Did the Varg feel strange at first for you?

Took a Stark Varg out for a few motos this weekend, and honestly, I'm not sure what to think yet. Everyone hypes the handling as "game changing," but compared to my old 450, it's not all perfect. Sure, it feels lighter side to side without the gas tank weight, but I found the front end a little vague in deeper ruts. The power is wild, but sometimes it feels like too much when you just want predictable drive.

I'm wondering if it's just me needing more time on it or if the Varg really rides that different. Anyone else feel like it takes a few sessions before the handling clicks, or is this just how the bike is?

On a gas bike, the rotating mass of the engine acts like a gyroscope, which helps the bike stay stable and "track" in ruts. Without that, the Varg can feel a little different and less planted, especially when you're used to that feeling. This is what you're probably experiencing with the front end feeling vague. Have you explored the settings? Because the Varg has highly adjustable settings and you can dial back the power and change the throttle response to something more manageable for your riding style.
