Hello again Mark , thanks for another great review. Just over two years ago you gave a good review on the Zontes ZT125 U1 , another Chinese bike , and I went out and bought one. Everthing you said about the bike proved to be true . In that time it hasn't missed a beat and been great for up to 120 mile day trips as well as local journeys . I dropped in to Poole Moto an hour after you returned this Voge to them and put in an order deposit . The big thing for me is the seat height , a big bike without the weight and height of many others. I'd also watched the review by usernamekate which was equally as complimentry. Delivery is April/May so I'll leave comment after receiving and testing. Keep up the good work Mark. Regards , Paul.
I rode one in late October. It was brand new and only had a few km on the clock so I can’t comment on the performance but I really enjoyed riding it. It’s very much the sort of bike that I prefer and with the level of equipment, quality and price it’s a real contender. However, I’m not ready to trade in my 500X just yet. If I want to enjoy a Voge I’ve got a 300 Rally in my shed too.
I purchased a Chinese machines to accompany my other bikes and so far no issues and build quality is also good, main issue is not enough dealers around.
Hi Mark, if possible in your night headlight assessments could you make some mention regarding suitable vision when cornering in tighter turns. So many bike lights are bright but rather poor when it comes to sharper turns with poor to no vision where it matters. Best wishes.
Yeah your spot on about the seat height Mark, most of the ADV bikes now require the rider to be at least 6 foot! Lovely looking bike, and what a bargain especially with the pannier system, I can't wait for the review!
@@Hinckley_Biker Hi thankyou...it is alot of work behind the scenes.....I love all bikes sports adv 125 etc etc ....at the moment I really like naked and adv .....I've got a speed triple 1050 rs and a multistrada 1200 at the moment which is perfect for me at the moment....but next year could be something completely different lol Best wishes
Thank you for the prompt reply Mark, you're obviously a fan of a sweet sounding engine!!!! 😂 I can't imagine how many hours you spend sitting at a desk editing your videos, especially with how many you upload, even in the depths of winter ☃️ it is appreciated Mark, you have a brilliant channel 👏
Hi mark what's the difference between the VOGE 500DSX that you reviewed 2 years ago has it changed that much, or should i put my money into a Benelli 702 or the CFMOTO 650GT.
Hi Robert this is a completely new bike and better for it ....the trk 702 is great...more power ...but vfm ...this voge is worth a look Best wishes mark
Hi Mark, Ray here. If you could, give us a sense for how the lights work at night, both, standard and auxiliar. Also, what's the service interval for oil, oil filter and, most importantly, valve check? Thanks for the video and look forward to the road test. Cheers, Ray.
Usual concerns, spares, dealer coverage, warranty. Even now you can’t go onto their website as it comes back with a ‘not secure’ warning. Not a good sign!
Out of interest I’m in Russia . Of course Chinese auto business is bi here. Just looked on line and Voge have a reasonable dealer network here and the price is the same as UK when converted , three year warranty Impressive
Still watching the review but Chinese bikes usually 3000 mile service intervals which is a deal- breaker. I did 20K miles one year and at least 12K every year.
Thanks this is 6k km about 4k miles on thee .my dealer in Poole charges about £150 for a service I see your point ....or just diy oil change etc once out of warranty Best wishes mark
@@davidmatthews3093 Only the voge 525 ds.They fear that sales figures are not high enough in Germany.😞😰Now maybe I get one from our neighbour countries...

That's an incredible deal 👏 Considering LONCIN supply engine parts and complete bike engines for BMW, for which you pay a massive badge premium, I'm sure it'll be very good 👍.
5000km so far with this bike. Great handling. Top speed 188km on speedometer.
hey man, are there any vibrations from the engine, and what do you get for avg consumption? Thanks!
@@TheDraskic Not many vibrations. Average 4.2.The bike is very good on the highway and stable even at top speed
how about suspension in speed hump and pothole? thx!
It seems like a pillion seat suits shorter people more and will be uncomfortable for tall people. Am I right?
Looks great especially the gold wheels looks like a lot of bike for the money a good walk around cheers Mark
Nicely equipped! Look forward to hearing what you think 👍
Thanks ....it's very good so far 😁
Great review, thanks Mark 😊
Looks very nice.. lots of extras to and great price.. look forward to the ride review Mark 😊 Pete
Thanks Pete 😄

Great looking bike mark.looking forward to the full review.
Thanks James .... should be a week or so:)
Lovely looking bike for its price...Looking forward to seeing full review Mark 🙂

Thanks Stephen....out making the review today ....it's dry 😁 lol 😆

Great looking bike.
Lovely looking bike and well priced main negative for me being the reflective dash it’s like a mirror.
They fixed the problem.
Looks like some of the competitors.. great colours, a great choice your the smaller purse 👜 x
Thanks Martine x
I think you do very honest none biased reviews.
Have they improved on the service intervals.
I'll double check but they are the same as the ac525x which is 4k miles here in the UK
Cheers mark
Looks Great Bike Mark!
Thanks Jeff rides so well 😀
I love this bike❤
Very interesting bike. Got a feeling the fairing designer is a Transformers fan. The centre stand is big plus.

Hi Tim yes I will definitely be doing a night riding section....video will be done this week

Thanks I've ridden it 50 miles already and can say first impressions are very good ....look out honda :)
I do envy you getting to ride all these different bikes, what would be your bike of choice Mark? Or do you already own it?

@@Hinckley_Biker many thanks you are a regular....what's your name?
Best wishes
Great preview Mark. May I know if the back rider seat is nice & comfortable too? Thanks
Hi yes I took a passenger for an hour and they loved it 😄
Best wishes
This looks very nice. I'd be tempted if they did a non A2 restricted version.
Why? In my experience A2 bikes have all the performance I need on the road. Try one, you might be surprised.

Did press on the like. but i think i wait with a comment 😛
Interesting bike, good value for money.. Better the Benelli trk502x?
Yes I actually prefer it ...it's lighter and rides superbly
Best wishes mark

Thanks Ray yes all those things will be in the review cheers mark
A lot of bike for the money. Ride review will be interesting.
Have you heard when the Kove 800 will be released
No sorry but the 900 voge adv is incoming:)
Looks designed to do a job and should make a great value lightish weight tourer for those looking for value for money and a long term ride
Thanks Andy ....the engine is smooth and punchy and very comfortable
Should sell very well
Cheers mark
Is Cruise Control an option? Great looking bike
Thanks....no unfortunately not ... cheers mark
@@markpulling12 I guess for that price I shouldn’t complain 🤣 Be good if it comes with the camera. I always fit to my bikes.
Whats it like cruising? And what have you been quoted for service intervals?
Hi cruising is effortless at 70 mph
Service is cheap and 3000 mile intervals
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 I've had 3 different intervals quoted, 3k 4k and 6k 🤦🏻♂️
Miles that is.
Tubeless not tubes. This is a super plus compared with other bikes.
Usual concerns, spares, dealer coverage, warranty. Even now you can’t go onto their website as it comes back with a ‘not secure’ warning. Not a good sign!
Are the wheels tubed or tubeless? 🤔
I'm sure they are tubed on this ...
Best wishes mark
there is a dashcam? thx
There is supposed to be a camera but this model didn't have one ?
Maybe the future models will come with the camera
Best wishes mark
Out of interest I’m in Russia . Of course Chinese auto business is bi here. Just looked on line and Voge have a reasonable dealer network here and the price is the same as UK when converted , three year warranty Impressive
Got to admit. You get a lot of bike for your money!
Difficult to not find this bike appealing. Especially at the price...
Pretty heavy though for the cc and power available
@@RawTopShotFor what it will be used for the weight is not a problem. It’s not or ending to be a lightweight enduro.
Still watching the review but Chinese bikes usually 3000 mile service intervals which is a deal- breaker. I did 20K miles one year and at least 12K every year.
Thanks this is 6k km about 4k miles on thee .my dealer in Poole charges about £150 for a service
I see your point ....or just diy oil change etc once out of warranty
Best wishes mark
Are you obsessed with the right hand side of this bike? Why not show us the rest of the bike on the other side as well?
Thanks for the vid M but it's ugly 😢
Looks like they've been influenced by the GS!
When are we likely to see them in the showrooms
Hi Darren....Moto GB told me first week in may ....I did mention that in the video
Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 many thanks , too many years on bikes without ear plugs , hard of hearing . Must of missed that bit . Good video though .
You seem to get a lot for the money. Nick
Yes thanks nick ..... probably one of the best value in this class
Cheers mark
It is a shame,the525 will never be offered in Germany 😢
No Voges in Germany? Why not?
@@davidmatthews3093 Only the voge 525 ds.They fear that sales figures are not high enough in Germany.😞😰Now maybe I get one from our neighbour countries...
Lotta bike 4 the money, good looker as well. These Chinese bikes are coming on like the Japanese did in the 70`s. 🏍️👍
Thanks ....I think at this rate the big jap 4 makes will be in the minority soon
Cheers mark
Hi Mark, £5499 +OTR £700 =£6199
Hi bill ....otr in the UK is approximately £150 .....no dealer would charge £700 ????
Cheers mark
£6199 would get you the panniers aswell
This is MOTOGB website OTR £700
USERNAMEKATE has borrowed one from a MOTOGB dealership and test rode it on her TH-cam channel and it's £6199 without boxes otr.
@@billyaddery7266 hi here is the link
www.motogb.co.uk/model/2024-voge-ds-525x-1551
Currently 5499 no panniers plus otr
5999 with panniers plus otr
Maybe she's got the pricing slightly wrong ?
Have a look at the website now and you'll see
Best wishes mark
Hi Mark, please click the OTR and it clearly states £700 making it £6199.
Tubed tyres😕
Tubeless rims. We have it in morocco
They should called it 'Vague', nobody really knows anything about the brand.😂
Agree, but you have to start somewhere. People were saying the same about the first Japanese bikes😂
But they know an awful lot about the manufacturer.
That's an incredible deal 👏
Considering LONCIN supply engine parts and complete bike engines for BMW, for which you pay a massive badge premium, I'm sure it'll be very good 👍.
Hi Mark I don’t like it’s beak!
Lovely looking bike for its price...Looking forward to seeing full review Mark 🙂
Thanks yes ....rides really nicely...
