The correct way to mount crash bars is to the strongest part of the engine (not the casings)………or the frame! Lol
Didn’t they teach you anything at Redboots school?!

Kove 800 X

You chap been on my ignore list for some 2 maybe even 3 months.Errrr, the engine
You do come across as a blinkered weirdo, I hope you do not mind me saying it.
The comments that you make within this very thread, have elevated your status from being a weirdo, to being a bit of a tit. You shall remain to be on my ignore list.
I’ve seen CF Moto and Kove bikes in person at EICMA last year, and they every bit as good as German, Italian or Austrian counterparts. Difference between them and their prestigiously badged counterparts perhaps being, that their fasteners do not have KOVE or CFMoto stamped on them, like BMW do. Does it make a lesser quality motorcycle? No, just cheaper to produce, eliminating the extra process in the manufacturing chain of events.
KOVE finished Dakar race with all 3 bikes intact. That does say something, more than can be said for BMW, who’s bikes drop spokes in attempt to kill the rider who’s riding one of their finest creations, on a silky smooth motorway.
QUALITY!!!

Also don’t understand grown men behaving like 8 year old girls, but that’s a chat for another day?!
They’re tiny monochrome letters and I promise they don’t hurt unless of course, you are actually an eight year old girl??

Anyone on here actually bought a Kove 800X?
Except it’s not a Kove, and it’s not 800cc
RTQ=1/2FA
You use Harley in the same sentence as motorcycling and expect to be taken seriouslyI like over engineered motorcycles like Harleys etc. I think Chinese stuff uses cheap metal for the frames and extrusions. Accepted the electronics are similar though.
I’ll never buy any of that stuff. I want my remaining biking years to be astride quality. Closed minded - I know.

My Kove 800X is ready for collection
I have just received 2 Kove 800 X motorcycles and I have to say the build quality is superb.
The fit and finish of the bikes is as good as and the European bikes and the Japanese bikes.
One bike is for a customer and the other is our demo.
If anyone wants to try one for an our or two just call Motorrad Konnection 01904 404194 and we will book you in.
Cheers.

I’m no big fan of Chinese manufacturing,
I think that they are going to ring the death toll of manufacturing both here and in Europe.
That said,I don’t put kove in the same box as the rest of the Chinese manufacturers.
What I’ve seen of the bikes close up is good.
They’ve gone straight in at the deep end with competing in Dakar.
They may well buy in mass produced products but so does every other manufacturer

Ian at BRM in the video above sums up the Kove - “it feels like a much lighter Tenere with more power and proper suspension “
Can’t be true, it’s Chinese shite……I read it here
Have we had the financial depreciation comments on this thread yet??
I didn’t/couldn’t be bothered to start at the beginning and read all the way through.
If not…they’ll be worth nothing by the time the ink is dry on the order form…if not before!
