Anyone here bought one?

I was at a Royal Enfield dealer yesterday for a general look around and they had one in.
Never heard of them before but the salesman says they are basically a F850/900GS copy but made by the same company who make the engines for BMW.

The bike appeared well made and fully loaded with tech and luggage came in at just over £9k

Checked YouTube and the reviews look good albeit reviewers as opposed to real owners

My main concern about all these newer companies is dealer network and back up but certainly a company to watch

Forgot to take a pic but here's a google pic

I had agood look at the 500 version earlier in the year. Nice but far too small for a gangly bugger like me, but it would be good the short of leg. The salesman said the 900 is built to the same dimensions.

Voge among other brands are imported by MotoGB who are a big business these days. The family also own 13 or 14 retail dealers.

Who wouldn't want to ride a Benda ?

Daft name aside that Benda LFC700 looks fantastic. It's not my style of bike but it's nice to see something that looks really different.

I thought you meant that black v-twin, of which I think just about every manufacterer makes some version it seems.... But the LFC700 is actually this:



inline four cylinder engine, 240 rear tyre, Brembo brakes. Crazy. It's like a modern day Kawasaki ZL1000!

I was looking round my neighbours Voge DSX900 at the weekend. He picked it up on the Wednesday and done a hundred miles or so on it and was pleased with the bike and quality so far. He traded in a KTM for it and is a serial bike changer. There is a local dealer selling all the bikes they can get in.
It looked solid and decent quality.

I sat on one at the MCL show yesterday.

It looks fine and solid BUT the thing you see first when you jump on the bike and every time you ride it…the top clamp of the triple tree has a cast finish that reminds me of a set of cheap spanners.

No matter how cheap it was I couldn’t look at that everyday.

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be a fine bike, until it goes wrong. New manufacturers always seem to struggle with parts supply. If the parts are readily available then there's no reason that this shouldn't make a good bike with less of a hit to the wallet than more premium brands.

I recently spoke to a mechanic who works in a multi franchise dealer and have been selling Voge for a while.

His comments

Owners love them

No major issues so far and Voge very good on warranty claims and parts availability

Generally reliable so far

Fixtures and fittings not as high quality as more established brands and show signs of corrosion if not looked after

I like the idea of these and had a sit on one recently but I'd be worried about what it would be worth in 3 years time with 30k on the clock. I doubt very much..

This one seems to have shat itself. The guy explains the dealer network in the UK don't have a clue what's gone wrong with it but it did lose 3k off the odo in the process.
