Voge DS900X

I can understand the squabbling here if you were comparing a hand built Aston Martin with a Chinese MG.
Fact is,most of the bmw is built in the same factories.
2nd fact is,your paying a premium for a badge that may,or may not be better VFM over time.
It’s allegedly got premium after sales service at the moment,that won’t continue once the warranty runs out.
If the bmw was a superior quality product,I’d get it,but I doubt it’s any better than the Chinese bike in most respects.
The customers have been beta testers for the brand since mid 2000’s,and have been paying handsomely for the privilege.😆

I think it’s an image issue due to the insecurity of the average vain British biker .
Been mentioned before , but in the UK large scoots are denounced as being a bit beneath a real biker whereas they are embraced on the continent .
Same as many here need the latest and biggest Wankpanzer, festoon it with 30000 lumens of LEDs and 80 litres of Touracúnt ally boxes so they fit in with their mates for that 20 mile Sunday ride .
Vainglorious wankfestering bollocks is what it is .
Another reason that I don’t ride in the UK anymore unless needs must . Tossers is very apt 🤡

I think youre wrong.
 
But that’s always been the case with any bike.
You can’t really compare new with used as the used buy will always seem better, but you have to factor in warranty etc .

All I know is times are changing .
I can see major manufacturers such as KTM not being here in a couple of years , or at least having to undergo radical restructuring to survive .

I’ve probably owned more new KTMs in the last 25 years than anybody else on here but I can assure you I’ve bought my last .

I can also safely say that there’s an extremely high chance that my next bike will be made in China.
Prophetic.........
 
Certainly needs some work done on those eyes :rolleyes:, no wonder he thinks those wanktuktuk's look great
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder .

I know what I prefer but we is all different .

You could have a Voge in each of the three colours for the same price as one GSA.

The New GSA is horrible to look at but the Voge is just bland. The Voge wouldn't stir my soul clapping eyes on it when I open the garage door :wapping

Nor me, but it can take me anywhere , straight out of the box .

I’ve got this to stir the soul when it needs a stir

A lot of people won’t like the look of the Voge…once they’ve spotted the badge.

Swap that for a BMW roundel/Honda Wing etc and the acceptance of its looks will rise.

Fixed.

Vanity before sanity, as was ever thus is this jaded country.
Why do so many need to be accepted and fit in ?
Go to Europe and all bikers wave , apart from a few , usually Brits, and most likely riding a GS.
When I had my Road King Special, it was based in Uk during Covid . Nobody waved apart from other HD riders .
Ring the bike in France , all the locals wave , whatever they’re riding . Only non wavers usually turn out to be Brits again.
Spot them a mile off, on matching bikes quite often, as they all have to ride the latest Wankpanzer or similar.
It really is bizarre.

Rubbish, most of the BMW range is also bland to look at and as for Honda that NT1100 couldn't be more horrible looking if they tried
