I love this bike, who doesnt love a lightweight 4 cyl?
Yeah great bike, I wanna try the one with Brembo brakes though) wonder how much will it be)
@@eddywave3315 dont forget to switch to steel braided cable too, to acomodate more effective braking
Love your reviews brother!
This is so important for me man, I hope the next ones won’t disappoint you either. Thanks for your support 🤜🤛
Thanks for the review, few have made the Kove 450RR review outside China 👍 I see below you are in the Qingdao area, I have visited there before, it is a beautiful city with a gorgeous marina. We brought you the famous Tsingtao beer from Germany 🍻
I’m a foreigner who lives here) it’s a beautiful place indeed, the only downside for bikers is winter 🥶 I truly feel awesome knowing that these videos are somehow useful! Likewise I thank you for watching! The weather is finally getting better, so soon I’ll bring you some more reviews 🤝
Again thanks for your support 🤜🤛
Kove are making some really cool bikes
Yeah, in China you have to wait for a couple of months after preorder, really hard to get a hold of one, meaning it’s something worth buying. I’m genuinely excited to see new models
The 4 cylinder sound 😍😍😍
I think you would love my new short😏 it sounds great! I’ve posted two videos back to back (Kawasaki ZX4rr and Kove 450rr) it would be great to know which bike sounds better in your opinion 🤝
Sweet machine! Amazing sound but yeah a little rough around the edges. I think it could be a fun bike to mess around on if you have access to a track our very open roads. Dude! Close call on that e-bike coming from the right!
It’s fun to ride, but it definitely needs a race track to live up to it’s potential. The sound is 🔥, does sound fast
It was a close call, but on video it looks worse than it really was😅. But we need to be careful riding here)
Because it's very cheap! Only half the price of the Kawasaki ZX-4rr! But the horsepower is equivalent! So most of the cost is spent on the engine body, and there are no such high cost and exquisite parts used on the frame and other components!
@@user-mq1no7ml9t it’s a nice bike, I’ve enjoyed it, it has some relatively cheap looking parts, but overall I like Kove 450rr, but the brakes didn’t live up to my expectations, I’ve heard you can equip it with Brembo for additional price, and I would definitely overpay a bit to have additional confidence riding. Other than that it’s an awesome value for the money, and a cool track bike
Another bike that is making waves. I hope it will be here in the Philippines
I think it should be in Philippines, they work on distributing it around the globe) the question is when?
@@eddywave3315yeah when. But is it going to be worth the wait? Basing it on your experience on the bike is it worth it?
@@SigmaMotorsiklo yeah for sure, this is the only 450 four cylinder sport bike that comes cheap, again if you can get brembo brakes it will be a great option. Kawasaki zx4 is is 88000rnb it’s twice the money, do you know the price of zx4 in Philippines?
I really love that zx4rr but since I already have 5 kids I won't be able to buy one
@@SigmaMotorsiklo one man) that’s what I call an achievement in life. Good job, then kove is your option
Hope can try this bike
The view when you’re sitting on it reminds me of the triumph daytona 675r which is pretty cool cause the daytona is small and nimble as well
Unfortunately I’ve never ridden Daytona 675r, but Kove 450rr is indeed small and nimble, if I would have a chance to compare it with Daytona I’ll do it
I own a Kove already the street bike i love it
It’s a very good motorcycle indeed 🤜🤛
How much you buy bro
Nice bike i want this bike..
Yeah it’s a decent machine, I wanna ride Kawasaki ZX4 to compare though)
Wow. Its a 4 CYLINDER. 450CC. Nice.
Indeed! More 4cylinder small cc bikes are coming soon
It's called "autoblip" when you downshift, then quickshift when upshifting.
Thanks, every day learn something new✊Appreciate it 🤝
nice review, is there any possibility they sell it for asia market?
Thanks, I think they will sell for sure, but it might take some time, I’ve been told if I order the bike now, I need to wait for two months here in China, maybe after they indulge Chinese market they start exporting 450rr around Asia and eventually the rest of the world
Love from 🇮🇳
Thank you man, shout out to India 🇮🇳🤜🤛
I seen many people's videos but something good at explaining things ...
Try to do my best) btw if there is a bike you’re interested in you can tell me, maybe I can get a hold of it
What do you think about it compared to cfmoto 450sr-s ??
It feels faster, gives you abs options which I love, but brakes feel a bit worse. It sounds incredible! Better then 270 crank on CFmoto, 0-100 acceleration is very close, reliability is on CFmoto side I think
Will this bike be sold in the US? I hope so. It would be a great budget-friendly competitor to the zx4rr.
I think it will, they are openly saying that Kove is looking for distributors worldwide, it’s a matter of time, and price, if they manage to keep the price low, I think people will buy them over more expensive bikes in the US, it will be a great bike for a track
how was the suspension? are there any aftermarket solutions in china?
Well the suspension is fully adjustable, I felt as if it was quite rigid, and I had a lot of control over this bike, in
Corners it didn’t feel as good as ZX4rr though, but I’m not sure whether it’s suspicious merit
Look at China in the future
8:21 what happened? Clutched in while on high rev? Missed gear? I think the engine didn't like that too much load
I think I was trying to up shift to 2 gear and miss shifted, was my first time riding it, didn’t get used to it
@@eddywave3315It happened to me too when I first started riding
how d u feel about the front bbrake man, some new rider brake too hard and maybe with wrong riding structure flip themselves over and one of which hit his eyeball out. become a topic in chinese moto community.
Yeah, I can see where it comes from, the brakes ain’t so good, they don’t stop it as well as I thought, and if you grab the front brake lever hard, on slower speed the ABS isn’t going to work well you can do a nice front flip, it was in my mind all the time, definitely the worse part of the bike
For a new bike you are riding it haaaaard!!!
I did ride it hard! But this was an unfortunate destiny/purpose of this “test ride” motorcycle! I don’t think I’m the only person who did that to this beautiful bike.
Now as I write about it I do feel bad and disgusted with the way I treated it😳 But we had some really good 15 minutes together nonetheless 😏
Для 190 см рост нормально будет смотреться?
I think yes, I’m 1.85 for the reference, but the bike does look small!
How tall are you? Great video!!
Appreciate it!!! I’m 1.85m or 6.1
Is this as small as the previous generation ktm rc390?
It feels even smaller, KTMs seat is higher, bu this makes it even more nimble
@@eddywave3315 im a lanky 5'11 and i like the size of the rc390.. i think i'll love the size of this one. Hope it gets sold here in the philippines so i dont have to break the bank for a zx25r
@@minovskyparticles1834 I think size would fit you perfectly, the only thing is that, if you want to have fun on it, you have to keep revs up high, it’s a good bike, but not the most optimal choice for a bustling city, if you have an access to a race track, it would be a great machine for it
@@eddywave3315 im a first time rider, i only know how to ride scooters, hopefully this would be a great learner bike.. thanks for your inputs!
@@minovskyparticles1834 you can try it out, it’s pretty smooth with acceleration, however still fast, it’s easy to handle, I would have gone with cfmoto sr/nk 450 or srs though , they are easier to ride in a city, the power delivery is perfect, engages straight from the bottom, make your own research test them out and buy what you prefer, hit me up once you have your bike 🤝
Do you think this is better than cf motor 450r?
I don’t think it’s better, but it’s faster, and sounds better, but reliability wise I think CFmoto is a better choice, and it’s cheaper, but I think we need to wait for SR500 from CFmoto to compare
@eddywave3315 thank you. Ill wait for your review then
Pls make a comparison between kove 450 vs QJ mitor 600 rr
These are different bikes, 70kg weight difference! You can check my other review on Kove 450rr I measured acceleration there and compared it to Kawasaki Zx4rr. I want to make another review of 600rr though, coz I didn’t measure acceleration
It's a brand new bike. The pads havent bedded in.
Might be, but I rode many new bikes, and this feels a bit different. I will make another review soon, where I’ll measure acceleration and compare it to ZX 4. Will see how brakes feel
is the speedo in km or mph?
Unfortunately Km/h)
How i can import that bike to Perú?
Hi, I don’t know, I’ll try to check for you, but can’t guarantee I succeed, one more thing to mention is that you can preorder Kove 450rr, and you have to wait for 2-3 months, or at least that’s what the guy from dealership told me, so by now it’s a problem to get the bike even here
What is the top speed of that bike my brother he can beat the zx4rr?
It’s around 220 km/h. I think if you’re a good rider, acceleration of this Kove might be better, but in my case zx4rr was faster. BTW I have a video about these two, I measured acceleration and stuff, hope you like it 🤜🤛
@@eddywave3315 ok then i will buy zx4rr ok thanks my brother for your response to my comment section.
Can I ask how tall are you?
Sure) I’m 185 cm/6.1 plus my shoes🤏
how tall are you?
185+shoes =188, 6.1-6.2
@@eddywave3315 thanks 👍🙏 I am 189 cm
is this coming to europe__
I think/hope it should, but can’t be certain, need to find official sources to confirm, btw I’ll make another comparison video between 450rr and Kawa zx4rr, if there is any info about it in Europe I’ll let you know 🤜🤛
Thank you
@@adamprsut2333 🤜🤛
This bike, It is no naked model ?
Unfortunately there is no naked version of this bike, I hope to see more nakeds from Kove in future. To my knowledge there is only one naked so far from Kove and it’s Kove 321r, AKA Cobra
Bro, do you live in Qingdao?
Hey man, yes I do)
It's lovely to see these streets again. Ride safe man.@@eddywave3315
@@randyyang4253 will do) so as far as I understood you left Qingdao, is it correct?Maybe I can ride around some spots you like, hit me up then)
@@eddywave3315 My favorite route is "崂山路" to "崂山景区旅游专用路", the end is "垭口". This route has decent tarmac and twisted mountain road. I only do it at night, there has cops at daytime. But it's so worth it.
@@randyyang4253 I always ride from 五四广场 to 石老人 also at night, great place with nice twisty rode, will check the route you wrote about) stay safe 🤜🤛
budget Ducati nice though
Yeah, the front part is Ducati, but it give me a feel of Yamaha r6, less powerful though)
better if both have quickshift up/down like kawasaki.
@@doyong9197 yeah I agree, the guy who from the dealership told me it has a quick downshifter, I didn’t try it though, I had only 10-15 minutes with it, probably need to ride it again soon, to check it out more thoroughly
Will it launch in India?
Unfortunately I can’t say, do you have any Kove bike’s there now?
@@eddywave3315 no , by the way how can I import it in my country?
@@FactNight I have no idea, I think it’s possible, but must be quite expensive, I still hope it can come to India ✊
Doesn't look small and tiny to me. Looks like it's the same size as an 1100. Look at the huge rear tyre
Maybe I was bias, but to me the body of the motorcycle looks very small, like Yamaha r3, idk why, but I like it, next time I’ll try to put it next to something to compare
Where's The Location
Qingdao, China
Привіт Друже! Скажи мені будь ласка чи там у вас в Китаї катаються на мотоциклах бандой, чи там дуже суворі правила? Доречі на яких мотах їздять твої друзі? Я дивлюся по відио схоже що всі переважно пересуваються на засобах місцевого виробництва. 😅
Вітаю друже! Якщо банда не велика( до семи осіб) то проблем особливо немає, проте більшість людей їздять самі по собі, через затори на дорогах, великих груп я не бачив, проте думаю що проблемою це бути не повинно, поліція переважно займається мопедами та трехколісним транспортом, мало уваги звертають на мотоцикли, багато камер на дорогах проте мені за перевищення швидкості ще не прилетало.
Друзі їздять на китайський мотоциклах переважно, проте неймовірно багато людей досі купують Suzuki Gixxer 250( їх дуже багато) та Kawasaki ninja 400, це найпопулярніші закордонні моти, найпопулярніші Китайські бренди: qjmotor, cfmoto, benelli, kove, voge, benda, я зараз готую два нові відео про cfmoto 450srs, та benda 700, проте їх тут небагато)
I want this bike in India
Hope it will be available in India soon, please tell once it’s there 🤜🤛
Me 2 bro ❤
how tall are u btw, since the bike look really small
I’m 185 cm) the bike does look small, but it’s still fine)
@@eddywave3315 i mean idk if its me 188cm 93kg
Nice review and sexy bike❤, but it is not supposed to be tested on the narrow street. It will be harmful to you and others, especially the brake performance is not quite good🫣.
Yeah, I agree, but I wasn’t the one who chose the place) and from another perspective it might be more useful for some guys, coz this is where you ride 90% of time, given that this is mostly a buy for people who live in China, but I agree that I should have been more rational 🤝
Great Bike Its more Lightweight than ZX4R😊
Hard to disagree, I want to ride Kawasaki zx4 though, for reference, but taking the difference in price, Kove has no rivals
@@eddywave3315the 450rr and zx4rr almost have the same dimensions, i think its just 1inch difference but it will be a good comparison
@@chillglobe I think in few weeks it will be done)
@@eddywave3315 cool, i'll wait for this
This looks like such a good package, but I wonder how reliable the engine is gonna be long term compared to the Japanese guys
I guess only time can tell, in few days I’ll release a review on my 2018 CFMOTO NK250, that bike is five years old, so it can be a nice reference for an older Chinese bike in terms of reliability.
Taking that Kove is a new brand (established in 2017) it’s to early to say how reliable the engine is going to be, by now the only complain I have about Kove is brakes)
The NKs are pretty good that I know for a fact, kove is relatively seems when you compare it to NK and CF moto@@eddywave3315
if the price is same level with kawasaki the don't bother 😂😂😂😂😂
I checked, in China Kove 450 rr is 38-44k rnb after taxes, 5200$-6000$ Kawasaki zx 4 is 90krnb +-which is 12000$+ so in China the choice is obvious, still I think no one is going to argue that Kawasaki is a better motorcycle, so it’s a matter of pricing abroad
It s supposed to cost around 5000$ if so this is really attractive
If it cost more than 6500$ i would consider the kawasaki better option even if the price is harsh
@@kawabungatortueninja yes indeed, hard to disagree, I want to check on zx4 some time later, just to compare but taking the difference in price in China Kove 450rr is a very good deal)
@@kawabungatortueninjazx4r足够买两台450rr了
@@eddywave3315I think after they add the freight fee it'll probably be at least $7000+ . Are kove bikes considered reliable in China?
How to import this bike to my country 🗿
I dont know how it’s done, which country are you from?
why it look so small. everything is perfect but why cant chinese bikes can't be more larger :(
It looks as big as Yamaha r3, I think it’s a great size for a track, it isn’t made for the streets, the only problem is, that almost everyone who buys these just cruising around the city)
Please take extremely care here on the road in China lad Dizi, people are not abiding by the traffic rules like they are in the US or even in Thailand. The version you rode is 35,000 RMB, and the ultra version is about 40,000 RMB. ❤
Yes I agree, riding here is dangerous and you have to relearn specifically for these conditions, I rode a road bicycle here for two years and it’s even scarier, many times was I in a very stressful situations, I take this risk though, otherwise life seems boring) I try to be vigilant. Appreciate your advice, thank you🤝
BTW in Qingdao you have to wait for 2 months for Kove 450rr after preorder, there is a high demand for those)
@@eddywave3315good for you dude, Qingdao is a famous coastal place in China, not a hustle and bustle metropolitan like Shanghai but some of the living costs there are also exorbitant. The Kove 450rr is a blockbuster they’ve been baked long, it exhilarated many bike fanatics and made them proud of this game changer, the gimmick of it is the first domestic 4-cylinder bike that can reach 16000 rpm. Two months is just so so if compares with some shopping-rush bike like the Forza 350 which can make you wait for 8 months in 2021. Keep the great work, glad to see more videos 😊
@@evasionaficionado8729 the benchmark for me is the fact that almost no one is selling those, btw I wanna ride zx4, and see which one I like more, and I’m looking forward to ride Kove 450rr again to mesure 0-60 acceleration, so far the fastest bike on my channel is the new QJMOTOR 800rr 3.7 with my set of skills) wonder if I could crack 4 sec time with Kove)
@@eddywave3315 You didn't follow traffic rules neither when you are calling it dangerous, did you? At least I don't remember street speed being 90 or more. It is pretty irresponsible to ride so aggresively on busy streets even on a new bike for the first time. You don't mind taking the risk of your safety, but how about others? I am totally with the government for banning motorcycles if people ride like this. Find a quiet street at least.
BTW, ABS works better if sswitched to performance mode or totally off. They have made some updates to ABS too. Confirmed by many reviews already.
@@rocketscienc yes, all the other people around ride safely here, it’s just me who does that) forgot that we live in a perfect world, btw when I rode bicycle here it was way more dangerous ( for me for sure) I don’t ride like that most of the time, but anyway took your criticism to thorough consideration!✊ Thanks
Many Chinese people have very limited experience with cars even today especially in less developed area, not to mention fast cars or fast bikes. Large portion of cars in China are fairly slow, like 1.6L NA AT cars that makes 0-100 more than 10s. Aggressive riding like this on street will make it very difficult for others to judge your speed and distance, which could result in "wrong" reactions, making the chaotic situation even worse, not just for you but everyone invovled. Please ride sensibly. If you want ride fast, go to the tracks, or at least find a quiet place, not just for your own safety. To be honest, I don't care about safety of irresponsive rides like you at all, I care about others involved.
Agree, send me a location of the race track in Qingdao please, it would be nice to try out. Nice to see people who care about others, wish more people could be like you 👍
2008 Yamaha R1 + R6 + ducati Panigale + chinese roots = crap
I thought the same way before I rode, after, I changed my mind, but the reliability might actually be an issue (you can check the new review of it on my channel)🤜🤛
