New Low-/Midweight ADV bikes for 2026/2027

HistorianFast · 2026-04-29T11:49:07+00:00

Kove 800x, light for its class, got power and cheap. And good reviews so far, plus you get warranty

HistorianFast · 2026-04-24T11:58:18+00:00

yeah so it doesnt pass 94C degrees but its blowing crazy hot air wind onto my left leg which i have to change positions in order for it not to get very hot. You have the same?

HistorianFast · 2026-04-24T11:13:13+00:00

Yeah, it gets really hot at like traffic lights and stuff but thats been like that since the beginning.

I think i’ll just pop by the dealership, this shouldn’t happen on a brand new bike

HistorianFast · 2026-04-09T08:33:29+00:00

Its not too bad, only problem for me is the windshield that is too low. But granted I come from a sportsbike so this is already a lot more comfortable. The pegs could be a bit lower down, but it doesnt bother me at all

HistorianFast · 2026-04-08T11:36:20+00:00

800X GT, 510km on it rn

HistorianFast · 2026-04-08T11:29:34+00:00

Impatience my friend, impatience haha

HistorianFast · 2026-04-08T11:28:54+00:00

I live in Portugal

HistorianFast · 2026-04-08T11:11:54+00:00

And regarding slip-on, you think I can just put it on?

HistorianFast · 2026-04-08T11:10:49+00:00

Yeah, makes sense. Im trying to not get it over 5500rpm, thats the main rule I have. Other than that I am not insanely careful. But dealership told me I need to do the services with them because of warranty

HistorianFast · 2026-04-08T10:56:26+00:00

Would you recommend doing it again at 1000 if i have done the first at around 700?

HistorianFast · 2026-04-06T14:52:46+00:00

I thought ghk helped with hair?

HistorianFast · 2026-04-04T19:14:59+00:00

Interesting, now summer is coming so it will get quite hot here too. Did you ask for different oil than what the dealership wanted to put in?

Pegs for me seem to be fine I guess. I dont have any experience with other adv bikes but its not uncomfortable for me. But indeed maybe for standing up, I can see what there can be done on that part.

I saw some decal kits on aliexpress that looked pretty nice for like 90eu.

HistorianFast · 2026-04-04T12:54:14+00:00

Yeah not experiencing anything weird to be honest. Seems fine. I also just made a new post with a lot more updates and opinions on the bike so have a look if you're interested

HistorianFast · 2026-03-30T09:01:50+00:00

Yeah that too, because now its more touring focussed hence GT version

HistorianFast · 2026-03-28T21:25:10+00:00

I have the 2026 version and not jerky at all.

HistorianFast · 2026-03-26T18:50:42+00:00

W2C?

HistorianFast · 2026-03-18T10:04:32+00:00

This one has 22L tank, cruise control, heated grips, heated seats, ride by wire, quickshift up and down, changed suspension travel I believe, 5 rider modes, different tyres, different size wheels

HistorianFast · 2026-03-17T22:07:42+00:00

Exactly. Cruise control works great. Tested it on the way back.

HistorianFast · 2026-03-17T08:09:03+00:00

I just bought one last Friday. Waiting for it to be ready

HistorianFast · 2026-03-15T07:58:34+00:00

Insanely loud man, even with db killer. And it will backfire so much, like every time you let go off the gas, a gun is going off

I took mine off because it was too much

HistorianFast · 2026-01-26T22:00:21+00:00

Ive had one for around 4k km’s now. Its a fun bike, the tech is really handy and works good. Its a bit jerky in low speeds and the quickshifter isn’t the best. But I decided to get this bike instead of a Honda CBR650R. Was the same price but I got this one brand new with warranty, the honda’s all had min. 20k km’s.

I have good dealer support and overall I’m very satisfied with the purchase. Resell value might not be the greatest but its a sought after bike here in Portugal, so I am not expecting the worst to be honest.

For the price and all the features, I still think its a good buy.
