@Phoo, @Firebolter, and anyone else that pre-ordered give me a shout. I left a msg on your phones. I got to see one today and ride it just a tiny bit. :thumbup:

Re: 2 Stroke FI

The new KTM 2T bikes are TBI vs TPI. Don't know why folks don't expect first year teething issues - just like they had w/ TPI. KTM definitely uses its customers as guinea pigs.

Re: New ULTRA Bee

Electrics can't really replace gas bikes yet (nor in the foreseeable future.) Range will continue to be an issue. They can be a fun 2nd bike though! The one exception IMO might be the Mechatecno Dragonfly electric trials bike. Looks like it might even be better than gas. Range isn't typ a big issue ...

Re: New ULTRA Bee

That is the one shortcoming of Ebikes is slow speed ability to modulate the power. I am sure they are getting there but yeah, sometimes you have to be ready when you whack it. Not as forgiving as ICE for slow speed work, for now anyway. Hitting logs just right is harder on Ebikes, for me anyway- I ...

Re: New ULTRA Bee

Stephen have you researched the new offerings from EM having a clutch and overall batt range? They offer that adventure based model (still trials platform). My beef with the trials is it needs at least a couple speed gear box. Having the ability to go from zero to 40 in a whiskey throttle does not ...

Re: New ULTRA Bee

Quick update. Dan and I rode Eagle Bay two weekends ago. I rode the UB and used 60% of the battery in ~16mi so it won't make two laps :( The fork is really hard. The rear end really wallows. Rode the spare KTM E on the second lap (short story: I bought another one that was too good a deal to pass up...

Re: Stark VARG

Electric Cycle Rider just got his and posted his first ride video (He did ride prototype out in Spain before.) Says the power and handling is nuts. Was using 40hp in the woods and said was all he could use. No comment on range yet.

Bumping this thread. I know Twist and HuskyMatt have now done it.

Sep 15-18 could work for me. I've penciled it in the calendar for now to keep that weekend open.

Re: Laugh of the day

We can laugh all we want but he may be in the ballpark. Hagerty values them at $16.1k in just 'good' condition. I think all his mods detract value (its only original once) but he might very well get close to asking if he finds the right collector? https://www.hagerty.com/valuation-tools/kawasaki/z1b...
