@@GillyBikesthere’s quite a big difference in the L and Rally. I have a Rally and my buddy has the L, so we were able to compare. I definitely have about 100 miles more in fuel capacity. And no body really realizes the extent of wind protection you get on the Honda Rally. Not only does the windshield itself serve as a wind deflector, but the lower fairing diverts the cold air around your legs in the winter, which is a really nice aspect. But, this is also a negative aspect when it comes to the brutally hot summers that we are in right now. I don’t get the airflow that my buddy gets on his L. There are days I wish I had went with the L, but those days are never during the winter. 4:43

It’s not the amount of foam cushion that you have that serves as comfort, but it’s the type of foam that makes the difference. As an owner of the Honda 300 Rally I know this because the replacement seat that I installed had less foam, but is extremely more comfortable. I like the look of your bike, the color scheme, tinted windshield, and a set of headlights that match in size, all of this does a lot for the esthetics. I like the look of your bike over all more so than I do my Honda. But only time will tell how durable and long lasting your machine is. We already know what to expect from the Honda, and for that reason, I was able to adapt to the appearance of my bike in no time. Of course I did have to make the necessary modifications to meet my needs, but that’s not a problem for me because I know that I will own the bike for a very long time. I truly hope that the Voge has the reliability as the Honda. That would make it such an awesome deal. But I’m sure the price will increase in due time as well. Same goes for the Kove 450 Rally. Time will tell...

@@GillyBikes that’s awesome, like I said, I really like the look of it. While I was on the waiting list for the Honda 300, I started losing faith in getting one because my initial order got canceled, and then I couldn’t find one anywhere, so I decided to start looking for a 250l Rally. And the only one that I really wanted was the 2018 model that came in gray and black. I had red Honda’s all my life, I just wanted a different color! Lol... Then at the last minute, the day before I was leaving for a road trip from Louisiana to Missouri to go and pick up my new used 250 Rally, limited edition color, I came across a 300 in Mississippi, so I jumped on it. Lol... I sacrificed the color that I wanted for the newer machine. And they even had both the L model and the Rally, plus a 450l, and even a XR650l, so I had my choice of all those bikes and I chose the 300 Rally.

La Voge has the KLX 300 engine Loncin has been making for Kawasaki since ages. The engine is a proven one, the con is that is pretty buzzy on road. Thing easy to fix as the 1st and 2nd gear are extremely short so a change of rear sprocket will not harm for the "soft" offroad . The Voge has been sold in Argentine since years and some bikes have now 50000 km and more without reliability problems. The Honda is made in China , assembled in Vietnam, no Japanese has been harmed making it.

The Voge has been sold in Argentina since years and some bikes have now 50000 km and more without reliability problems. Plenty of Spanish guys have ridden this bike pretty hard including 3500 km tours in Morocco.A guy named Mabre has taken it in with just new tires bajas and rallies competitions including the harsh Hellas Rally in Greece. As the bike is pretty cheap with far better suspensions than the Honda, it remains some money for personal improvement. As is out of the box, the Voge is better than the Honda. The Honda is made in China , assembled in Vietnam, no Japanese has been harmed making it. And has some delicacies with the front fork and the gear selection system. But after spending 2700 USD on the suspensions Itchy Boots has made 60000 km on the Honda. The Voge costs 4700€ in France and with 1000€ more you have a pretty able bike. A Honda Rally totally prepared costs in France 10000€ (7000 the bike, and 3000 for the mods including change of the rear shock and mods of the front fork) but you can buy a Kove Rally fully legal for 10000 also. And you have very little to do, just a softer seat and luggage. The Kove is sold Euro 5, can be registered, can have insurance and you can cross any frontier in the world with its totally legal documentation. There is no match between the Honda 300 and the Kove 450 which is a total bargain. If you stay in the trails with good ability offroad but travel possibility you have the CFMoto 450 MT for 6500€, very well equipped, and nothing to do. The Chinese-Vietnamese Honda is far too expensive

Good points the Vogue wins hands down the value for money argument in Europe. In Australia, not so much. Not arguing with you, just clearing some misconceptions for people that are trying to chose. The Honda is made and assembled in Indonesia not China or Vietnam and they are pretty good quality but it is still a cheaper bike and not as polished as the Japanese assembed 250s it replaced. You do not need to spend allot of money on the Honda Rally. I bought used YSS basic suspension for it for 300 Euros. Some hand guards rear rack which again were pretty cheap second hand off the net and you are done. The bike has done over 50000 manly on trips solo fully loaded with most of the Australian hard 4x4 trails included and the basic YSS has worked very well. Yes more expensive suspension will be better but it is not necessary. I thought long and hard between the two bikes but the Honda won me over in a few but very important areas. First the gearbox on the Honda is just right. Very low first, many times i just start in second gear. This is great off road but it has a very tall overdrive 6th gear making the bike very relaxing at 100 ks per hour and alleviating the need to swap cogs on long trips. The engine is very smooth and very economical. I use an auxiliary tank and bladders which gives me a 1000 Kilometer range which no other ADV bike has come close with out overloading it and making it very hard to handle. The instrument cluster is amazing. Very accurate with three trip meters and a very accurate computer calculating fuel consumption very well. The lack of a temp reading being the only thing missing. So in my opinion both are great bikes. if you are looking for a dual sport and do big trips occasionally it is hard to go past the Vogue value for money in Europe at least. if you wand a dedicated ADV bike that will take you literally anywhere the Honda was the better choice for me and lots of other people. The cheapest and best adventure bike i ever had. I liked it so much I bough I bought another one here in Europe to do the full TET Morocco etc even though the Vogue was very tempting.

@ in Australia I got one of the first ones for about 5500 euros which is still expensive but more realistic. Payed considerably more for the European one. It depends on how you want to use it. If the milder off road trails with the very occasional hard one are the intended use then the 450s even the 650s are superior. Especially given the prices. But the tighter the trail gets on fully loaded bikes the rally, Honda or cove are far easier to ride then those bikes. My rally has replaced a fully kitted 701 desert raid to good effect and is far more useful as an adv then that bike ever was. Again given the fact I like not to shy away from the tighter trails. Now given enough stubbornness any bike will work. I used to ride a bm 1150 adv on most of those trails but the rally makes it so much easier and cheaper. The smaller ones ones you mentioned above are superior dirt bikes but not adv bikes for many reasons. The only one that could be better given my use will be the new Drz if they don’t make the same horrible mistake they made with the old one regarding the gearing .

@@tonyrdr7207 Alas, alas, alas. The new 450 DRZ has only 5 speeds...So forget the over geared 6th for the road. 2hp less (only 38 have survived) and more than 10 kg more so the weight is now around 160 kg. The price is not known but somewhere between 7 and 8000€ is announced in France, that is far too expensive compared to the competition. The weight is more than the 650 DRSE 1997, and a bunch of hp less...Sad. Beginning the 2000 the old DR 400 was already overpriced, more expensive than the 600 Bandit.

Budget is a selling point and always will be. However if you put both bikes together they are very similar. In fact the voge is better in many ways. Certainly the suspension is much better. Everyone spends money changing it on the crf and you don’t need to on the voge. It’s more comfortable and I also think it looks better. I know that’s a personal thing but I do. The fact that it’s so cheap is a bonus.

It's certainly an interesting bike. One of the worst things about the Honda is the current waiting list. Maybe this bike might reduce that waiting list a little. I wonder how long it will take for aftermarket parts, racks etc, to become available? From a price view, you do also need to consider E5 fuel, more frequent servicing and resale value. I agree it's a tougher choice than it was and there is definitely room for this bike.

I certainly like the colors better on the Voge compared to the CRF300L. That shouldn't matter but it does. I like black or gray. What the market needs is a small lightweight adventure bike that's more off road oriented. The big manufacturers refuse to give us that because it would confirm that their heavy mid-sized and full-sized ADV bikes are good long range touring bikes but are not very good off road. We FINALLY got small ADV bikes but they design and market them as entry level bikes for new riders that they can upgrade to one of their proper (much more expensive) ADV bikes in a year or two. Someone should make a good lightweight 300-450 cc single with a large fuel tank (around 20 liters), a large rear rack, comfortable seat, tubeless spoke wheels and a long service interval. And yes, it needs a damned fuel gauge, Voge. That's on the minimum equipment list.

Looks like an owl from the front. Which is good if you like owls. Personally I'd rather it looked like an owl than an insect. A lot of bikes look like insects. In some ways it is better than the CRF - suspension out the crate works better & you get bits attached already that are extras on the Honda. As for sluggish it needs to be revved, after the running in period no problem. If I was in the market for this type of bike I would almost certainly take it over the Honda...

Why would you put E10 in any small engine? I noticed a huge difference in performance when using E10 in the Tenere 700, it was sluggish. We have a number of machines with 200 - 400cc Loncin engines, and always use E5 and as we buy in quantity, it goes in the chain saws too. Never have issues in starting and again the performance is far better. Worth the extra few pence. The huge bonus with Loncin, really cheap to replace should anything go wrong. We have yet to change one however, drop the oil out and always use a quality brand and they work well. I’m about to buy the Voge Rally in addition to the Tenere World Raid, use it as a great little run about, after stripping the thing down in the workshop, grease everything and it will be good to go for many years, a low cost investment providing you give it regular maintenance. If you’re travelling across the globe, what inconvenience is it to simply do an oil change?

I think irrelevant is going too far. It’s a guide that is missing. I would always want a gauge. When hot and tired in the middle of nowhere, it’s needed. You are not working out your mpg. And like you I have travelled far and wide.

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.

Thanks for sharing your test ride. I would agree with the breaks. The gearing is set up for off road riding. I’ve seen a few make changes to that because they are mainly road riding. I bought mine as an off road bike so I’m fine with it. I can’t argue with the vibration either. Especially at high speed. I’ve got used to that though. I actually like it now. Like a free massage.

Um. To any of these bike come with a 'launch' timer? That is timer triggered by the bike moving? Must do. It is an obvious gimmick.

Maybe, but every comparison I’ve seen shows the voge to be a better bike. With it being £2500+ cheaper than the crf I’m already quids in 😎

I think it’s better. And cheaper. Only time will tell though. It’s all about how it rides and works in a few years.

Much better off road than on road. I’m the dirt it just keeps going. I found it to be better than the Honda CRF and I loved that off road as well.

I don’t think they are. They are very new to the uk. I ended up buying one. As good as, if not better than Honda’s crf 300. The bonus is they are a few thousand cheaper as well. Hopefully they will bring them to the USA soon.
