First Ride: Kove 450 Rally 4K

First Ride: Kove 450 Rally 4K This is my first ride video on my Kove 450 Rally. It's a road ride, on a bike with brand new tyres and brakes, so this isn't a performance test. It's also on road, so if you're hoping for Dakar-like shots or review, then the Dakar coverage is a better place to look! That aside, if you're interested in how the bike behaves on the road, under various different conditions, including at 50mph, 70mph, through towns and twisty country lanes with my thoughts on the brakes, gearbox, engine braking, screen, dash, suspension and more, then perhaps this might be interesting. It is rather long, for which I can only apologise. I did think what I could cut, but as it's a new bike, and this is the first customer production model, I left it all in. I have added chapters, so you can easily skip bits that are not of interest. Thanks again to James at Kove UK for sorting out my bike and getting it road registered and available for pickup in just a few days. There will be a much shorter follow up video for the trail section mentioned in this video.
