The Kove 450 Rally dual sport motorcycle is grabbing attention as a possible unicorn - do it all - motorbike. Is it? Let's try it out on a test ride!
I'm in the market for a BDR bike (Backcountry Discovery Route), a motorcycle capable of getting me into and out of difficult dirt mountain roads where gas stations are sparse and far between and reliable, capable transport is the key factor.
The Kove 450 Rally is a great motorcycle. People have been calling for a 450 Rally and Kove has answered the call.
Large fuel tank (30 litres) - check
Suitable off-road power - check
Capable suspension - check
Build quality - looks good
Reliability - time will tell
This is probably as close to a unicorn bike as is possible. I'm very excited about this bike. Please note, I'm completely independent and not receiving anything from Kove. I'm simply a fan taking a test ride and reporting on it.
