This is a good review brother.... the 450rr kove seems like a good catch indeed apart from the clutch cable thing, and interestingly it may come to my country soon Malaysia, might snatch it

[@eddywave3315]

Thank you for your comment of support) I think if you get it you’ll never be disappointed, it has so many cool features that other bikes from the same price range don’t. Cable was a nasty thing) but it wasn’t expensive to fix, it happened on the third launch btw) so next time I’ll be a bit suspicious of it) other than that it’s a no competition bike, wonder what the price in Malaysia will be) and I’m really excited to see what would you say once you get it 🤜🤛

[@ghiaikdiez1353]

What a great review my new follower brother, you hit the nail on the head aesthetically, the kove seems fantastic to me, personally I would go for that one 450 greetings from Peru 🇵🇪

[@eddywave3315]

[@evanmcknight2566]

Cool looking bike. Nice suspension spec. The ZX4RR should have come with something more like this as well as the aluminum frame.

[@eddywave3315]

On paper Kove is better in almost every aspect, and people here respect 450rr more then other foreign and local bikes as far as I see( probably coz it’s a relatively small brand which tries to do its best) On the other hand I still like Kawasaki more, experience is something money and even desire for cool features can’t buy, but taking the difference in price it’s not fair to complain or compare these two. Kawasaki is 30 kg heavier but feels as light, but again I’m just an average rider, perhaps once you push them to the limit, the difference in frames and suspension will be more noticeable. But I loved this new 400cc four cylinder format a lot!

[@evanmcknight2566]

I’m sure the Kawasaki is the better bike overall. Over priced perhaps but I’m sure it’s much more refined. Have you had a chance to ride the QJ motors GS 550? I think it would be in a similar price bracket to the Kove 450 RR.

[@eddywave3315]

@@evanmcknight2566 I haven’t ridden 550, the local QJmotor dealership has all the bikes, and you can try them out and record a video if you want, the only catch is that you can ride on the tiny parking lot nearby) I tried once and it’s almost as useless for understanding the bike as to look at it from the side) it’s getting pretty cold in Qingdao, so probably I’ll check it out in a few months. But in a few days I’ll still go to QJmotor to check the new SRK900 or whatever they call it) hope I can record at least something useful 😅

[@evanmcknight2566]

Cool, the dealership in Shanghai is also cool about giving test rides. So I will try them before I decide. I was sold on the QJ GSR 800, but I’m looking for a bike to mainly ride in the city and at speeds under 150km/hr so I wonder if the GS 550 is a more appropriate choice. Looking forward to your future reviews. I enjoy them a lot.

[@evanmcknight2566]

Not that I plan on riding 150km inside the city, but generally at more sensible speeds on public roads. I do wish the Kawasaki ZX4R was a bit more reasonably priced since I think it would fit my needs very well. The QJ GS550 might also do the same or better for half the price. The Kove 450RR is also an interesting offering.

[@xxneggalee2785]

Idc which is faster, the Kawasaki has nothing on this Beauty 😻

[@eddywave3315]

I think Kove is faster if you’re a good racer, but Kawa is still my choice if not for money 😂

[@Blueston907]

Well for me it's not bad if it's not faster or powerful than kawasaki, but the inline four for a much cheaper bike vs branded 400s, it's really good.

[@eddywave3315]

Actually it is faster!!! But not with me riding 😂😂😂 you’re right, given the price in China Kove is the way to go!!! I enjoyed it a ton 🤜🤛 Thank you for sharing

[@spotthedogg]

If you’re using the launch control you should not slip the clutch like that, in fact that deletes the advantage. Bike looks great and thanks for the comparison

[@lovingmylifeasIage6741]

Good comparison. I don't think we get the kove here in the U.S. What was the cost difference? I ride the ZX4RR and just love it. I have no problem with the weight. It is very stable on the interstate Hwy here at around 80 mpg. The front end doesn't seem to get very light although, the wings would be a good idea up around 130 mpg. I had a Ninja 600 in the 80s and the front end got a little light at that speed. I haven't had the 4RR up to that speed and probably never will. I'm too old for that now. I just enjoy doing curvy roads now.

[@eddywave3315]

Thank you 🤜🤛 The price difference is huge) ZX4RR is 12000$ here and Kove 450rr is 5800$ so in China the choice for most people is obvious, but I can still see the case for buying ZX4RR over Kove) personally I think Kawasaki is a better and more reliable bike, it’s extremely addictive) and the front end of the bike is greatly balanced, as you mentioned the weight isn’t an issue with Kawasaki, one can argue that it could be an advantage over super lightweight Kove, it was awesome to ride it in twisties, and I love the amount of power it has. Kove is a great machine too, I love ABS modes, but it’s a bit rough around the edges, still nice to see how competitive they are, and it’s great for people like us, coz they definitely push the competition, unfortunately I don’t think it will be available any time soon in the US but I still hope it can be sold there one day and riders can check it out!

Noob question.. is ot necessary to utilize all gears example running at 70kph on 3rd gear vs using 4th gear is it really necessary to use the right gear on extended travel at high speed?

[@eddywave3315]

It’s not necessary, but of you are in low rpm your bike might not be in the optimal power to overtake a car for example, and if it’s too high, you’ll just limit the gear up, and you need to up shift. It depends on a bike when to change gears, on z400 I keep it high 6-8k rpm this way I feel the power, on ktm390 you can keep it low, 2-4k is enough coz it has great bottom end torque

[@fredmeres1690]

Make sense.. thanks

Question: Is it really necessary to press on the clutch lever as well at the time when you press the break? Can anyone share your thoughts on breaking with me and using clutch on down shifting and gradually decreasing speed

[@eddywave3315]

Actually it must be better for the performance if you hit the brakes first, and then press clutch, but I’ve developed the habit of using them almost simultaneously

[@fredmeres1690]

[@animaniactv1385]

KOVE is lighter and cheaper for a reason

[@eddywave3315]

Well, Kove tries to make their bikes lighter than the other manufacturers , this is their feature here. And the price must not exceed the competition! This is my personal opinion, what do you think?

[@SelectaZero]

@@eddywave3315 yes seems that was the focus on the 450 Rally and 800x as well. Interesting approach! On the other hand you've got QJ Motors which has been producing some of the heavier than average bikes within their respective categories... For instance, if you are shorter and struggle to place both feet flat on the ground on a slightly taller bike than having it at a lighter weight is much more confidence inspiring (800x vs competitors), not to mention performance.

[@DarkPie101]

the throttle on and off is a problem where it's jerky. anyone in CN fixed it by flashing/tuning their ECUs?

how is the braking on the 450rr? has anyone in china done a brake upgrade?

[@eddywave3315]

Brakes aren’t bad, ABS is a bit more intrusive than I like, but you can turn it off. I would say the more I rode the better brakes felt, but in comparison with ZX4rr brakes loose in my opinion. I heard you can preorder Brembo calipers, but I didn’t come across this option. Overall I think brakes are decent, but there is a room for improvement
