So I'm on the hunt for a supermoto. I'm really curious about the Stark Varg SM and what this bike will become over the next 5 to 10 years. I'm a little hesitant to buy anything that fairly new, I know the Stark Varg mx version has been around for a little bit now, but do you guys see Stark Varg achieving greater battery life, or do you think the battery is essentially at its max for what it could be come? I'm actually considering this bike, but the overall battery life may not be enough.

The maintenance on these is definitely way better than any gas machine, but a battery can go bad overtime or lose some charging capacity. I'm not here to bash the bike, I'm just curious what you guys think the future of Stark Varg will become. I'm fairly certain that in the next coming years, the major motorcycle manufacturers will be putting out their own supermoto versions like a crf450rl electric, for example.

I've ridden many Superbikes in my life and I'm trying to decide on which new bike to buy. This bike will be my forever bike as I have no interest in having multiple bikes, so I'm looking for "The One Bike", if that makes sense. I'm very familiar with wrenching and plan to cover all maintenance on my own and create a log book of all mods, upgrades, and maintenance. I'm leaning on either a new cbr600rr or a yz450/crf450r to convert to a supermoto.

What do you think would full-fill my lust for riding?

Note, I do live in Wisconsin currently. There is a decent amount of trails to ride, highway is 55 mph and interstate is 70 mph, but I will typically be riding highways and twisities. I love the 600cc class, but people hype of supermotos so much it makes me consider them.
