QJMotor SRK 800 Review | Chinese four-cylinder screamer!

Fresh from riding the new Triumph Trident 800 and ahead of trying out the newly uprated Trident 660 I wanted to try another option in the middleweight sporty naked class, and one with an engine that might just offer an alternative to the Triumph triple. Enter the QJMotor SRK800 with its 778cc in-line four screamer, quality suspension and brakes and a price undercutting its major rivals by a grand or more. Enough to make you go Chinese? Chapters 0:00 – Intro: in-line fours are still a thing! 1:14 – QJMotor SRK800 stats and features 2:40 – Onboard: QJMotor versus rivals 4:17 – Onboard: riding position and handling 5:11 – Onboard: engine and performance 6:54 – Onboard: Trident comparisons 7:42 – Onboard: suspension and ride 9:18 – Verdict: pick of the middleweight nakeds?

Voge DS625X versus Himalayan 450 review | Budget bike battle!

You’ll have seen me riding various Voge models on the channel but I was especially interested to try this DS625X for the fact on price it pretty much matches the Royal Enfield Himalayan I’ve been running the last few months. So, I wanted to figure out where my £6,000 might go if I were in the market for a bike like this. Join me for a ride to find out. A windy one, for the first bit of onboard I confess. If that’s too annoying skip to the second chapter where I’m on (literally) quieter roads and you’ll be able to hear what I’m saying! 0:00 – Intro 1:16 – Voge DS625X price and spec 2:42 – (Windy) onboard riding impressions: riding position and suspension 6:01 – (Less windy) Onboard riding impressions: engine and performance 11:40 - Verdict: which £6K adventure bike would YOU be buying?

2025 Voge DS800X Rally review | Wait, THIS is Britain’s best-selling bike?!

Yup, it’s another cheap Chinese adventure bike. But the Voge DS800X looks a little spicier than most and a credible alternative to a Yamaha Ténéré, Honda Transalp or KTM 790 Adventure while undercutting them all to the tune of thousands.

Voge DS900X/900DSX vs CF Moto 800MT | Bargain Chinese adventure bike showdown

Time for another update on life with the Voge DS900X/900DSX and a chance to follow up on some of the maintenance tasks mentioned last time, including adjusting the headlight, tensioning the chain and installing the 4.7 firmware update. Confession? I had all this done at a dealership, for reasons I’ll expand on in the video. While I was there I also got opportunity to ride the CF Moto 800MT, which as another bargain Chinese adventure bike built with an engine shared with mainstream European brands is obviously an interesting comparison.
