuck an electric bike , & you’d still need a petrol generator to keep it charged .. 🤷‍♀️

[@cm-oo1td]

Should have used mode 4 by the look of it 😂

STARK VARG is here. Goodbye Dinosaur combustion engine 😃👍

[@Thejones66]

Bring them over to Channel Islands, can race on the beach in the summer ☀️

[@Moto101uk]

Sign us up!

[@Supercarlsunday]

You cant beat a two stroke, however nothing wrong with trying something different as long as the battery doesn't explode lol..

[@CJONE764]

Some peice of kit that. When Jay hammered it off the line it just took off. Once people start winning on them, i wouldnt be suprised if they get neutered for racing against all the 450s. Cant see all the bigwigs in japan & austria being happy about it.

[@Tazdeviloo7]

This happened during FIM. Stark was approved to race until last minute likely because the practice lap times were "too fast"

[@markmcmahen9442]

I don't think people realize just how good electric is. Truly is the future

[@stevenleslie8557]

"i don't want to admit it, but that's the future. Isn't it?" Said one of the gas bike riders.

[@darrenwall5439]

Combustion Engine for me ta...

[@jameslangston3903]

Electric is the Future.............Ok lads fire up the Petrol Generator!!!!!

[@stevenleslie8557]

It's about performance not saving the planet. In this department Stark is highly competitive.

[@sharoncomiskey2664]

And Jayden Haigh! Maybe add him for credits!

[@marklevy4580]

Listening to generators charging electric motorcycles...kinda deletes the petrol debate

[@BrunoXCunha]

It is not about saving the planet, it is about performance.

[@stevenleslie8557]

Varg has never pitched the green part of its bike. It has focused on performance, less maintenance and less noise. A diesel generator will not annoy people like a loud 450 will.

[@nickdows8092]

Rules say 2 or 4 stroke bikes so technically electric bikes aren’t eligible for points. Ideally a separate class should be made.

[@Tazdeviloo7]

Will be a while until there's enough electrics around for their own class. They should be in 450/open class initially then maybe their own class if there's enough of them or they dominate podiums. I want to see the ⛽ vs 🔋 battle for at least a few seasons 😂

[@topgun6025]

Got be honest more socks I put on the colder the feet get once colds in its staying In

[@vector409]

awesome

[@davecrewe9074]

[@funkiwikid6106]

Cold day, they needed an electric car to self combust and keep everyone warm. No real man would be seen on an ebike, or have his girlfriend dragging a petrol powered generator around for him. Real bikes have petrol in the tank and real girlfriends drag the beer around for their guys.

[@zaarkeru3391]

"No real man would be seen on an ebike" Buddy, you have issues with your masculinity, you are acting like a girl xD "real girlfriends drag the beer around for their guys" Just admit you're living alone you poor sob xD

Ciao, il monopattino elettrico,potrà andare anche il triplo rispetto ad un motore termico.MA,chi ha una motocicletta,ama il motore termico perché è vivo.Il suono del motore termco, fa battere il cuore.SI è vero,Voi che ci tenete al futuro del nostro pianeta,avete una ideologia di vita votata alla sostenibilità,contro l'uso del combustibili fossili e la diffusione di carne sintetica..Poi però,alla fine la buffonata,che per caricare il monopattini,usate un generatore a diesel.I canali e tutti i media di informazione,specializzate nel settore delle motociclette e delle automobili,farebbero meglio a contribuire alla continuità dei motori termici,non pubblicizzare un'offesa alle nostre passioni
