I am a 44 year old motocross rider, C Grade local club level so nothing to write home about which makes me the perfect candidate for an honest review. And by honest, I mean I'm a hard pack rider who is horrible in sand, especially deep soft sand on a new bike, at a track I have never been to before....
Could say this was the perfect proving ground to measure whether this bike is actually easier to ride than a conventional combustion engine bike.
I spent 10 or 15 minutes getting the feel for the track on my 2023 Husqvarna fc250, and to be honest, I was feeling a little nervous about getting on the Varg as I did horribly on my bike which I was already familiar with.
But, as the laps went on and I got to know the bike, very quickly might I add, my confidence grew and I started having a real good time. This video is a true testimony to how good these bikes are. In the start of the video it's pretty obvious, and funny that I was not doing too great, but as you can see, by the end of the video, there was a big difference in my ability to ride a terrain that is way out of my comfort zone. Soft fluffy sand.
Given it has a $19,000 AUD price tag, it was on loan and I wasn't completely used to it, I felt it was best to ride the easy track and not try and clear the bigger jump, but, better to play it safe than wreck a bike I can't afford yet, and myself for that fact.
I don't really have any negatives to say except I wished the MX version I rode had the rear brake in the clutch location like the enduro version had that I also had the pleasure of riding briefly. It was a really handy attribute that has never existed for me to discover until now and it's a real treat to say the least.
The rest of my thoughts are in the video so go and give it a watch.
Big thankyou to Justin Nobes from West Coast Motorcycles Joondalup in Perth Western Australia for letting me ride this thing of beauty for the afternoon and also big shout out to Nick at Mutiny Compound in Neerabup WA for making me feel welcome and letting me test the bike at your more than awesome facility.
Can't wait to get me one of these weapons.
I hope you enjoy the video and I hope it helps you decide to get an electric bike,.......
or not ha ha.
