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 👌👌👌👌👌
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
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 👍
Couldnt agree more, at half the price of a fully loaded new AT it would be hard not to buy this over the Honda...
Definitely a lot of bike for the money and as you both said ready to ride
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
Brilliant vid ...Keep them coming ...I like your down to earth reviews ...
Thanks Andrew youll get no BS from us!
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.
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.
My old stomping ground around chorley, Bolton and Rivington.
Beautiful area
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
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?
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?
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?
@@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+
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
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 👍👍👌👌
It is Beautiful around there! We really wish we had brought our tent so we could have stayed longer to explore, We will be back there when the weather improves without a doubt. The Bike is going to be another winner, The chinese are really upping the game, they want the top spot
@@ontheroadadventure That would be great when you get the chance to come over again, your welcome to come to my humble abode anytime, bacon butties n a brew 😊👊
Now thats an offer thats harder to refuse than the voge!
@@ontheroadadventure haha anytime buddy 👍
Cheers, you know its so amazing how people invite us to their homes or to stay etc... We feel like we have friends all over the place we have never had the chance to meet in person yet....
Love this! The black and gold looks best
Its a great looking machine isnt it, The question is, would you take the Voge for yourself? Its a very tempting offer...
Rich &Ewa be careful and don’t drop them look amazing lucky
We promise if we get our hands on bikes we are using them to and beyond our capability lol
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 😉
Cheers Dave....
1:19 Nice motor guys 👋🤠👍 on the Christmas list then you two. 👋🤠👍
These chinese brands are bringing fantastic value for money to the table, they are becoming impossible to ignore
I love that bike, and you both did a great review on it,thank you.
The Bike is Fantastic value for money, we just report on what we see.... This is going to sell
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.
They are making it so difficult for people to continue to look the other way from the Chinese brands with bikes like this
@@ontheroadadventure they certainly are, I was hoping they would lend you guys a pair for long term testing? That would be great for everyone! Ride safe A& L.
Who knows what the future will bring....
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 😊🇯🇵👍
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
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.
Interesting, I believe some Hondas are built in Thailand too?
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.
Thanks Max, Yes they know how to put a offer on the table that people will find hard to refuse...
It's a BMW F800GS in disguise. Not a clone, but built in the same factory, same engine etc.
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.
This is true...
The Morals of it are difficult, we try to focus on only the machine itself on offer to the consumer and give a honest opinion
It’s a very clever bike it kind of reminds me of a tiger 900
It’s a nice looking bike and it’s nice to see something different
Yeah this is a Cross between the Tiger and F900GS and shares many parts too
@@ontheroadadventure I’m not surprised soon they will dominate the car and bike markets if they can prove reliability and they don’t rust easily
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
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?
Great review.. The height surprised me.. It looks taller.. All reviews are very positive.. Don't know of any dealers around my area though.. I have a Tracer 900 which I have had for a few years, and very pleased with it.. But this is making me 🤔🤔..
I think you can look on the Motogb website to find your local dealer? theres lots of them now all over the country. I think youll find this comparable to the tracer 900 of which i am a huge fan
Would you change your Africa Twins for this ?. Really liked your review, well done. 👍
Hmmm thats a hard one. Now... If i had to buy a new bike, Would i spend 14k on a new twin then buy all the luggage and extras i need totalling around 18k OR would i save almost 10k and buy the Voge? You can be sure i would buy the Voge. No Question
@@ontheroadadventure That seems very sensible, I would agree. The test of time ? More Voge, if they sponsor you, keep one twin and one Voge, it would be the greatest comparison ever. 👍👍👍
That would be interesting! I wonder if you bought a new twin and a new voge which would have problems first... Ewas 2023 Honda had a Engine leak within a year.... Mine has the same oil leak now... Is Honda Reliability all its cracked up to be? Or is it all the same shit at different prices?
I can feel two new bikes coming 😂
For you or us??!
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.
A big leap forward i think these bikes are, innovation and brand competition is great for us as the consumer
Apart from the bike being quite new to the market it would be interesting to see how it will perform in the long run
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?
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.
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
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.
How will the Big brands compete with the Chinese if they keep bringing deals like this out?
Be interesting to see how these will do test of time. I be keeping my eye on Voge for sure. Probably see how these ate when they hit second hand market in the coming years when they been out for a while.
Alot a tech on the bike. Time will tell how reliable they are.
Rich love the tech wow could save you a lot i get lot too close to my rear
That Radar system is very impressive isnt it! I think this is leading the way for the other Motorcycle manufactures, We will all want this on our bikes now... They are setting a standard
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. 😊
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
I like it and for that price it will sell . Excellent review but i must resist because the TRK you reviewed
i bought 🤣🤣.
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?
Great review guys, what value for the money! Would you trade the twins for Voges though?
Would i trade it now..... Hmmm thats a hard one. Now... If i had to buy a new bike, Would i spend 14k on a new twin then buy all the luggage and extras i need totalling around 18k OR would i save almost 10k and buy the Voge? You can be sure i would buy the Voge. No Question
What a fantastic review on this lovely bike. Voge should give you guys a free bike after that review. I have no doubt you will get asked to review other bikes along with invitations to appear on events like motorcycle live or the motorcycle show with the great Henry Cole. Such a professional review !!! 😊
Well, what can i say... We would happily accept any such offer or invitation!
@@ontheroadadventure username Kate appeared on The Motorcycle Show. Just keep doing what you’re doing and who knows what will happen. Ride safe you two 👍
Thanks Pete! See you in the next one
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
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...
Lovely bike and well equipped, for me that seat hight would be to low im 6ft 4 with a 34 inside leg. The curse of being to tall your restricted to the taller bigger bikes.
im sure Aftermarket parts will start flowing very soon that could help you out...
Not sure I like this rear radar thing. The brake light coming on might make Tommy Tailgater think you’re brake checking them and as the UK is such an angry place at the moment I’m not sure that is a good idea. I understand their thinking but I think in practice it’s probably going to be more curse than blessing.
A interesting point you raise there....
Yes I agree and thought the same, good idea in principal but in reality the way some tailgaters are they'd get angry, get in front and brake check you. Shame though
Like the bike and was going to get a 500 a couple of years ago but wasn't sure on servicing and parts availability etc, especially when abroad, so ended up getting a honda
@@ljdiscoveryI think this is one of many challenges facing new manufacturers like Voge. You make a great point, if something goes pop in the middle of Europe where are you going to turn? The other biggie for me is depreciation, this thing is cheap new so once out of warranty with some miles under its belt it’s going to be worth very little. It’s a shame because it looks a decent bike, the Chinese will make you some really high end kit if you ask them to. Apple for example make their beautiful, well engineered computers and phones in China, but they will also make the cheapest junk possible if that’s what you want. And they will quite happily steal your IP to knock out fakes and there’s very little you can do about it.
The brake light and indicators flash together so anyone thinking that is brake checking are clearly ignorant or oblivious to their behaviour in regards to other road users
nice review guys nice bike
Thanks.... Can you see yourself in the future on a Voge?
@@ontheroadadventure yes i could but i love my old 21 yr old bm 1150R to much i live in lyon france and go to the mountians all the time awsome
Now i think you have a good choice there, I bet that 21 year old simple bike is more reliable than a modern one
Very impressive 👍. In essence, it’s a direct clone of my BMW F900GS, but a lot cheaper….
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!
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!
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...
@@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.
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... They are very confident in what they are bringing to the table.... One guy asked to have knobblies put on one and he was a crazy off road kinda guy, he couldnt break it!
Wow £9000 that’s got to worry the big boys
They have a real problem.... People dont have the money we used too and now this is on offer fully equipped at half the price of comparable bikes...
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.
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
@@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.
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?
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!
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’ll reserve judgment on this until I’ve seen long term owners reviews with 20k miles on the clock.
Thats fair.... I think im confident enough to say, If given the chance i would take this across Europe and Put those 20ks on one and see how it performs, If it was successful i Reckon Voge would sell many many of these! Voge has our attention, Now they need the peoples confidence
I think you both need to do a long term review on this one Guys.
Would you trade the V Twins for these bikes ?
We agree, a day is great but we want to put them through some real miles and see how they do... Do you think Voge would be confident enough to see us do that? Time will tell
@@ontheroadadventure They’ve obviously been following your channel hence the invitation to test ride them.
Perhaps a little one to one with that dealership and sus them out, tell them it would be an honest review with warts n all they worst they can say is No but I think it would be an opportunity missed by them
We will see how it works out...
Everything is ok when it’s new. It’s when they get a few months/years old that’s what sorts the men from the boys, you guys are great and the only reason why I watched this video but I’ll stick with my “expensive”
BMW GS 1250 . Cheers
We agree totally, Time is going to be the deciding factor on these, but you have to admit they look the part, have all the tech and a half price tag on them... Its an attractive offer
Going to sit on fence with this bike. See how they go on after a few thousand miles. Always been Japanese 🇯🇵 in bikes. But for the price of the voge it’s something definitely not to be snubbed at. Just hope they last.
If they prove themselves reliable over the next few years, just like the Benelli's have for example in Europe then these are going to sell like hot cakes.
build quality 🤔 with all that tec, will cee😂
If they can prove reliability and parts availability these are going to sell like hot cakes
👌
Would you buy one?
You getting them?
Maybe Voge will sort us some out for a long term review? You think they are confident enough?
9k for all that. Make you wonder why you would get a GS.
It is becoming very difficult to ignore these bikes now....
A lot of bike for the money.
Almost leading the way with some of the tech onboard this voge, and yet Rock bottom on the pricing... Do you think these chines brands will cause problems for the Big Boys? How are they going to compete in the future?
As nice as the tech is its not that important for me,personally i would be interested in the availability of quality spare parts etc.
That is going to be the deciding factor for this brand, if they have reliability and parts availability they will smash the market... I suspect they know this and are going to make it happen
I'm assuming as you didn't mention it that this model doesn't have Android Auto/Car Play, those panniers are exactly the same as my CFMoto 800 MT I guess they are made by the same manufacturer and look like they are interchangeable. It's got another 100cc yet only puts out the same power as my 800 MT, I might have considered this bike had it have been out at the same time but I'm committed now, could always trade in the GS I suppose? Ha! Only kidding! I would never swap the GS it's just MEGA!!!!🤣
Yes i suspect they all share many parts, Loncin is the Chinese company making and building the bikes and parts, the company is Massive in the moto world and seem to have their fingers in many pies
Whooo I’m first
Beat me 😂
That was fast! Now watch the video lol
good effort though! you beat me here!!
Boo! Little pinks! CCP!
Lost me mate?
@@ontheroadadventure Little Pink is a term used to describe young jingoistic Chinese nationalists on the internet.
CCP... surely people know.
Loncin... Voge... eww!
For us, its a fact we all have to accept, almost all things we buy, have in our homes or vehicles have in some way connections to being produced in china. We dont get involved with the politics of it, Its not our expertise i guess, But the End result, the Voge seems to be a good value for money product. Reliability should be on par with all the other brands being that the parts come from the same factories
@ontheroadadventure You did enjoy visiting MotoGB didn't you.
Fair trade, and everyone being treated fairly in the chain is important and we would like to think this is the case, but the politics of chinese products is not something i know enough about to have an opinion on if im honest
cheap Chinese metal , buy something else
Time is going to tell....
Funny you say that. In my manufacturing industry people used to say that 10 - 15yrs ago, yet since the so called Chinese rubbish has completely taken over the industry, to the point that every other country manufacturer has packed in.
I can see the motorbike industry going the same way, now the Chinese are producing such quality like the Voge brand & others.
What a dumb comment 😂😂
People dont like this, or the politics of it But it is happening...
@@ontheroadadventure
100% happening.
The Chinese aren't playing about in making motorbikes, they're deadly serious & won't rest until they have the whole market to themselves.
They've done it in so many industries, it's their aim.
Once they start, there's no stopping them.
