I’m Daniel Banks, owner and founder of Stark by Banks, proudly representing Stark Future in South Australia and supporting riders Australia wide.

Motorcycles have been my life from a young age. As a former professional motocross racer, I now work as a coach and performance mechanic specialising in suspension tuning, helping riders unlock the best possible performance from their bikes.

My career has included working as a factory race mechanic for Honda Australia, supporting elite riders including Jake Cannon, and achieving Top 3 national dealership sales for WP Suspension. I’ve also built multiple successful businesses within the motocross industry, but Stark Future has become my true passion.

Why Stark by Banks Exists

My goal is simple:

To showcase how capable Stark Future motorcycles are and to provide riders with the best advice, technical guidance, and real-world product knowledge in Australia.

This is riders helping riders. No guesswork. No gimmicks. Just honest expertise backed by hundreds of hours on the bike.

Real-World Experience, Not Just Sales

I ride, test, and push both the MX and EX models every week, with over 300 hours on Stark Future bikes. That means I understand these motorcycles at a deeper level including performance, setup, maintenance, and rider feel.

If I recommend something, it’s because I’ve personally tested it thoroughly.

Supporting the Future of Electric Racing

From 2026, I am also running a Factory Supported Stark Future race team, helping develop riders and showcase what these bikes can achieve at the highest level.
