Heated grips, heated seat, cruise control, front camera, luggage, crash bars, sat nav and wifi this is unbelievable out the box and it looks awesome can't wait for the review
Really interesting preview Mark, seems to come with a mighty impressive spec! Will be great to see it ridden, will gladly wait for that review! Cheers.
Another great video mark ,what a great looking bike for the money the Chinese have come a long way in the last 5 years,what a good value for the money machine,keep up the good work thanks.
Wow that’s blown me away,it’s totally stunning out of the crate Mark. Mega spec & unbelievable value for money,why would you waste all your money on a Big GS or Africa Twin. The quality,design & finish with each & every New model the Chinese release is bringing then closer to the market’s mainstream players,I don’t care what anyone says - the Chinese bikes are a force to be reconned with now. Really looking forwards to your review mate.
Thanks john couldn't agree more ... The quality is right up there now and where are "jap" bikes made these days???? Full review on the 21st Cheers mark
These are incredible for the money & in black with the gold wheels absolutely stunning. I Do think this is a strong favourite to be my next bike. Crackin vid, looking forward to a ride review. Nice one.. 👍🏍️👍
Hi Mark , Hope alls good with you. This Voge looks really good value for the price . Get past the New Brand stigma & there on to a winner .I think these will fly out the shops.....
G'day Mark, l can't get over how many new Motorcycle companies that are producing good quality machines be good too see your road test and thoughts, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Great first look. This has to be the bargain of the century, not my kind of bike (although it's a very similar colour scheme) but for those who like these adventure bikes it's going to be really tempting. Thanks for doing and posting.
Good initial review, loncin havw been making this engine for BMW for years, glad its finally landed in the UK. You missed that the rear radar also flashes the hazard lights if a vehicle gets too close or you brake too hard. 4.5 months with mine, one of the first in Europe and zero problems. Its not a town bike though, like KTM and other dual sport adventure bikes its highly strung meaning its happiest 3k revs and above. Enjoy ✌️
@@markpulling12 ah ok I've just done a 3k review. I wouldn't use the quick shifter before you have 500 mile on it then be positive with it don't be afraid to hold the throttle open, get to 4 thousand revs and positively upshift through each gear keeping the throttle pinned. Works best in sports mode. The cruise control is superb. Have fun Mark.✌️
@@motechRevolution hi one more question I read an online manual saying the service intervals are 5000 km,/3000 miles ... Then another article saying 6000 miles ... Which is the same as bmw ... F850gs which basically what it is Do you know what the intervals are ? Many thanks again for your help Mark
@@markpulling12 It's actually 10000 KM although the service interval is set at 1000 for the first service, the service light cannot be reset until the spanner symbol shows on the dash, I took mine in at 980km and had to do the reset myself, it's the same with the 5k preset once you get to hext 5K (6) on the clock it's a simple reset to add another 5 or pass by your dealer and they will reset it to 10k. I am leaving mine at 5k as I will do a 5k oil drop. Hope that makes sense. 1k Kms then every 10k Kms official service for warranty✌️
Excellent video and adventure bike. I wonder if this Kawasaki bike may be available in the United States. Thank you for such excellent in depth presentation of this great Kawasaki. Good job with the in depth details.
Do we really need all that tech? I nearly choked on my coffee when you said it had blind spot monitoring. There isn't a blind spot when you turn your head to do the life-saver! Lovely looking bike, but there's a bit too much to go wrong once it's out of warranty for me. Now if you stripped off the unnecessary tech and hard cases and priced it at £6-7k then it would be seriously tempting.
At 9k this is a bargain In 3 to 4 years time it will be both around 4.5k so only 4.5k in depreciation. Spend 16k on a european bike and depreciation will be 8k over 3 to 4 years Definitely interested
That is an incredible piece of kit for that money!!! Fantastic spec as well!!! Can't wait for the ride-review! Thst is going to sell like hot cakes! Greetings from Australia mate! EDIT: Unfortunately no Australian importer but we are just about to get the new CF Moto 800 MT-X
Hi Mark I've just had a 30 minute demo of this bike just 2 things I noticed the indicator switch has no feel to it and my left ankle got very very hot on the demo your thoughts once you have ridden it.
Hi Brian I've ridden it already for 2 hours brilliant... I didn't notice any heat .. I agree with the indicator switch but it didn't bother me Best wishes mark
Looks great, but a couple of things bother me. The keyless ignition system, how complicated/ expensive would it be if it fails?. Can it not have a manual key override as a backup? A lot of tech - brilliant until it starts failing out of warranty as someone else mentioned.. I'd still consider one, these are just my humble issues..😉
These will sell as quick as dealers stock them. Everybody cast doubt on Royal Endfields when they first hit the Uk look at them today. This is in another league for value compared to RE,s, There is going to be some soul searching with European and Japanese manufacturers
Hi no they are clamped on and need the key to remove... I guess a determined thief could potentially unblolt all the scaffolding but that would be a lot of fuss Personally I like the panniers Full review in 6 days Cheers mark
Hi Paul ... I don't think there will be any official UK demo bikes at dealers for a while apart from say going to moto GB BUT . Poole moto kindly let me ride their bikes pre sale 😁 Im riding it tomorrow.... Review will be uploaded on the 21 September official day Cheers mark
I think that people should take a little interest in what is going on in China. And of course stay away from any support and cooperation. This is also something that should be considered, if you look at the more well known brands like BMW, KTM. I could never buy a bike or car made in China. Consider also parts. Have a friend who waited 6 months+ for a vital spare part. He sold the bike, as soon as it was repaired.
You do know that Loncin who own Voge make all the non boxer engines for BMW and have for nearly 20 years. KTM is mostly owned by the parent company of CF Moto. Volvo and MG motors are Chinese. They are already here. Just like the Japanese in the 1970s. This Voge DSX 900 is 75% BMW F850GS. If BMW have trusted the for 20 years it tells you something. These are not the low quality chinese bikes of the past. Even the Chinese have turned away from European and American products in favour of high tech home products. Many companies like Ford and VW were making a fortune in China, not anymore, factories are closing. European bike manufacturers will have to drop their prices.
I waited 3 months for parts from Honda for the cb500x one of their most sold bikes then 4 months for parts for the nt1100. I also sold the bikes and never looked back.
Be interesting to see your full review of this. Motechrevolution has been running these for a while and his vids are interesting. Lots of design faults, terrible luggage solution. Kind of shows that the Chinese are on the right path but not there yet. Great at copying, not great at innovation as it would seem.
That type of bike with all that tec leaves me cold. Not for me that's for sure infact I'd be surprised if i could actually get on it without a set of stepladders.
Can't believe how much speck this has got, I guess the only risk is putting 9 k into an unknown future proof brand, although without the badge would the average rider know the difference 😊 .. too tall for me xx great teaser Mark, you've rode enough to know your stuff xx
HHmmm looks very like a Benelli. It is a fantastic looking machine but the only thing worries me about these chinese bikes is resale and just how much would it depreciate over a few years...
Hi this comes up very often My take is ... It's all relative... Bmw 20 k sell 15 k a few years later This 9 k sell 5 k Buy cheap sell cheap if you catch my meaning Best wishes mark
That seat is too high for my peace of mind, would be worried about stopping alongside a dip or slope. Low seats (a la BMW) simply take out padding and make it uncomfortable.
Looks well lets see how it rides. Chinese are absolutely miles ahead of the game and are going to decimate the Japanese and European bike sector unless those main stream manufacturers get real wirh their prices.
Lovely looking bike but get rid of all the pointless and troublesome electronics. Just not needed. Simplicity is the key.. These heavy 'adventure' bikes are just a big con, rather like the Chelsea Tractors..
What another adventure bike with a stupid seat height ... Strange that bmw gs range and triumph, the best sell is lower seat heights now, so customers are not on their tip toes .... hmm, maybe there's something in it ...

Just what I wanted, a review from someone I trust, interesting bike. Great video as always.

Never mind this , do the red Superdream in the background.
Really interesting preview Mark, seems to come with a mighty impressive spec! Will be great to see it ridden, will gladly wait for that review! Cheers.
Every thing was going well tell you mentioned keyless can’t beet a key 🔑
do you have keyless bike?
Can't wait for this could tip the scales either this or the 525 for me.
I hope they sell this bike in the USA! The bike looks amazing with all those features that would cost twice as much with other brand names.
Looks fantastic, they really have thought of everything… it will be interesting to see if it stands the test of time
Basically a bmw 850gs. Nice video Mark 👍
reviews in France are just saying this is the best bang for the money if you don't plan to do a lot of off road ;)
Hi yes same in Spain ... Flying off the shelves 😲
Another great video mark ,what a great looking bike for the money the Chinese have come a long way in the last 5 years,what a good value for the money machine,keep up the good work thanks.
Looks like the perfect bike you don't need to add anything just gas and ride.i can't wait ❤
Looks bloody fantastic Mark. Hope it rides as well as it looks then they’ll be onto a real winner.

The big 4 Japanese Motorcycle manufacturers probably need to do something to combat what appears to be some very nicely engineered bikes out of China.
More interesting is the Honda Superdream 400N
These will sell as quick as dealers stock them. Everybody cast doubt on Royal Endfields when they first hit the Uk look at them today. This is in another league for value compared to RE,s, There is going to be some soul searching with European and Japanese manufacturers
That price point is pretty damn good. I'm keen to see the picture quality from that onboard camera, and how much storage it has.
Hi， As I know of the camera, there’s no storage card inside, so we need to have a card before use it.
Mark is there a problem with supplied luggage, can it be unbolted and stolen even when locked.
Hi no they are clamped on and need the key to remove... I guess a determined thief could potentially unblolt all the scaffolding but that would be a lot of fuss
