Kove 800 X

Ian at BRM in the video above sums up the Kove - “it feels like a much lighter Tenere with more power and proper suspension “
Listen to every thing that comes after that.

The last 8 minutes tell a different story

Yeah, but this is UKGSER and it’s important to paint things out of context so that the esteemed reader gets the wrong idea.
 
I had one of these, did 73 miles in a week, sold it and lost £7 Billion quid.

Chinese Shite. 🥱

I have had my running in service done and so far all good.
Just need to fit the three boxes of Uncle Wangs tat when I have a spare day
 
Looks tempting at £8.5k but then again you could for example get a 2023 700 Tenere with only 800 miles on the clock for the same money :unsure:


or for £500 more a brand spanking Aprilia Tuareg




Give it another year or so to hopefully prove how reliable these bikes are and what the dealer back up is really like and they will be very very tempting (y)

I posted somewhere before the fuelling can be sorted with a £100 remap and the suspension issue was a one off.
Think his report is off as the T7 is 205kg which makes a 29kg difference and some other bits aren’t accurate.
I spent my money on a Kove 800X and would recomend them to anyone. Bang for your buck it represents good value for money and I lost a lot less percentage wise than I did on my R1250GSA.
 
Anyone interested in the Kove 800 should take a look at Gary’s journey. Lad from Cork has a YouTube channel and is travelling South America. He hasn’t posted in a while, hopefully he’s ok……at the start of the trip he talks through is reasoning for going with the Kove…

Great inspirational video.
That bike looks fab. Pity that they have just put the 2026 model up by a thousand pounds.
Now £9500. Albeit now with a few more electrical rider aids, ride by wire and cruise control etc.
 
There is a 1955 Ariel we can assume all British except for the battery and fluids, a 1977 T140 silver jubilee all British I would be quite happy to sell them for a spanking Kove or CF Moto, no Zenophobia here
 
I have never heard of anybody being phobic of Zen
 
have you seen the Voge 900? Uses the same engine as the F900 and comes with luggage for £9k. If you add all the extras to the F900GS to get to the same level of toys, it comes to nearly £16k.
i took one out yesterday (video soon) I thought for the money it was excellent

The engine in it is exactly the the same as the f900 out of the same factory

i was surprised how well it rode
 
He’s bang on as usual.

Fundamental difference between Jap bikes hammering euro ones……and Chinese….

Jap - Your bikes are crap, we’re gonna build better ones.

China - Your bikes are expensive, we’re gonna build cheaper ones, (but still make them good)
