★ 2023 VOGE 350 AC REVIEW ★

[@simonchilli2088]

The 40hp on this bike is more realistic for larger roads than the 20hp of the smaller Royal Enfields. It depends on if you like the classic look or the modern look tho.

[@GeoffHalsey]

Could well be the bike I've been looking for. Lightweight, good handling, real world performance for all UK roads, reasonable economy and a fair price. Ideal really.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Geoff they are very good bikes for the money...they ride very well 😁 Best regards mark

[@ninadegaardhansen504]

So glad you are review theese Voge bikes. There is almost none in english. Have a 300 DS. Very happy with it but vaiting for the CU 525. That look fantastic. Hope to see you on one when it comes to the shop. Best regards Jan Tore Hansen

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Jan I'm doing the 525ac x very soon best wishes mark

[@vince6219]

Just taken a look at the CU525...Very nice 👍, that's a cool cruiser, Hope Mark reviews one soon. 😊

[@brettroman3218]

Nicely done Mark! I love that it’s a twin👍

[@ZoahPorre]

It reminds me of a couple different Hondas mashed together...not a bad thing to be said. The tail end of it is very stubby looking, not sure if Id like that, but it may grow on me. The screen I was a bit iffy on, but that may have been gopro being gopro.. when you got into the shade it was much nicer. All and all it seems nice, but sadly probably not here in the US! :(

[@johnDukemaster]

You really makes good reviews. Thank you! This machine looks so good. I went out the other day on my sons girlfriends 390 Duke. It was surprisingly fun in a "this little engine shouldn't be able" kind of fun! When I downsized to my 690 Duke, I thought I reached the lowest bar for what could be considered minimum sized motorbike. But now I'm not so sure! These smaller ones are so much more relaxed fun! I really don't know how to describe it! And this Voge looks like one of those high smile/mile bikes.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks John I've owned both the 690 and 390 duke ....I know exactly what you mean...the voge is fun like the KTM but not so aggressive and rides better at low speeds Best regards mark

[@BibtheBoulder]

I agree John. Mark doesn't do 'hype' or scream as he opens up a hyper-bike. Just common sense, calm informative reviews. I am only surprised he doesn't have double the subs.

[@johnDukemaster]

@@BibtheBoulder Me too.

[@simongilbert2704]

that bike seems amazing ;; at that price it out classes the new triumph 400 and hd 400 , and is around twice the power of the enfield 350 with less weight ,,;;; it is very rare a bike [or anything ] comes close to 100 percent but this is close ;;; we have to hope the spares and service back up are in place ;; also the rear mudguard issue about not enough coverage again , when your video first started and you said it's 40 bhp --- i immediately was thrown into hoping this would be a winner , - and after your review it seems good news ;; best review

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks Simon yes I think and hope this bike will do well Best regards mark

[@Jay_Speed]

I was waiting for a review from you on one of these, good one like always. Don't like the floating rear fender, but than I never like those.

[@elpobrouse2277]

I was also hoping for a test of this one.

[@martinehulme8743]

Nice little bike, I like the lights, I bet it's a great confidence builder.... great shape.. thanks Mark for another fab review 😁 x

[@markpulling12]

Glad you enjoyed it Martine x

[@Paul-67]

I really like that voge. Me thinks that it will give the new triumph a run for its money. Thanks for your, as always, good review.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Paul yes it was better than I expected the engine is a peach 🍑 Looking forward to hearing the price on the new triumphs Best regards mark

[@volt8684]

When I was young I have fond memories of my honda cb360 including pillion occasionally. Had 34 bhp smoking the nowadays RE’s . 40bhp more like it. Also think looks good in these colours

[@CosmikDebriis]

Beauty, as they say, lies in the eyes of the beholder but I'd say that's a very nice looking bike and, as you might expect, very good value for money. When I saw it in the flesh it did look very "small" but there again I was about to get on the Voge Rally which is anything but. Perhaps not a bike for taller riders? Can't help thinking the designers might have been watching too many reviews of the Husqvarna Vitpilen but IMHO it tops that for looks (and price of course). I wonder if it could compete with the Kawasaki Z400 for the sheer fun factor, but that comes in at nearly £1500 more, so maybe the Voge is a more "sensible" choice. Anyway. Thanks for the review.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks again Clive ... great bike ...yes it is as much fun as the z400 but much more comfortable I'd say cheers mark

[@DatOldeBiker]

Thank you Mark. Another comprehensive and to the point review. You can't fault these bikes can you? Such value for money and very competent if not excellent rideability. :>)

[@markpulling12]

Hi Peter many thanks 👍 Yes I was very impressed how this 350 rode ...a very strong contender in its class Best regards mark

[@shpritzer]

A 320 twin?? Love that.

[@jamesprice7470]

Great review mark on such a lovely bike i would not be disappointed if it was in my garage.

[@markpulling12]

You and me both! Thanks James

[@peter7624]

Nice little bike. China are making some great bikes these days and quality seems up there with the best of them. This one should take some business away from Enfield with the more refined twin cylinder engine, LED lights etc. What a time to be in the market for a mid-size bike, what a great choice. Great video as always Mark.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Peter I was very impressed with this voge 350 ...it rode very well Best wishes mark

[@norsehall309]

G'day Mark, with so many motorbike groups and companies competing in the bike market it's like the boom time of the 1960s so many options then the crash and only the strongest survived, time is a good test of reliability, this bike looks the part but it's like many now, great review, cheers mate, ride safe, Neil 🤠.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Neil yes we are spoilt for choice these days so many to choose from Cheers mark

[@1990-t1j]

Thanks for reminding me of this video. I remember seeing it now. Just watched it again. What a good-looking little bike. I like the yellow better. Just realised it's a twin. I prefer singles up to 600cc. Nick

[@MichaelJones-zx9kf]

Hi Mark, great review as always. Do you prefer the Voge to the Zontes GK 350 ?

[@markpulling12]

Hi Michael...both are great...but for me I just prefer the slightly smoother engine on the voge best wishes mark

[@jimhedley7459]

Hi mark ,It looks nice , any change you can test the Voge AC525 X mark it looks mint and at £ 5999 on the road !! 🏍🏍👍👍

[@markpulling12]

Hi Jim it's the next one on the list !! :) Cheers mark

[@andytownsend9163]

Looks a nice bike, well designed 👌 I like it. Cheers Mark

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks Andy ...it was better than expected 😁

[@palerider4015]

Great review as usual Mark. My question to you would be this….would you swap your Hunter 350 for one of these ? If not what makes the difference (apart from the fact the Hunter is a single of course) ?

[@markpulling12]

Hi no I wouldn't swap the hunter has a unique charm....but this voge is a fantastic bike ...good speed handling and comfortable best wishes mark

[@manosmanos4663]

​@markpulling12 You have so right about the charm of the RE. I am looking to buy a 3rd bike below 5k euro , ac350 is a possibility but the charm , the name ,the style of the hunder ac don't have. 99% I will trust you and also me I will go for the hunder. Keep the good work of reviewing bikes . Cheers from greece.

[@markpulling12]

@@manosmanos4663 many thanks for your comment...best wishes mark

[@williammuir638]

Very interesting. Voge are going to give established western manufacturers a run for their money. GOOD! This is what bike industry needs! A breath of fresh air! Keep it simple and basic! Good one Voge 🤗👍

[@roberta.6579]

Upon seeing this gorgeous TFT screen, I wonder how owners of the Trident and Street Triple R feel?

[@vince6219]

Nice review Mark. You get a lot of bike for the money here!, 40BHP which (as someone as already mentioned ) double the horses of a 350RE and a lot lighter AND this bike will get you out of trouble with it's extra power. My only worry is that the brand doesn't take off here in the UK, this will effect the residual value, parts availability and after sales care. What people don't realize is that most motorcycle engines are most probably made by Loncin China. But ""we" are adverse to change and brand snobbery or conservative attitudes to change prevent us from do the right thing. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. Also Mark can you review the Voge cu 525 Cruiser (if available here in the UK). Cheers 🙂

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Vince ....re residual.....it's horses for courses really...a new bmw 18 k sell 2 years later get back 15 k ...buy this at 4 k get back say 2.5 k after 2 years if you get my meaning Best wishes mark

[@daddystu7046]

Coming up against those pretty new little triumphs I guess. Hope it comes in cheaper.

[@rabfergy7155]

The new 350 cf moto looks similar but just a little better I think. Similar price point too. Think it will come down to dealership availability and after sales quality.

[@Jay_Speed]

Luckily for me here in France a dealer of Voge is only 27km away, Triumph, RE and the rest is 60km and more.

[@gjermundvaland8568]

Lovely bike and lovely review. 😊

[@markpulling12]

Glad you liked it! Best regards mark

[@1990-t1j]

It looks rather good quality. Not the performance of my 390 Duke, I'd suggest. Or has it? You'll know, Mark. I much prefer the Voge's dash. In fact, better-looking all round than the 390. Do Voge do a 500? And a quick check revelas they do a 500 AC. 1990 [Nick J]

[@markpulling12]

Hi Nik yes I should be doing the 500 in the next few weeks...it's very nearly as fast as the 390 duke Cheers mark

Nice job mark and the bike is nice and comfortable and smooth

Thanks Duane ...yes a great bike in this class 😊 best wishes

[@michellewilson8845]

Cannot stop rewatching your videos Mark, this bike and the 125 Voge are really growing on me, just thinking about the long term ownership in respect of servicing and parts backup. Dealers in my part of the world are thin on the ground; NW England. Any chance of the Z500 Kawasaki naked and CF moto 450 naked being tested?

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Michelle...I'll review the Kawasaki when Bournemouth Kawasaki gets one... And hopefully Poole Moto will get a cf450 at some point Best wishes mark

[@stevetaylor8698]

60mpg for such a small motor isn't really very good. I would expect it to be in the 80mpg range at least. My BMW r1200rt does 60mpg - yes, I am old and the motor gets an easy time with me.

[@markpulling12]

I'm only surmising as a lot of people thrash the .... out of these things...likes of MCN report 50 mpg out of small engines quite often BUT I'm sure you could easily get way more with normal riding Best wishes mark

[@ZoahPorre]

I noticed the fuel gauge seemed to go up and down while riding, does it have like current predictive range I wonder?

[@markpulling12]

Hi no it doesn't show any range Best regards mark

[@mikerider58]

Another Insect looking bike from the east, might be better than the new Triumph 400 and probably half the price 😅 Great little Chinese bike.

[@Wajang1]

Bike with Air Conditioning, very nice.

[@markpulling12]

It sure is!

[@fingerhorn4]

A good rival for Honda's CB300R. It has a bit more power than the Honda and to my eyes better looking. Great review Mark. Thank you.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks I preferred it to the honda ...the engine is very smooth on the voge best wishes mark

[@0Turbox]

I question that. Website of Voge shows 28 hp at 160 kg. The Honda is dry 25 kg lighter.

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Very neat looking bike

[@iandunipace]

IS THERE A OPTIAN FOR A CENTRE STAND . ALL BIKES SHOULD COME WITH ONE ALREADY FITTED. SUCH A RIP OFF. GREAT REVIEW MARK.

[@markpulling12]

Hi I'm sure this day and age you could retro fit one ...I don't think voge do one ... but some company probably does cheers mark

[@iandunipace]

@@markpulling12 SO BAD THEY DON'T FIT THEM ANYMORE. I ONLY BUY BIKES WITH THEM FITTED. . THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY MARK.👍

[@Ijusthopeitsquick]

Sometimes the great big catalytic converter hidden under some bikes makes it hard or impossible to accommodate a centre stand.

[@richardjohnson3463]

Nice review, cheers!

[@keithcruickshank5984]

Good review as usual, but why have they put Cordial tyres on it, crazy 😢 I’ve got these on my small capacity bike deadly in the wet, changing them asap

[@markpulling12]

Yes Keith ...not the best tyres in the wet ... cheers mark

[@markwoodman122]

Hey Mark, how would you say this compares to the Zontes GK 350? Or your 350 Hunter?

[@markpulling12]

Hi mark ...it compares very well indeed ..better suspension than the hunter ... obviously faster and more power but most people don't buy the hunter for speed ...it's an all round very good bike ...smooth , great handling and comfortable Best regards

[@markwoodman122]

@@markpulling12 yeah I'm not in the market for speed just something that is a good all rounder that can do a little motorway work when required. Did toy with the idea of a Zontes ZT125 G1 too but thought that may not do the motorway part very well (although not it's main use)

[@willyrackham2957]

We saw one last month ...lovely design ..Nice touches all over ..great little bike for the money ...a do it all bike .

[@54davemax]

Great review Mark. I'm wondering whether to change my G310R for this bike for the twin cylinders, less vibes. I don't think that you have tested the G310r? What think you?

[@markpulling12]

Hi ...I haven't tried the 310 BMW ...but this is very smooth and punchy...I wasn't expecting too much but I was very impressed how well this little bike rides Highly recommended it Best wishes mark

[@svaralen]

Nice little bike for beginners, the Chinese are better and better with still nice prices and equipements, like it ✌️ just the tank shape can be maybe a problem for taller people, I mean room for the legs!?

[@philipfreeman72]

Looks good to me .

[@PhilipKerry]

A bike with Aircon that's a novel idea 😁😁

[@markpulling12]

Definitely 😁...I think all manufacturers should adopt this feature 😂

[@carolhenstock8008]

Hi Mark nice review on this bike but is there a USB charger ? Didn't spot one love your reviews keep em coming ...Peter

[@markpulling12]

Hi Peter no I didn't see one either ...when I'm in Poole Moto next week I'll have a look over the bike again... sometimes they hide them in strange places :) Best wishes mark

[@skaraborgcraft]

Why the high level exhaust? Bring on a scrambler version with wire wheels. Certainly more pokey than your Hunter, but the Triumph 400X is probably going to be as cheap.

[@markpulling12]

Voge actually do a 350 AC and X model with wire wheels and low exhaust but we are just getting this model for now ...I think the triumph will be in the region of £5.5 k Best wishes mark

[@kirikanjau5065]

please review the husqvarna 401

[@dazznutts]

Hi mark you reviewed the zontes gk350 how does the voge 350 compare to the zontes

[@markpulling12]

Hi equal nice build quality...but I found the engine smoother and a bit more fun I'd say 95% zontes 97 % voge It's very close Best regards mark

Always wonder if you are referring to imperial gal for mpg ? Thanks

[@markpulling12]

Yes that's why I always say UK mpg Best regards mark

[@michellewilson8845]

It would be a lot better with a 'normal' rear light/number plate assembly and the exhaust is not good looking in my opinion. Your 350 RE Mark looks a lot better

hi mark ,the 400,s 350s are taking over lol,, was wondering how your getting on with the hunter 350 , i have a 650 ninja and thinking about a change to a the new triumph 400 or the hunter , the only thing stopping me is the bhp ,can i live with low bhp or can i change my mindset about power output on bikes and once you pull the trigger thats it.on the ninja it get from a to b as fast as i can , do you think lower hp means more fun

Hi Bill you can have alot of fun on small capacity bikes ...this one really impressed me how well it rides ... easily as nice as the hunter but with more power and better suspension But the hunter kind of has more character with its thump thump:) Best regards mark

[@cynic150]

Very nice. What worries me is that eventually, all I.C.E. engines will have to be banned because of climate change. If people could change to motorcycles from cars, that would be a good start. I don't know why you compare bikes to sewing machines. My sewing machine has lot of vibration!

[@outofafrica100]

Voge 350 or Hunter 350 ??

[@markpulling12]

Hunter 350 for me because of its character and thump thump single which is fantastic....but the voge is alot faster and handles better ...so for many people it would be the better choice Best regards mark

[@kirikanjau5065]

i like this

Reminds me of the Yamaha MT07. Sooner prefer the Royal Enfield Meteor single.

[@Dave-in-France]

Comments after Essais/Test ride : Front brake pretty-much non existent, back brake good; Taller than I remembered; VERY short gearing, leading to 60 kph at 6000 rpm; Vibey, like riding a 125cc; Good handling:cornering on-road; didn’t test off-road; Not for me.
