kove 800x review and test ride (in English)

[@bitterlifes]

Looking from the outside it really looks awesome, with very very good and agresiv geometry! But i hop this bike to be reliable for long adv trip, and to be available in Europe. Bravo Kove 👍

[@defylifeadventure]

Can still hear the KTM engine rattle, but the sounds good overall. Would love to lose 30kg off my 890 Adventure. One thing I don't get, is why is there no hazard light switch? As someone who has broken down on country roads by blind bends, hazard lights are important. Even the new KTM 890s have then now. Anyway, looking forward to it hitting the EU.

[@generaldistrust]

100% the engine is a 790 clone?

[@defylifeadventure]

@@generaldistrustand if the gearing is the same it's going to be crappy down low then just like the 790. :( The new 790 engine shares the same platform as the 890 with the heavier crank and three way split cases.

[@yrc4184]

yes same cons/pros @@generaldistrust

[@hizirkurtel3197]

Good company, manufacturing quality bikes, I ride RVM Jawa 500 ADV (Kove 500X) for a year by now and very happy with it reliable, comfortable, light weight, fun to ride

[@79hubu]

Was it the lower spec version? Exhaust pipes look very rusty as for 8k kilometers mileage. When accelerating on the movie you made like open the trottle and close it and again open it. Was it on purpose or there was not good response from the bike/engine?

[@timothybroga1704]

Too bad you couldn't really ride the bike. Is this the standard or the adventure or the pro

[@marcbrummel8566]

I really would like to buy it. Portugal and Italy already have a distributor. For germany they are looking for but i bet they wont find someone good like other brands from China. Someone knows the european price? Thank you

[@rock4cheese]

It is said to be around 9000€

[@michaelbmw1931]

I think its 12.000€ to expensive. Somebody said that in China they cost 6000-8000euro... I could buy it straight away for max 8000euro for full equipped motorcycle

[@marcbrummel8566]

@@michaelbmw1931 There are different versions. The basic version you could buy for around 9000 Euro in Europe.

[@Anonymouzee]

Ok... I want one... ?where can I buy it it in Portugal??? 🤔

[@defylifeadventure]

Supposed to be coming to the EU in September. There's going to be a reseller in Spain (Barcelona), I don't know about Portugal yet.

Where is the oil filter? i only see the water/oil interchanger, but not the oil filter...

[@Gud-y2s]

Completely pointless place to do a "test drive".

[@ruileal5574]

What quick shifter???..there isn't one 🤣

[@victorsturdivant4731]

I want one. I love what KOVE has done with both the 450 and now especially the 800. I currently ride an Africa (for 5 years) and it works well but is very heavy and ungainly when offroad. I've had very good experiences with Chinese bikes in the past and like them, and trust them. Never had a breakdown off-road or on. My kids (all eight) have crashed them but repairs were always inexpensive and easy to accomplish. God willing, I'll be going cross-country for 30-45 days in the near future. I'd like to do it on this 800 or the 450 rally.

[@generaldistrust]

what country u say that reoairs were so cheap?

[@victorsturdivant4731]

@@generaldistrust US. But the actual repair work was done by myself (except once) but the price of the parts were dirt cheap.

[@andreatelini2415]

Any feedback on wind protection?

[@onaddosama]

Hoping they bring this to Philippines.

[@pinecreek607]

There seems to be a delay between the indicated speed and actual acceleration!!🤔🤔

[@Dominik-hr7vt]

So fast... no need for mirrors... huh?

[@xavibta78]

Where is the airfilter?

[@daveinwla6360]

The wheel rims look like they run tubeless tires. What is the ignition timing for the twin?

[@stavrozinio]

285/435 I think is for all 790/890 engines

[@bananabro980]

hopefully these come to aus soon, had a kayo loved that bike but needed more power

[@arnoudagr2171]

Nice bike! Do you know if it will be available in Europe? Is the exhaust pipe made out of stainless steel?

[@chinesemotorcycles]

Yes. It will be available in Europe next year. At least that was the plan. And yes again. The exhaust is made of steel as well.

[@BabyNinjaVlog]

why the RPM acting weird, sound like clutch slip.

[@barryforever]

Where is this showroom and what is the phone no?

[@Chris-ui5ju]

Had a test ride, great bike. Thinking of selling my loud, hot and heavy MTS950 and getting one of these. And I miss Kunming !

[@OrsonChaos]

Some that I heard lately is the oil tank is only 17L, not as what they labeled 20L...

[@generaldistrust]

*fuel you meant?

[@RogerAlcon]

Noise

[@jefferygray946]

good review, is that the muffler mount or the foor peg damaged?

[@chinesemotorcycles]

Foot peg damaged
