Carole Nash Inside Bikes test the New Middlleweight Adventure bike from Voge
Check out the latest video from Carole Nash insidebikes...
Chinese manufacturer VOGE is making waves in the UK this year.
We've already been impressed with the well priced by their DS900X and R125 when we've reviewed them, and the DS625X hopes to build on that success. It’s an update on the existing DS525X (which in turn was derived from Honda’s CB500X parallel twin) with more cc, more power and more spec.
The result is good looking, well-built and decently equipped. It has much of the appeal of a larger adventure bike but in a middleweight package. Its closest conventional rivals are bikes like Suzuki’s aging V-Strom 650 but the Voge blows them away in the terms of spec, style and value. At launch, it costs just over £6000 on the road, but is it cheap and cheerful? or cheap and nasty?
