Bit like the new BSA Goldstar
An honest review by Sean
Re the depreciation bit. It would be interesting to tot up the 'cost to own' over (say) three years? I'm not saying that I know the answer, I don't. I would simply be interested to see the figures re initial cost minus depreciation equals cost to own over three years.
Just interested.

Don’t worry
You’ll get that with a F900GS
Any bike in this current market.
Not for a long time have future values been so shaky.
Huge depreciation as a percentage of its new value or as a chunk of money ?
As an example...£7500 loss in 5 yrs is the same total for each bike...but it'd 'only' be c 50% on a specced F900GS versus 83% of the Voge...so someone tells you it'll lose 80% of its value over 5 yrs and it sounds dire..but may not be. Time will tell

I’ve ordered the Voge as it looks just as good and I’d rather not pay £5k extra to be ripped off by BMW for a poorer equipped bike .
But yours is an 850 copy which loooks crap.
And your vanity cost you £7k . Enjoy your Chinese GS . Muppet
If you keep both bikes (GS and Voge) for 4 years and have to give the Voge away for free I bet there’s not much in it still. Now it comes down to which is the better bike if you can afford the initial outlay
But why would you have to give the Voge away for free ? I know this is the bastion of blinkered GS fanboy worship but surely some can see that they are being ripped off by the likes of BMW .
The Voge has a very similar engine to the 850/900 GS, slightly detuned for A2 compliance but still 95bhp.
The same wheels, brakes, suspension, and frame .
So BMW have their bike made in China, stick on their own plastics and seat and double the price .
And the blinkered muppets go PCPing with eyes wide shut . Bless
In your opinion.
That’s not the point I’m making. Giving the Voge away for free is a worst case scenario and even then it’s financially close.
I have a 2023 GSA but I’m buying a Kove to see if these new bikes are the way forward.
If we all keep buying the Panzers the list price will just keep going North and the quality will suffer.
