Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Kove has been working hard to get its models to market, especially in Europe. This comes just a few months after the brand made its global debut at EICMA 2022. Since then, the brand has competed in and completed the Dakar Rally with respectable standing, with hopes of joining the World SSP300 in 2023.
Apart from its racing initiatives, Kove has also begun rolling out its road-oriented motorcycles. One model in particular is catered to beginner riders, and looks to go head-to-head with the crop of 125cc naked bikes in Europe. It’s called the Cobra 125 R, and it’s pretty clear to see where it gets its design inspirations from. At first glance, it’s obvious that Kove has borrowed a few styling elements from the KTM Duke—the trellis frame, angular bodywork, and supermoto-esque proportions all scream Ready to Race.
