It’s a direct copy, literally, apart from the engine everything else is chinesium, low quality metal, will probably rust faster than a bmw, weaker bearings, seals etc

Suzuki V-Strom XT Explorer moto 🏍️ eccezionale 🥇

Might want to check the engine info. I don’t think the BMW is the same engine as the Kawasaki. The BMW uses a reward-canted cylinder head with the exhaust on the back side, while the Kawasaki uses a traditional single, with the exhaust on the front of the head. I think the Voge engine is similar to the Kawasaki’s. The Voge seems popular with riders looking for a true dual sport rather than a typical adventure bike.

Nice video! I have a 1968 350 Scrambler that I'm still tweaking... I was suprised to hear you comment on how smooth the engine is, because at certain RPMs this one shakes the handlebars quite a bit!

Well lets see guys, the story continues, the engine in the voge it seams is same as the Kawasaki 300 with slightly different cover mouldings , so the as more information arrives it seems Loncin have been very involved in the moto industry collaborations for a long time.

Hello mate are you in Murcia ? Nice vids keep ‘em coming 👍

The Voge Rally at that price is a steal Paul, no such discounts in the UK unfortunately. I'm well jealous of the weather you've got, even with the torrential rains you've had. We're fighting the reality of winter here, brrr 🥶

It's similar reset for Cfmoto 800mt a.k.a 800 Ibex

A Swiss built Condor A350 is a cheap way into a Ducati single.

Having had to slow to 25 - 40 mph in gusty (25 - 30+ mph) side-winds just to stay on the road on my ~400 pound 390 Adventure, are 435 or 460 pound bikes, like the V-Strom 650, sufficiently more stable to be worth all the downsides of the extra weight? Unfortunately, few 'reviews' mention directional stability in gusty side-winds. Thanks - for whatever insights from your experiences.

BS SESSION and ride by later

The vibrations can only be minimized if the bracket is kept short. Everything has to be closer to the bracket. I am currently mounting a Chigee on the DSX900. I am using the bracket that is mounted on the windshield. The holder for the Chigee is about 4cm wide, so the screen is very close to the holder. All ball joints multiply vibrations and are unnecessary. Once positioned, that is enough. It is very easy to set the angle with the clamp on a round rod. Put the screen in the middle, angle position and it is good.

Great bike tried to give ir a like but not working for some reason .

Thank-you for the video, I wonder if this procedure could be applied to a used bike with an unknown history, say for example a 10yr old bike with low miles, as a lot of the used bullets seem to be here in the UK.

These bikes worked great when the average man was 150 lbs. and the average woman was 100 lbs...😀

Right with you Mr, I have a Honda cb 400f 76 and a Suzuki gs 850 gn 79. Never part with them, do all me own work. Great video brother 💯👍.

I feel sorry for the younger generations now. The freedoms you speak of have been taken away and are for the rich only. Motorcycle insurance and training costs are astronomical for a 17 year old. All the fields I messed around on in my youth have been built on (got to have a second home….). The young are also under more surveillance than ever. Try making a mistake and you will have it plastered all over social media with serious repercussions. Be thankful you spent your youth in less restrictive times.

I've had a Ducati 350 and have a Royal Enfield 500.. there is a difference, but not really that big.. my first bike was a FS1E too.. 1976.. a long time ago 😂😂😂

Back in the mid 70's I had a mk3 450 Ducati. It was a great bike to ride. I remember it was very good on petrol. It had a valve lifter to help kick it over but the cable snapped so I just got the knack of starting it without. I have a 1961 BSA 250 that I have had for 50 years but it's not been on the road for about 20 odd years.

wow😍

Love those handlebars!Similar to the bars on my Harley.

I'm a returner after 40 years. I wish I'd mothballed my bikes when I became a dad, instead of selling them. Anyhow, I did get a new Classic350 in April to start a new stable, because it was a great deal and reliable. That means I can get a couple of older carbed bikes next, yet still have a rider as I tinker with them. Thankfully older bikes are getting cheaper because few of us have the nouse to fettle 'em. Howling winds and rain here in Cumbria, so it'll be some days before I can get out.

The top box does come off without stripping half the mount, unlock with the key and you have to slide the box backwards because there are 2 lugs fitted on the base of the box and 2 receivers that they lock into ,

It started first-kick...hard to believe it's British ! 😮

Good luck to the Chinese brands. The european manufacturers have been gouging customers for years. Thaiumph especially ,manufacturing bikes in a third world country but charging first world prices.

Me again.Q: the key fob right button is for hazard lights. What is the left one for?

You're so right about much of today's youngsters & how different things were for all of us, our older years. I was tinkering with cycles from a very early age, going to the town scrap yards & picking up cycles that needed work...which I did time after time. Then cycles & motorbikes...& been a mechanic most of my working life. It's been a very pleasurable & satisfying experience. All starting from those early days. Who knows were the future is going, but it's certainly going even more & more technology based, online based etc. For good or bad

Yes it's below freezing in many parts of the UK Paul. We've had very heavy thick snow these past 4 days & it's currently -4 🥶 Definitely not biking weather. I'd be tempted to come over to Spain for 3 months & find some cheap accommodation, if I can sort passports out for my two dogs.

Love it,

Thank you very much for your for all of your detailled reports. Ich recently did a test ride on the Voge and the BMW and the trottle was the only thing i did not like at the Voge. I have e scedule with Voge dealer toworrow and i guess i will order a 25 modell for spring next year! :-)

Excellent bike and a model I fancied some years ago, to sit alongside other Ducati models I owned, but prices then and now are beyond my reach. I thought they had a vinyl tool pouch on one side with the Ducati logo? Love the colour scheme. I agree with you and am very happy fine tuning any part of a machine that is not exactly how I would like to have it. Maybe its an age thing and younger riders just want to bolt on and go, or get the dealer to do it for them? I don't really know any younger riders to ask. Thanks for uploading, cheers Paul

Massive looking reach to the brake lever. Seen the glass on a Spanish 24 horas version.

The fact that so few according to your sources come back to the dealer for repair AND your own faultless bike for the last 6 month means a great deal to me. Reliability and comfort are my primary concerns with my next ADV bike. Looks like CFMOTO, VOGE and possibly KOVE are now on my radar. Thanks

beautiful bike. what handlebar is that?

Sorry mate ,,the rear topbox does slide of after unlocking , you do not need any tools to remove it,

Beautifull little bike

My first "true" motorcycle was very similar, a Ducati 250 Deluxe. In the early seventies. I upgraded the engine to the 24 hours version, some 30 HP. High compression, very hard to kickstart, but man, what an engine!. I did 300.000 km and had to rebore twice. Had moren´a hundred motocycles since, but none like this one. Or maybe I was younger...

I agree with you. I've upgraded from the Classic 500 too. I fell in love with SM650 the moment I sat on it and heard the engine. Smooth, refined, no vibrations. Coming from the 500 it felt like everything I wanted in my next bike. The chassis feels like it was built for the Super Metor. Which is why the Shotgun and Classic 650 look like a bit of a compromise. I was surprised that the Classic 650 seems like an adaptation of the Super Meteor 650. I am glad I bought it. This really does feel like the most unadulterated, uncompromised bike that RE are building. Coming to adventure bikes like the Himalayan 450 and even the Guerilla, I just can't get to like them even though everyone else seems to love adv bikes these days. I guess I'm somewhat of anold soul (at 36) that bikes have to appeal to my aesthetic sensibilities more. ADV bikes just look all mad maxxy, and half the people who buy them never venture off road. Roads are getting bad out here in India, so a lot of people pride themselves on buying an adv. Well, I'll have to ice my tail bone on this beauty a whole lot more but I won't exchange it for commuter on stilts.

The new interceptor bear is 216kg not 240kg. Still heavy for a scrambler.

I have an old CB and do portions of the Smokie Mtn 500 as a bit of a hand modified scrambler....but unless you've owned and maintained it from the go...at least under 5000 miles new...then you can't really rely on them for more than 50 miles from the house. I'm about the let the old girl go next year as she's 70k mi. I'm going to get a modern FI, disk brake bike...but still don't need more than 40hp so it'll be a light one. Triumph 400 Honda 500x MT03 (change the tires) Or a Himalayan

When they skip the kick starter lever...

I've watched all of your videos on the Voge DS900X (DSX900). I'm UK based and picked mine up 3 weeks ago, so your videos have been a big help. So far so good. With each ride I become more impressed with the bike. One question I do have is about the manual and a function that it states the bike has. The UK manual states it has Carbit Ride (BasicallyAndroid Auto/Apple Carplay) on page 29. After searching through the bike menu, I can't find any trace of the feature. I'm wondering if you or any of your followers has had any experience with this? The firmware is currently version 4.1 so I wasn't sure if the firmware update affected things.

Its better to lose 50% of a lower priced bike than 30g of an expensive bike. And why is one bothered about depreciation? Buy whatever you want, enjoy it till you do and sell it.

Lovely bike. Always wanted the Desmo 250 but couldnt afford one so got the K1 Honda Nicest old bike I owned was a G12 Matchless 650 she was a honey and cost me £50 in 69 Know exactly where you're coming from. Agree about the rear springs on Enfields im thinking about Hagons on mine. My 350 classic is imho about as close to a real retro as you can get. Would have paid more to keep a kick starter. Small bikes are on the rise it seems and techno laiden monsters that cost 15 grand are losing favour

ANY modern bike is going to depreciate like a meteorite. They were designed to be disposable. With all the TRASH technology on them, they are not repairable, within reason, and parts will be unavailable after a short time. Stick with something carbureted that can be kept gong forever.
