Despite my fortune of having a two-car garage, as well as a small shed, my Stark Varg EX currently resides outdoors. As does my Can-Am Maverick X3, but it at least has a tarp over it. There, it's seen snow, rain, hail, and windstorms that are nothing to shake a stick at. And while it's survived, as you'd expect, I always feel bad that it isn't being somewhat protected from the elements.
It shouldn't have to just survive, though.
Granted, I'm lucky to have the amount of storage I do have. And with a little work, or a little downsizing, I could probably find a place to park the Stark and protect it from the elements. But not everyone has that capability. Not everyone has a garage or even a big enough garage. Not everyone has a shed. One company that's rising from the ashes, however, has the solution for folks like myself and those above with a motorcycle-specific, lockable shed.
