Here is an interesting Chinese clone of the BMW 900, built by Locin (spelling?) the manufacturer of BMW vertical twin engines. They really threw the kitchen sink at this bike. It has every factory-installed accessory that you can think of, including a full set of adventure-style luggage for an MSRP of around 10K British Pounds. About $13,000 USD. There is no information if VOGE will be marketing the bike in the U.S. And if they do, you have to ask yourself what the parts and servicing situation will be. No riding review yet, but a full walk-around and a run down of all of the specifications and features are in this video:

Those are good points, Ross. It is always better to wait and see what happens when dealing with Chinese products.

A BMW dealer sent me an email yesterday advertising a 2024 BMW F900GS "demo" for sale at just under $17K USD and it didn't have anywhere near the factory gadgets that come standard on the VOGE 900. I bet that if BMW was selling a package with all of those factory-installed accessories and electronic devices they would increase the price by $5K.

The reviewer seemed to want to compare the VOGE with the BMW F750GS, which I guess is also a 900cc model, in the time-honored BMW tradition of confusing their customers. But frankly, I am not all that familiar with the specifications of the latest BMW 900cc-class models, their specifications and options. I am a little more familiar with the R12-1300 series and their options and the VOGE seems to have even their fully-optioned models beat in some respects when it come to electronic features and gadgets.
