@@xavibta78 hi, Zhang Xue was not the creator of the company, Kove existed long before he bought shares, he just became CEO and became famous after his Dakar success, he still owns 50% of Kove but he's not a good CEO, he is now focusing on his own thing called ZXCJ motorcycles, still following his dream, building the cheapest motorcycle in the world with the best quality, the thing is Kove has other share holders and they have a more goal oriented vision, he was too focused on Dakar.

its a dilemma tuareg or kove 800?
@Nelisjvr5 күн бұрын
@@eliasstergiou3051 I guess it all depends on preference...I tested the Tuareg as well, but the moment I sat on the 800x Pro I felt at home...and if you compare the bikes stock, the Kove is hands down the winner, better suspension, better torque and HP, around 50mm higher off the ground, it's just rider modes that's extra on the Aprilia, I personally hate too many modes and buttons for everything...the Kove have just enough added, TC for the road, and ABS... The rest is useless in my opinion...or for what I use it...I don't need cruise control, I want to be able to control my own speed, if you really want so many rider modes and heated seats and switchable TC with ride by wire...buy the Kove 800x touring version...it's got it all, at only 195kg. The Tuareg is a 660 at 205kg... My bike is exactly 184kg fully fueled with all the extras I have! Test it and you'll fall in love!

@@maxmustang2 hi Max! Yes it's definitely lighter! Much taller as well! If you're going to to ride 70% off road, it's the perfect motorcycle...it's super powerful, light enough to behave like a dirt bike and torque for days. If you want to do more 50/50 riding, I would recommend the Pro, it's much better set on road, better brakes of course, dual callipers and you won't feel unstable over 100km/h, the rally is too light and high in the front for road riding...even with a good stabilizer...the wind pushes it around a lot...the pro is perfect...even at 160-180km/h you won't feel unstable, and honestly...there is no place the rally can go where I cannot...if you want to do serious enduro..yes, but also not what a 800cc bike is for.
