I'm a die-hard gasoline engine fiend. I can distinctly recall the sound of Formula 1's V8 engines hitting me in my chest, the pulsing vibratto of an idling MotoGP racer waiting on the grid at Circuit of the Americas, the raucous howl of my own personal Can-Am Maverick X3 after I threw on a Yoshimura exhaust, and that sultry, stupid, heavenly noise of a Ducati Panigale V4 at full tilt—shivers.
But I'm also not a Luddite.
Electrification in some form or another is coming. Whether that's a hybrid or a full electric, the future is fast approaching. And even with my consternation with the US' public infrastructure, which is shit, there's more than enough fun to be had on a fully electric machine. More than that, there's a lot you can learn and teach yourself on these machines, even after decades of riding, which is what I've come to understand and love about Stark's Varg EX.
