EICMA 2024: Macbor 4K

[@lucke1022]

You killing it with your EICMA Reports. Even the less known brands, that nobody covers. Thank you.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

You’re welcome. Six to go.

[@MattTofield]

Loving the coverage of the lesser known brands. Making me realise there is a lot more choice out there.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks, though some of it comes down to what's available in each country and what the dealer support is like.

[@Rainer.M67]

The Eight Mile Scrambler looking cool, spoked wheels with single swing arm. Great job, Andre

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup, though I think that’s an older model.

[@johnclowes3502]

Another great bike Australia will never see🥵

[@PeakMotorcycles]

So don’t get them in the UK either, but we do get some of the QJMotor derived alternatives under other names.

[@johnclowes3502]

They have some very nice styling... clean lines and some great color combo's

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yes, they are definitely some of the better looking ‘translations’ of the source bikes.

[@nicolascarabournis8784]

Thanks for this new brand, didn’t know before…

[@PeakMotorcycles]

I think they are mostly in Spain. (We don't get them in the UK)

[@nicolascarabournis8784]

@@PeakMotorcycles Never mind I'm in France Andre ;-)

[@skaraborgcraft]

The clean/thin fairing lines on the 125-250 adventer types is better than most. If its not a 12hp restricted, could be a useful tool.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup, definitely one of the better looking 125 adventure bikes.

[@thesirralph]

Isn’t the Montana XR5 the same bike as Kove 525X (or 500 and 510X)? So who makes them after all?

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yes, I think it is.

[@MLeitao]

@@PeakMotorcycles yes it is for Portugal and Spain

[@bigjoe4020]

Never heard of Macbor and probably will never see one here in Oz, but still interesting to see whatsup.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

We don’t get them in the UK either.

[@pepemckenzie5696]

It is a Spanish brand that imports Chinese motorcycles, which are slightly modified. They are sold in Spain and Portugal and from 2025 also in France.

[@georgekrpan3181]

An amazing array of bikes from a company I've never heard of in the US. No doubt they're made in China which shows how brilliant the Chinese are. Message to the legacy makers - work harder, think better.

[@andrewf1326]

Made in Spain I believe...

[@georgekrpan3181]

@@andrewf1326 That would be great but it's highly unlikely.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

They are based in Barcelona, and while the bikes are made in China, they have certainly applied their own design to them, and done a pretty good job.

[@georgekrpan3181]

@@PeakMotorcycles Agreed! Cheers!

[@ogasi1798]

loving these lesser known brands - not sure what happened with the design between the 8mile 125 (which i love) and 500 though, the 500 looks terrible in comparison.... is it just paint?

[@PeakMotorcycles]

They may even be different manufacturers?

[@ogasi1798]

@PeakMotorcycles they're all on the macbor stand though and using the same model name ?

[@norm701]

the 2 500s are actually made by kove

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks

[@ACBros_06]

That 510 is QJ with different stickers

[@PeakMotorcycles]

I suspect they all might be QJ…

[@grazianobernardi9491]

cos e?stend rubato un buon vino❤

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Non sono sicuro di cosa significhi per quanto riguarda il vino...

[@Archiballd123]

Macbor is Kove

[@norm701]

only the 2 500s are made by them

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks

[@crnamrlja]

First time I hear of this brand. They obviously have no shame (visually) copying previous gen GS...

[@PeakMotorcycles]

There's a risk there though... a lot of people don't like the look of the previous gen GS. At least they've done it well!
