Voge, a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer under Loncin, has recently been ramping up its initiatives of developing a stronger market-presence in Europe and Asia. It made its entrance in the scene back in 2019 with the launch of the 500R, a sporty naked bike with styling that matched that of Japanese and European entry-level, mid-bore machines. After that, the brand began dabbling into the adventure segment with the Valico.
Voge’s most popular models are equipped with a 471cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine. Those of you who are familiar with the brand would know that the engine is basically a reverse-engineered version of Honda’s 471cc parallel-twin found in the CB500 model range. Naturally, Voge’s bikes are popular among riders on a budget, as they significantly undercut the prices of their Japanese and European counterparts, while, on paper, at least, offering performance and features which are at par, if not even better.
