I've had my Voge for just over a year now and have just under 6,000 miles on it. As my IAM biking neighbour says after trying it, "What is there not to like?!" I've solved the screen "problem" with an aftermarket Kappa product from Italy. Earlier this month I took it for a trip round North Spain and Portugal clocking up about 2,000 miles. And, as one of those first 30 sold here, I got the free luggage - which has proved to be pretty good. I bought a pair of Kriega KS40 travel bags to pop in the panniers and that worked well too. As Exeter Rider says, the build quality is very, very good and it is really a joy to ride. Oh, and it will appeal to oldies too who want to downsize to something more physically manageable - at 76 it's done that for me. Try not to pre-judge its Chinese origins - when I started riding 60 years ago people did that with Japanese bikes, and they were wrong too. Give it a go and have fun!

Great review 👌 Just got mine today after watching your review...rode 100 miles home from the dealer....what an impressive bike this is...the dealer had last years model just one in stock, £4999 with the luggage kit, what a bargain...descent tech with bluetooth ABS & Tyre pressure monitor for all that money, plenty of power .do feel some vibrations around 70 mph , of course can't expect the same refinement as the Honda's or Japanese brands...and it sounds very good too. Much better sounding than the CB500X

@exeterrider 3 жыл бұрын
Good question, I think not and the market will just change and adapt. If anything there will just be upgraded bikes from others to get ahead of the game again is my guess. It all pends on VOGE becoming a strong brand and a brand that will be here 1,2 ,3 4,5 years down the line. That is the key. The Bennelli 502 is huge in Europe because it really is a good bike but over here it has taken time to get traction. Shame when the bike is good but it's a uphill struggle in the UK due to how they used to be.

Is it buzzy in the footpegs or the hands? How does the fuel economy compare with the CB500X? The wheel bearings on the CB500X are over the counter no preprietery and cheap. Are these also?The actual on road weight would have been nice to have as well.
@exeterrider
@exeterrider 3 жыл бұрын
Yes understandable, the weight is 188kg which I somehow forgot to put in. Chinese parts online sell the bearings for about £20 so much cheaper than Honda generally speaking . I believe they have a 2 day delivery but do bear in mind that ALL manufactures are struggling to get parts at the moment. But they are aiming to fully stock all parts in time. Fuel economy seemed to be roughly the same as the 500x. Checkout this parts link here www.chinesemotorcyclepartsonline.co.uk/search.php?manufacturer=Voge&model=LX500-J-E5&name=500DS+Euro+5&year=All+Years&pagesize=15&pageno=1

Looks good goes' well and it competitively priced what's not to like it would be great to see an 800 come out in the same style more power to the Chinese for taking it to the extortionately priced other makes . : )

Yes they fill the gaps where most have missed, and you don't need to add things like centre stands and rear racks etc. Thanks for watching Malcom

I have just discovered these bikes today on you tube and they look very interesting. The thing that would worry me is how I would be looked after if I bought one. My nearest dealer for voge is ten miles away which is no problem, but I would always wonder how long the dealer would hold the franchise for. He had the Benelli Franchise for a while but no longer does. This happened with the car that I bought locally where the franchise was taken away so that now the nearest franchised dealer is thirty miles away. The Suzuki motorcycle franchise has been in my village since about 1976, so I'll feel a lot more assured for buying locally a brand that has been here for 46 years.

Yes I know exactly what you mean, I would feel the same. One thing I can tell you is that the people I know at VOGE are very forward thinking and Jane big plans for dealership network. I think anything is a shout in the dark a bit these days. Let me know what happens, fill review coming soon 👍

You have become completely infatuated with this bike and have been since Darth Vader left it at your door! Which of your present bikes are you going to sell so you can buy one of these wonder-bikes? The Honda, the BMW? And when did pretty on the outside tell anything about the internal engineering. Lipstick on a pig is still a pig. The first time you break a 50P value internal part and can't replace it from anywhere on the planet will be a change of mind.

Have to agree, although looks like a copy of the Honda engine, will pass on this one, as not impressed with the last thing we imported from China.

I like it to ride, and so do the 3 other very experienced skeptical riders who rode it. Nothing more I can say on that. CPO are getting some good stock in of spare parts. They know what they need to do and its happening.. I hope it works out for them. It is a good bike to ride. I hope they can make it work. I dont understand the darth vader bit but OK. And yes internal engineering I can only feel through gear changes and fuelling, general feel and look. So far all that checked out very well.

I have been asked by many about parts for the VOGE 500DS , which also was one of my concerns while researching. Please understand that the link I am giving you does have stock of many of the parts but EVERY manufacturer is struggling with shipping at the moment. Bear in mind that the VOGE 500DS has only just launched, but they do have stock of a lot of the items and aim to get a container over the Brexit waters to get more stock through as soon as they can. Having said that they still seem to have some stock parts in already .
