Expand People who buy them race them. It’s a 70hp 450cc that lasts two Dakars before a rebuild, all that suspension, and probably assembled by hand in low numbers. It’s not difficult to see where the money goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Looks like a proper bike, assuming the engine proves reliable it should be great. I'm curious as to the cost in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I had a sit on an AJP once. Wanted to like it but it just felt like something I’d be begging to climb down of after an hour. surely in the real world they must be similar? This Kove does look to be a lot better made though, and more braap? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I have the Rally rather than the CRF250L is that you get that bit of protection for road journeys (I've been to France twice on it) and that makes it a lot more comfortable than the 'L' on a long journey. I personally think they will sell loads of them if the reliabilty and spares back up is as good as KTM and all it's clones . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Interesting you say that. My Honda is built in Thailand and I have just received (this morning) a sumpguard and air filter from Thailand , genuine Honda parts exactly the same as you would buy from any dealer in UK. Admittedly they took 12 days to get here and the shipping was £25.42 but here's the rub............. The sumpguard cost £16.04 and the air filter was £7.28, now I'll give you the prices for exactly the same parts with Honda part numbers from any Honda UK dealer, £107.74 and £26.74 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
