FIRST in the US! KOVE 450 Rally Unboxing, First Look, and quick ride on the Sonora Rally Bike!

- The Kove 450 Rally production models are finally HERE on US soil and I was stoked to be one of the first to pick one up! This is just a raw, kinda behind the scenes look at the pickup process. I did get to ride Sunier's Sonora Rally Bike and it was AWESOME but a little loud for my old ears :) From what I remember it feels very similar to the standard Kove 450. Mellow down low, then an absolute rip above 4000 rpm. These bikes are AMAZING! So far there doesn't seem to be anything different from the pre production version to the production version, but I'll go over it and do a video about that later.
I'll have a ton more videos coming up about the Kove, build quality, initial mods, etc. This bike finally has me excited again!

Much love!

Guys just a quick update while I'm still signed in... I just finished my Kove break in cycle (I'll have a video about the break in process very soon) and this bike pulls even HARDER than the pre production version I tested! I think they've changed the mapping a bit because it feels better at lower rpms, and absolutely RIPS at 5000+! I am beyond happy with it so far!!! It's hard to keep the front wheel on the ground with only 2.7 gallons in the tank (I never rode the demo with less than 5 gallons in it) and whatever they did to these new production bikes! Many more videos and modifications coming soon!
Just post us raw stuff. We just wanna see it fly...
Is this the unicorn 🦄
@@ericunderwingit's not even street legal so not really.
@@ThiefOfOranges Damnit, didn't realize that. Well, I won't be considering one in the future until I can get a street legal version.
Merry Christmas!

Your not the only one excited to see how this works out. Knowing you will provide a truthful evaluation of these machines that are accessible to us weekend warrior's without breaking the bank is a big deal. Thank you!
Good to see you taking a liking to GPX and what Gary has done with the brand. They're constantly improving and welcome input from the community. No other brand is doing that. Stoked to see you riding it!
Can’t wait to see how ownership shakes out over time and what impressions you have along the way. It’s a bike I could actually afford with some saving that’d meet a lot of my wants/needs 👌
Been subbed to you for over 10 years, watched the update the downs, the times when the moto adventure Vlogs were so popular. Loved when you shared your personal an mental health struggles. Idk why but I feel this video may be a start to a new chapter for everide! Keep doing what your doing! And make sure FAITH an FAMILY IS ALWAYS FIRST! Blessings brotha🤙🏻
I am super excited for you! Can't wait to see what the future with this bike brings.
Congratulations Tyler. I'll have to watch the video later, I'm at work. Glad to see that you have it now so that you can give us all a good review of the owner's experience.
Good seeing you stoked Dude!
That is an incredible unboxing service from the dealer. Kudos to them!
Awesome Tyler! Can't wait to hear more about it!
Congratulations!!!
Soo Happy for you bud. Cant wait for the upcoming videos 🤙🤙🤙
Amazing, Thank you for sharing the excitement!
Congrats Tyler, well deserved 👍👌
This is bad ass, and so is your shirt! And your channel 😍 Can't wait to see more!
Looking forward to upcoming rides!
congrats!! Been following the KOVE 450 Rally's release since I came across your videos early this year! Would definitely follow your update and also interested to see how the bike perform on some technical stuff since it prefers high rav!! Looks dope gotta say!!
Did Joe end up moving out there for the job?? Gary hiring him IMO is the best thing he could have did for this brand. That guy is a crazy genius craftsman/mechanic fabbing up his own parts by hand. He's done suspension work for me in the past.
Really looking forward to more videos about the Kove.
Super excited for you Tyler . I rode one at Giant loop it was rad.
Yeah Buddy! I can tell by your excitement that I'll be happy with my purchase. Being down in Tucson now, a drive up to St. George for an eveRide Kove Rally is no big deal! Let's make it happen!
The Kovid bike is here !!! wo hooooo !!!
Looking forward to the upcoming Kove content 👍🏻
You'll only be a few hours away from one, when I get mine. Test ride will cost you a 6-pack 🤣
Looks cool!
So jealous of you. No mention of these bikes coming to Australia yet. Anyway happy for you and can't wait for your next video.
Exciting and EPIC.
looks great!
Your way more stoked than I. Maybe Gary's chill has rubbed off a bit. Mine will be here one day after I leave for my labor day weekend ride. The DRZ will get the nod this one last time for awhile. Can't wait to see the break in Video.
Hi From Argentina, Excelent Video, this past week there was a race, Desafio Ruta 40 and the Kove 450 rally won the open categorie vs ktm and huskys and in the race was Luciano an Kevin Benavides, Toby price and Other Big teams, is just to put on perspective of the magnitude of the event, in Argentina its gone to sell by the name of RVM 450 Rally. !!!! Keep Doing What you do We all Enjoy it!!!!!!
Joe is THE man!
Finally!
congrats - bring us more :-)
Good to see you building a relationship with Gary. Back to the budget stuff like you use to do.
Great to see! and my 990 is nervous. :)
Merry Christmass
I love your enthusiasm, in every man there is a little boy, especially if he rides motorcycles. I would kill for one here in New Zealand, figureatively speaking of course.
excited to see whats to come with these bikes :) if I had $9k to throw at something, it'd be hard to resist throwing it at one of these
WHOA!!!!!😮😮😮
Oh yeah!!!!!
Yeah, I want one so bad...even though I already have a 2017 Husky 501. Kove looks so Rad!
Came across your review video in March and promptly put down a deposit. My only regret is that my bike isn't in this shipment but the next. Looking forward to your review of the production bike.
Would it be possible to make a comparison between the low and high seat version? Thanks.
Thanks.. for the video..
Real exiting I’d like a in depth walk around looking at the build quality and the price of parts. Like so many I want something a bit bigger than my 300 yet not as heavy as a 650 -700. And a “real” rally bike not just a plastic-coated dual sport.
Great!!
Can you do a comparison test between the low and high versions? I wonder what the difference is due to the difference in suspension travel and the height of the center of gravity..
locks pretty sick, can you plate these yet or are they still waiting on that?
I may be trading my WR250R for one of these once street legal. These look Awsome!
Hey, awesome looking bikes, how does the standard seat height feel ? Also what is your inside leg measurement, just for comparison.
So you mentioned a lower one. What is the seat hieght on the lower one...as im height challended. They start as easy as my trusty dusty DRZ does. But i had to lower my DRZ to tippy toe. Jusy starting to look around for a 2nd ride. DRZ is my main thing. But always looking for new and interesting things. And have followed this one since it first became on everyones radar. Looking forward to your true review like you always do. But yeah, if you dont get time to answer this, at laeats throw the info in the review video of the seat hieght for both the normal and low version. Thanks a bunch and keep on doing what you do brother. Been a follower since the begining with the Blackwidow. Which by the way was the reason when i switched from crotch rockets to dual sport, that i chose the mightu DRZ. 53,000 miles later she still starts like turning on an light switch. The instant you hit the button, its running.
Have you had a chance to ride the lower bike you picked up, and if so how does the suspension feel compare to the standard height model? I'm going to pre order one or the other in the next couple day's. Thanks
Setting them up out of the box, it is the little things, that another might miss.
I'm super interested, so thanks for sharing. How tall are you, as I'm considering the short version. I'm 5'10.
What’s the pros and cons vs standard and short ?
Im 5’10 if that helps
You going to be on that in the CLASS rally in November?
The bike looks well made but the tightness doubts remain
Did you leave the key on Gary's bike and kill the battery haha
@@travelingfrog888 it gave me anxiety
i sure did
i saw a couple of ppl riding these at the touratech rally a few months ago no idea how they got them
The promotional videos all claimed the dash could be used as a sat nav linking with think rider app - off road gpx files could then be viewed through the dash whilst speed and basic info were still retained but not showing so prominently nobody is covering this - does it work???
I'll be curious to see how this turns out for you guys cuz that's an awful lot of nipple excitement over a Chinese bike! 😂
Short and tall models ? What’s the story with that ?
38" seat height and 36" seat height
When I move out to STG area I’ll be buying one for sure! My nipples are hard too 😂😂
How much did you pay for it? 😊
🚨 UNICORN ALERT 🚨
lets see if can get to 2k miles before she blows.
No way to register it for a plate in Indiana. These bikes come with an "off road" title. Indiana no longer allows conversions which sucks because I've converted a few dirt bikes to dual sports. Check your state laws.
Are they using KTM or CFMOTO's engine?
CFMOTO chinesium engine. Unreliable AF
So unreliable that three finished the Dakar rally.
@@dualsportedc How many have you worked on?
@@jasonb6570 no Koves yet because they just came out. Repairing my friends and family's china bikes (6 bikes) from Zongshen and CF Moto after rescuing their arses mutiple times, I've done a nightmarish amount of times. Even more than I've done for my buddy's KTM and that's saying something
Turn the key off . . .
Are these street legal?
No. Off-road only
The street legal ones are coming later.
@@samuelfox8126 One year ago, they claimed that these were going to be street legal. These were delayed a year because they were working on the emissions and other issues. These bikes are a lot more powerful than the street eagle ones (if they show up at all) can be because the street legal ones will be running much leaner fuel maps, catalytic converters and the timing will be altered for emissions.
So any claims of performance from this shipment will be misleading to l people considering buying the street legal version; again, if it shows up.
Why is the dislike button disabled?
Probably because "Chinese motorcycle".....at least that's why I'd give him a thumbs down.
When are you going to mention these are not street legal?
He live in Colorado so probably not an issue for him.
Yeah. good - adios~
You're better than this everide. No thanks on this one comrade.
Built by slaves for the enjoyment of all ... Awesome.
Honestly, thing looks hideous as is but, if it works, lasts and price is right, why not give it a chance.
I've mentioned before about you supporting a country that wants to destroy you and everyone in the USA. But, how about supporting the slave labor it took to build the Kove and GPX bikes. It is sickening to see how happy you are knowing this. I know both bikes are a great value and they should be considering the people or children that built them get paid very little.
Thank you for supporting the CCP comrade.
Well said, CCP IS TRYING ANY WAY IT CAN TO TAKE DOWN THE US . HOW SOON WE FORGET ABOUT COVID. UNBELIEVABLE
Can you get the pro kove 450 rally factory edition but with the low seat height version? Or only the regular 450 rally?
I would like to see a version of this bike without fairings, like a bike more closer to the looks of the DRZ 400 or a ktm 500.
👍👍👍👌
I can't wait for your full review man, if this is the "unicorn" I'm definitely getting one 😊
It's not. Chinese bikes are proven to be unreliable, slow, and did I mention unreliable?
@@dualsportedc chill your hate, "patriot" :)
@@bogdandanailescu nothing patriotic about it. My friends and family have owned tons of chinese "bikes." They all had massive mechanical failures in the first 1,000 miles. They're junk. Even worse than Harley Davidson which I didn't think was possible
@@dualsportedc thanks for the heads up! I will not rush into buying one anytime soon, I'll wait a year or two to see the feedback. BTW I have KTM so I'm used to unreliable bikes. :)
@@dualsportedc I dont think you are talking about the same bikes . Amazon pit bikes these are NOT.
