Ride Review of Voge 900 DSX - THIS IS JACK!

[@neilrd350]

Love that people are starting to send you products and ask you to test bikes! All goes to prove your channel is great. Well done both 👌👌👌👌👌

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks so much, We are so pleased to be given the chance to do these things and that people value our opinion in this way

[@BlackThor15]

When you start being invited to test bikes and other products, it only means one thing: your channel has been duly noticed! Well done Rich & Ewa, well deserved! 👍👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks so much, we feel honoured to be part of the Voge Press launch and really enjoyed doing it

[@eddiethompson2798]

Brilliant that people are inviting you to report on their product. I've been following quite a few people on social media for years and I can't understand why you two haven't got hundreds of thousands of followers. Your editing and the banter between the two of you is spot on. Long may you continue to produce these great episodes 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks so much, the Channel is growing at a steady rate, We hope we will at least break even at some point in the future! We do love the experience of what we are doing and as long as we are having a good time and are able to we will continue

Tail gaters in Poland are an ever present danger. I have lived here since the 1995 and it has always been an issue. Daily, I see drivers just a few meters behind trucks, right up behind other cars, and almost stuffed up the pipes of motorbikes and scooters on every type of road. Thank you for your videos on this bike, your channel and several others including MotechRevolution? were ones I watched when I was ummin and ahhing over to buy a new or second bike and which one specifially. I pick my blue Voge 900 up on Wednesday this week and I thank you for your considerable help in my decision making process.

[@ontheroadadventure]

You can find our tour videos in Poland on the Channel home page. Theres lots of examples there. I think you made a good choice on the Voge, its great value for money

[@millinutz]

What a fantastic review in beautiful countyside from the both of you. I love the fact, we have the views from the female and male point of view all in one video. This has made me feel i'm missing somthing if I don't get to the next Voge dealer soooon. Thx 4 doin a competent job with this very informative video, I can see a couple of Af'twins being put out to pasture soon!!.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks so much, Theres so many reviews out there reeling off marketing material... We just want to show you bikes from our real world perspective and perspective... Voge have done a great job on this one and for only 9k

​@@ontheroadadventure now if only someone did one with shaft drive too...🤞🤞 I'd be right in there.

[@bikerbuddy3166]

Glad you got to meet my mate helmet head as for the bike it looks well developed for the money 👌the Chinese are now doing what the Japanese did in the late sixties 😎👌❤️

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yes, things are changing... The Big brands have become complacent

[@luckyphil6486]

I take my hat off to Eva as being only riding for 2 years but had the guts to travel all over Europe . I’ve been quite a few times and it can be daunting for some people . Well done the pair of you .

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks so much, we are lucky that we always have each other 😊

[@markleadbitter6494]

Cracking equipment RST , some of the best kit out there at sensible prices!

[@ontheroadadventure]

The Heated Gloves in Winter are just amazing!!

[@teneretraveller8980]

I have a local dealer. The bike looks very well put together and is definitely well equipped if you like tech. For me it's the thought about what the rider needs that impresses. If you want hard cases they are fitted, abd they are narrow so filtering isn't an issue. Heated grips and seat. Essential in the UK. Usb port. Tubeless spokes. Cruise control. Etc etc. Like Ewa said, just buy it and off you go. I like smaller, but this should sell well. It's a great machine, irrespective of where it's made. Ride safe 👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Couldnt agree more, at half the price of a fully loaded new AT it would be hard not to buy this over the Honda...

[@collevelo49er]

As I may have mentioned before, I am not a motor biker but I do a lot of cycling 🚴‍♀️ ! Watching your channel always leaves me with a ‘feel good factor’ due in no small measure to your friendly personalities and presentational style. Interestingly I always ride with a Garmin Varia fitted to my bike as this is a rear-facing radar and red light unit that alerts me to the approach of traffic from behind. Relevant information appears on the screen of my GPS device under my nose! I’m sure other brands are available but I consider the Garmin Varia to be the second most important safety device for cyclists after wearing a proper cycling helmet! Cheers and I wish you well in the future! 😊

[@ontheroadadventure]

Oh ok that’s interesting so it’s not a new idea, we hadn’t come across this before but we think it’s brilliant

[@stephenrichards4962]

I have to say I have just watched your video and I’m impressed with the bike and how you both show how good it is. I feel you say it how it is and today that’s nice. It dose make you think if you can get all that bike for that price why is BMW charging you 10k more for less of a bike. F900 gs is about 15k then the add ons and box’s. Makes you think. Love the channel be safe cheers

[@ontheroadadventure]

These guys are bringing something game changing to the table, if Reliability is there over the long term how much more time have the Main players got to be the market leaders?

[@DaveDytor-z4w]

Love the look of the bike! Excellent value for money! And I must admit more equipment than you could possibly want 👍🏼 The only thing I would add, is a bash plate for the exhaust. Thanks Rich & Ewa for such a detailed vid on this bike 😉

[@ontheroadadventure]

Cheers Dave....

[@geofftoscano6804]

Oh boy, what a bike for the money. I can compare it directly with a BMWGS 1300 that I rode just last week on a test ride. Quite frankly, it was almost identical to look at, apart from the name badges. The BMW had gold wheels with spokes and tubeless tires. The luggage looked very similar. It had a very similar, if not identical, blindspot warning system. It did have also a lot of gizmos that were not on the Voge, such as a suspension lowering system which I’m not sure exists on any other bike. There are lots of refinements as well, but the bike I rode came in at around £25,000! As for reliability I’m now much more relaxed about Chinese products (and most of our phones are made in China). My existing BMW RT1250 has had a failed exhaust flap, failed front wheel bearings, issues with electric central locking, failed TPMS sensors, a GPS system that keeps crashing, and is subject to driveshaft replacement every 36000 miles (guaranteed by BMW for the life of the bike!). Need I say more?

[@ontheroadadventure]

and with the BMW components now being made by Loncin, the same chinese factory as the Voge.... Wheres your incentive to spend 15k more for the same product?

[@geofftoscano6804]

@@ontheroadadventure And….insurance on GS lowest I could find was £1500! Plus valued my 3 year old at just £9500, as against £22k that I paid. I’m staying put for now but might have a look at the Voge as a possible replacement for my Tracer 900GT+

[@ontheroadadventure]

WOW! So if you had bought the Voge at 9k and threw it in the bin after 3 years youd be better off than the depreciation on your BMW! Bet you wont do that again

[@rottieman347]

Fab revue guys. A lot of bike for the money. It will be interesting to know what the dealership network is like both UK and in Europe.

[@ontheroadadventure]

I forget the numbers now but there are many many dealers in the uk All headed up by Motogb the biggest motorcycle network in Europe i believe.

[@andrewbye8793]

Brilliant vid ...Keep them coming ...I like your down to earth reviews ...

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks Andrew youll get no BS from us!

[@johnflano6973]

You guys are awesome ✨ 🙏 Excellent review. I like the two of you together dynamic. Very nice. Well.... sounds like the only thing that is missing is a nice maintenence free single sided shaft drive and the kitchen sink 😅 I prefer shaft drives. The price point is phenomenal for what you get here. I guess time will tell regarding reliability and dealer support. They sure look great. Did you spend any time two up to see how the pillion likes it. Love those scorpions 😁🌴✨🙏 Greetings from Beautiful Gorgeous Bangkok Thailand 🇹🇭 🌺 🌴 🌴 🙏😊

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks so much. Do you ride in Bangkok? We have considered coming to Thaliand, riding in the cities looks mental though! If we got off the plane in Bangkok where would you recommend we went to hire cheap bikes? I guess scooters are best like the locals?

[@cdnrider6200]

Not available in Canada .Value for money for sure. Its reliability and longevity that counts long term . Parts availability? another great video guys!

[@ontheroadadventure]

Dealerships assure us that parts are here and available through the dealer network.... Keep an eye on the channel and we will do our best to find the reality of this...

We will definitely do more in the uk soon if it stops raining for long enough to get outside!

[@kevinmorris265]

Great Video Guys!, Them bikes I have to say looks absolutely fantastic value for money!, As with a lot of things these days you pay for a premium badge!, But another brand is made by the same manufacturer!, Just packaged differently!, Even down to cornflakes!!.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@AndyHodder-tm1fc]

Great ride and review. There's certainly a lot to think about when my Tracer 900 needs to go. I can't believe the kit you get for £9k ! My Tracer cost more than that 5 years ago and its not even the 900 GT. Great video work and presentation too. Cheers Andy & Lyn.

[@ontheroadadventure]

They are making it so difficult for people to continue to look the other way from the Chinese brands with bikes like this

[@AndyHodder-tm1fc]

Definitely a lot of bike for the money and as you both said ready to ride

[@ontheroadadventure]

We love that... No Extras needed, No Mechanical knowledge needed to fit crash bars and luggage racks etc yourself before you can use it as intended... Once you buy this bike you are ready to roll... No more expense needed

[@vaughan350x3]

Great vid, as usual! Fair review really. With anything Chinese the most important test is the test of time. Nothing quite like getting all ur kit on, heading to the garage and knowing ur Honda is going to start 😊🇯🇵👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Well you say that but we have had our fair share of issues with the Hondas, Ewas was leaking oil in year one, has had the TFT Fail, and the switch gear often doesnt work if its been raining. My bike has the same oil leak from the stator now.... Makes you wonder if they are all a gamble

[@vaughan350x3]

Yeah, wonder if things are going downhill. My lads wee CRF is built in China under licence from Honda so I wonder if some of their other stuff is going the same way.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Interesting, I believe some Hondas are built in Thailand too?

[@GreyBiker99]

Great review, thanks guys. The Voge stand was certainly getting a lot of attention at the ABR earlier this year. It will be interesting to see how the reliability pans out in a year or two, but that is a hell of a lot of bike for £9k.

[@ontheroadadventure]

These have been in Europe for some time now so you can find long term owner reviews in KZbin too

[@dannyhampshire2825]

Lot of bike for the money and that you was flat footed ticks a lot of the boxes and the both of you did a great review

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks Danny, We think allot of these bikes, We the people need good bikes at realistic prices...

[@irideforlife]

Good video and i like them a lot! Ewa, i agree about the black one. Looks lovely with the gold wheels. Rich, agree with you about the radar thing.

[@ontheroadadventure]

A big leap forward i think these bikes are, innovation and brand competition is great for us as the consumer

[@quickjan]

Excellent production from the two of you - congrats! Very complete as well. I looked at it because I have one of this (Blue) since one month. I passed 1000km revision already and most of minor defect were fixed (TPMS for example). Quickshifter stopped working after about 600km and the guys from service had to send inquiry to Voge España. But I'm not worried at all since the bike has 5 years guarantee and I don't use quickshifter that much. I can affirm that it is a very good bike and can't find anything similar for the same price. I have an Indian Challenger in the garage and this one is a completely different animal and serves for different purposes. I commute daily to work with it thanks to its light weight and handling.

[@ontheroadadventure]

So your finding parts availability is good and the after service from the Voge dealer is good?

[@quickjan]

@@ontheroadadventure service is good enough and we shall see how quickly they will solve the issue with quickshifter. I can ride the bike, while waiting. What was the software version during your test? I have 4.2 and asked for an upgrade

[@ontheroadadventure]

Ive no idea about the software, i would assume its the latest available when buying new. Do let us know here how that gets resolved with your quickshifter and how long it takes them

[@paulmorris3022]

What an absolute bargain. Well done Rich & Eva for a good review. The added features are just brilliant. Voge and CF Moto are going to make a big impact in the coming years, especially with everything so expensive these days. i would certainly consider having one, although i do love my Tiger 1200 GT PRO but it is a heavy bike and i am not getting any younger. Food for thought

[@ontheroadadventure]

I couldnt agree more, the Brand leaders right now have Big competition, How do they compete when these brands are able to bring this to the table at 9k?

[@Merthyr-Dave]

I love that bike, and you both did a great review on it,thank you.

[@ontheroadadventure]

The Bike is Fantastic value for money, we just report on what we see.... This is going to sell

Well Well Well I can't believe you was in my part of the world,we head towards Preston most Saturdays turning right just after Houghton Tower,Nice to know you liked riding over Belmont and surrounding area. I always ride with my wife Donna as pillion but i'm sure it could cope well two up.The bikes look nice and appear to be a bargain at that price and fulll of usefull feautures.

Hi John yes it’s a stunning area to ride, get yourself on a test ride on the Voge, you will be impressed

[@jenk.4906]

Oh… that is a nice bike, thanks for the honest thorough reviews , unfortunately it’s not available in the USA.. otherwise I would most definitely be looking at one. Thanks .. ❣️❣️❣️

Its only just come to the uk but has been in Europe for sometime now, im sure it will get to the USA at some point too

[@grumpycarbloke293]

Great review ! Hopefully the first of many,loving the tailgate device “when they are in ur top box” 😂 did you tell them ur comments on the self cancelling indicators ? Something they can surly change. How cool would that be a company that listens to customers 😂 getting parts abroad would be a concern and I think there is still a stigma on Chinese bikes even tho ktm and others are just Chinese with a different badge😮

[@ontheroadadventure]

Getting parts in Europe would be even easier than here in the uk which is no problem. These bikes have been in Europe for some time now, you can find longer term owner reviews online from people in Spain etc

[@bankruptpensioner]

Brilliant bike. Can't wait for an invite to ride one 😆

[@ontheroadadventure]

You can take them for test rides now from your local dealer, go see what you think 👍

[@andyscooter5753]

So when do you swap the Africa twins then?. As comfort sounded as if it was better. And they do look awesome,I have to agree with Ewa, the black and gold looks the best.

[@ontheroadadventure]

I’ve always been a fan of Black bikes too, usually gloss black is my favourite

[@motechRevolution]

You forgot to mention Loncin have made all BMWs parallel twin engines for the last 20 years after Rotax stopped producing. The VOGE 900 has the same engine as the BMW and the same rear chassis as the F850GS

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yep, they have been building for the main brands for years

Great to meet you both. 👍. G.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks Gilly, and you. 👍

[@billwaterhouse5894]

Another fun video guys, thank you. I must say, very hard to argue about the bang for your buck…wow.

[@ontheroadadventure]

The bikes really are not bad either, you can find parts on the bike that are either premium like the Brembo or exactly the same as BMW for example, and when I say the same I don’t mean a copy of…. They are the very same made in the same factory

[@billwaterhouse5894]

I hear the engine is the exact same as the BMW 900 (a bit more hp in the bimmer version). Impressive for the price.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yes same engine, slighlty different tune

[@kevinh8338]

Good job guys! Lot of features and value for the money. A little on the heavy side, but fine for touring. Loncin has been making engines for BMW for years, should be mechanically fine, time will tell on the electronics. Whether good or bad - Chinese are coming (CFMoto, Voge, Kove).

[@ontheroadadventure]

I suspect the Chinese brands know they have to prove themselves if they want a market share… Can they do it? We are all about to find out

[@markfranks1329]

​@ontheroadadventure The Japanese were in exactly the same position 60 years' ago, receiving the same ridicule these bikes are now getting from certain quarters of the biking community. I think they'll eventually make their mark as the Japanese did. They've improved tremendously over the last 25 years or so.

[@ontheroadadventure]

You could well be right

[@allanmason7544]

nice review both and a nice looking bike

[@ontheroadadventure]

It really is... We want to know more about this bike, i feel like we have scratched the surface on these voges and they deserve more investigation...

[@russthebus476]

Loved watching your tour!! Now the question is would you consider the voge as an alternative to the the Africa twin? It certainly looks good and is specced very well but could you swap the Honda for it??

[@ontheroadadventure]

Now we have our twins and are attached to them I don’t know if I’d swap them. However if I had no bike and was choosing which to buy no question I’d buy the Voge and save the rest of the money from a new twin to spend on travels

[@grahamsgoodies7531]

Looks a nice bike, great review and would wait a year or so before buying to see how the brand performs over time. Think it might be me but never buy a new model, always wait until they iron out any problems. If any, hopefully it performs well and sure you will see a few on the road soon. Hopefully they are at the bike show this year so can have a good look. 😊

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yeah they will be at the NEC for sure, they were at the ABR etc this year too, I think they are so keen to prove themselves that they are doing all they can to make sure parts are there along with the after service, i reckon they know its what will make or break the brand

[@maxturner3604]

Only one word in your whole video put me off "Chinese", I must admit though for the tech and the money it's phenomenal, good to see you both out again.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks Max, Yes they know how to put a offer on the table that people will find hard to refuse...

[@livesgas]

It's a BMW F800GS in disguise. Not a clone, but built in the same factory, same engine etc.

[@ridgebackrhodesian]

Love you two and your channel, but I don't support anything Chinese (almost impossible nowadays I know) and especially a 'back engineered copy' of another designers bike. It's just wrong to me.

[@ontheroadadventure]

This is true...

[@phillipcollingwood8072]

Great review on the bikes Have to see if they let ewa have one for your adventures away and a true test ride doing the job it’s made for and you could have it all over you channel so would be good for them to show the bike in really life Also show the viewers the good bad and ugly about the bike servicing and liability

[@johnnyquango]

I can't believe it, you have just been to where I live haha, I wish I had known I would have popped over to say hello. I am so pleased watching your video (we watch them all, its our go to channel) I think the Chinese are giving it large and showing other motorcycle manufactures that you don't need to charge 20 grand plus to have a decent bike. The CF MOTO looks great too. Thanks for saying you like the area 👍👍👌👌

Bike seems amazing for the money. I have two reservations, dealer network for parts and servicing. Part ex values on the brand. They are bad enough on high end brands.

[@ontheroadadventure]

I would say that I wouldnt be worried about the Part ex value, simply because the depreciation on something like a BMW from new is so rapid and massive that it will almost pay for this bike over a few years

[@davemartin4456]

Hi both of you , great review, so the question is, if you were going on an adventure trip, would you take the Voge or Twin? I have a cb500x at the moment and am looking at a twin like yours ( tubeless tyres though) but this bike has my attention now. Keep up the great work both of you stay safe. Oh and if your every in the Peterborough region, I'd love to show you what we have on offer round here

[@ontheroadadventure]

Tubeless is a strong advantage for road riding for sure... We would have no problem taking the voges for a tour, ive no reason to think it would be any less reliable than any other modern bike. Perhaps Voge will give us the chance to do just that.... That would show confidence in the product wouldnt it

[@brisprott2451]

I have the 300 Rally and it is a brilliant bike. Only runs on E5 premium fuel though. Not sure on this one. I feel the Chinese brands have upped their game with the knowledge gained from producing parts and bikes for the established manufacturers. Trade in values on BMW are atrocious at the moment so that not an issue when in comparison to a £9k bike. Would love to know what its like two up and also if there is a satnav bar that will fit it. Im sure Aliexpress will have one soon. Great Review

[@ontheroadadventure]

You also have the depreciation of New motorcycles to consider, much worse on a 25K bike over 5 years than one that only costs 9k in the first place...

Hi Guys, you were in my stomping ground (Londoner, up North). Amazing and unusual weather. Seems like a copy of my BMW 850 GS, but for £6k less, but with more equipment. I'm presuming it has sat-nav on the TFT screen, via an App? Love the close proximately radar, all bikes/cars should have this feature. May take a test ride. Thanks for the Vid!

[@ontheroadadventure]

Cheers Simon, yeah we would recommend jumping on one you’ll be amazed at how good it is. I didn’t play with the app, you’ll have to let us know!

[@momo-go4pl]

Apart from the bike being quite new to the market it would be interesting to see how it will perform in the long run

[@ontheroadadventure]

We are expecting to see allot of these on the roads, its very hard to ignore at this price and with all the extra tech fitted.... Which would you buy given the choice?

[@colinbarber9324]

Hi, can’t fault what you say, I had a look at one today, but I found it the same as the African twin. A bit too top heavy for me, but I am a coffin dodger ! I looked at the CF Moto equivalent, another Chinese import, reports now on twitchy throttles, questionable oil feed to cam shafts and now on the forums TFT problems. Time will tell on this bike, it does look a bargain .

I honestly believe these Chinese bikes are going to begin to dominate the Market as people become more money aware and pennies become shorter... Why pay 10k more for a machine that will do just the same as a voge or Benelli?

Couple of questions. Premium or regular gas? What was the fuel economy like on your test ride? Is the luggage included in the dry weight of the bike?

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yes Luggage is all standard and included on the bike and stats. Good old regular gas... I didnt check the fuel economy as we were not being kind with throttles on the launch event!

[@luckyphil6486]

Think you can buy a module for other bikes that flashes irratically when someone approaches the rear too fast. Saying that I may have just dreamt it lol

[@volt8684]

The Japanese need to look over their shoulder. When you say Africa twin was 18k with luggage. My v strom 650 in 2022 was £7k. On the road not much in performance at all. These look very nice but is it form over function. A few years down the line is the test. Also what are the residuals. I think the UK bike market is collapsing watching bikes for sale new and used. With labours pay per mile I can see nothing but doom and gloom for leisure riding/driving. Motorcycles or campers. We are in very u certain times. Really glad you two have the recognition. It’s your chemistry that makes me want to watch. As a motorcyclist of 49 yrs never had a female pillion except daughters. Think it makes a great improvement to your life. Ihave owned many bikes and am now firmly in the less is more regards cc and size of bikes but am old. 70bhp is enough any where for me. I still think a second hand bike is a more of a sensible buy but sensibility is not always the way we rock😂. Your popularity and type of trips you do would be a great advert for Voge. They should be giving you them for a year. Well worth their investment as a global ad. Such is the power of u tube

[@ontheroadadventure]

Lets hope the pay per mile thing never comes in. If it does it could well be the last straw for allot of brits...... Abandon Ship! Thanks for your kind comments, who knows what the future holds, we would like to take the voges for a long term test for sure

[@NordicAdvRider]

It’s a beautiful looking bike and the price with panniers and topbox is a bargain. Will definitely try it out when I get the chance.

[@keepitreal1547]

Stunning bikes, only with by far the biggest market being small to midweight adventure bikes, will this 900 be dismissed by many? UK new bike stats state that the bigger cc adventure bike sales have suffered these past few years & in all motorbike sales, only the small to mid size adventure bikes have/are selling above all others. I'm in the market for a new bike, yet with many midsized bikes being so accomplished (Voge 525dsx, Benelli 502X, MT450, Himalayan etc) i ask myself what will the bigger cc bikes (in the real world) do, that the others won't??? They will also cost more in insurance, fuel & upkeep.

[@ontheroadadventure]

A very strong point you have there, Of course Voge have there midrange offerings too. But as you say it is getting harder to justify the need of such powerful and expensive to run motos

[@keepitreal1547]

@@ontheroadadventure Absolutely, the market has changed & many riders have woken up to a lesser cc bike, with it doing all they need & cheaper in every way. 8-10 years ago, the European market used to be all scooters & big bikes, with very little sales anywhere else. Since it's mostly scooters & mid size bikes, with larger cc bikes selling very few. The UK entered that mindset 3 years ago & it's only going to get stronger, as more & more people realise the reality of their needs. At the end of the day the speed limit in the UK is a maximum 70mph & with this in mind, is there really any value in big cc bikes? Recently the Internet has shown us more & more individuals touring the world on extremely cost effective & cheap to run 125cc - 411cc bikes, doing 75 - 120mpg. It's all food for thought.

[@ontheroadadventure]

We agree, in fact these thoughts have crossed our own minds. We recently did over 5000 miles around Europe and didnt exceed about 80mph, only touching motorway once or twice. Do we NEED Heavy 1100cc adventure bikes or are we making life difficult and more expensive for ourselves?

So how do you both compare them to your Africa Twins ?

[@ontheroadadventure]

The twins are a little bigger, but theres more tech on the Voge for sure and all as standard at almost half the cost of a new ATAS for example which still doesnt match up to spec.... Ours maybe Honda but they have not been without problem

[@adventurebeforedementia2090]

Great review guys. Clear, concise and down to earth! First impressions…..? Well, if you ignore the obvious temptation for Brand snobbery you’d have to be pretty blind not to concede it’s a good looking bike, with high spec features and all for a very reasonable price. As for reliability….only time will tell but to be fair one or two of the European bigger hitters (mainly the orange one) are pretty lamentable when it comes to quality, durability and after care service! I suspect the European and Japanese manufacturers are ultimately gonna get a bloody nose in the same way the British manufacturers received from the Japanese all those years ago! Any down sides……well, if you’re happy to overlook all the cyber attacks, human rights abuses, corrupt practices and blatant IP (Intellectual Property) thefts which Chinese manufacturers resort to on a routine basis then……I guess not? Still a step too far for me I’m afraid!

[@ontheroadadventure]

Well we hear what your saying BUT the reality is, The BMW parts are made in the same Chinese factory... As are the KTM and many others.... The politics is impossible to avoid, which only leads us back to the End product in which to choose... That and the price of said product of the same quality and origin

I think you both need to do a long term review on this one Guys. Would you trade the V Twins for these bikes ?

Automatic brake checking, who would have thought. They need to make an AMT one so I can ride it.

Very impressive 👍. In essence, it’s a direct clone of my BMW F900GS, but a lot cheaper….

[@ontheroadadventure]

We cant say that but..... In fairness in part its not a clone.... It is Exactly the same. The parts fitted to this and the BMW are the same, made in the same factory by the same company Loncin.... So is it now coming down to Badge Snobbery dispite the Similarities? The Depreciation alone on the BMW over 5 years would pay for this one i bet!

[@momo-go4pl]

That’s well said! Most of the parts of BMW and other big brands are produced in China so this Voge is basically BMW but fairly priced!

[@ontheroadadventure]

The Arguement of chinese bikes being worse quality than KTM or BMW or Triumph is no longer valid being that there parts are coming from the same places...

[@chrisbittlestone9264]

@@ontheroadadventure the big difference is dealer support and spares, etc, but if/when Voge’s dealer network here expands that’s an issue which should look after itself. I wish them luck as a brand as “the big boys” may have had it easy in past years, even without the cost of living squeeze, etc.

[@ontheroadadventure]

I agree, If they cant offer the parts and after service they are doomed.... However the guys at voge were allowing these to be tested in ways that did not make the edit...
