Interesting overview and good commentary. Thanks for posting.
There's a definite benefit in a manufacturer having access 'locally sourced' supply chains and innovation - plus a domestic/near-region 'total available market' of motorcyclists in the tens of millions, across their model range.

Like the 900, the 800 Rally certainly looks the part.
I'm guessing a price point C. £8k OTR - not cheap, but relatively affordable.
Residuals will be interesting to watch, as other manufacturers have tended to use this to justify their high pricing model, particularly when encouraging dealers to cajole buyers with an extortionate options list. The Voge high original spec, along with Uncle Wang's farkles, seem to be re-writing the sales manual.

Loads of extra kit and power and £3400 cheaper than a Tenere. It probably weighs about the same as a tenere with a centre stand and crash bars (which it has as standard) impressive. If they can get parts and aftersales right the Japanese will be in trouble.
T7 is 207kgs wet. So the 800 is sitting between it and the 900GS at 217kgs wet.
Drop the unnecessary metal and suddenly it’s lighter than the T7 for less money.
A road only version with sticky tyres, alloy wheels, comfortable seat and a luggage kit would be a rather nice option. Lighter than the 900 and more power than the 625, it could be the Goldilocks bike.
This looks like a road bike from Voge. Any good?
No good for me. Has to be upright, adventure style. I don't doubt that's a lot of fun but I'd never get my feet up on the pegs.
