VOGE, the premium brand of the Loncin group, reinforces its presence in the 125cc sport naked segment with the launch of another model, the VOGE 125R. Designed to tackle the pace of big cities, this machine not only impresses with the dynamic performance it offers, but also with its value.
Although not the most visually appealing naked, it has some interesting details. In the front headlight (which reminds us a bit of a Japanese brand’s optics), we find two LED lines on the top, which serve as daytime running lights. This detail, nicknamed by the brand itself as “eyebrows,” adds a very interesting touch. In addition to a very stripped-down engine, typical of a sport naked, we find a very short exhaust outlet. At the rear is where the 125R stands out the most (in a positive way) with special emphasis on the beautiful optical signature of the rear light.
POWERFUL ENGINE
DYNAMICALLY
Just a few turns at the controls of this Chinese machine and we realize that performance is not all that the Voge 125R has to offer. In terms of handling, this motorcycle has an inverted front fork suspension and a monoshock in the rear section. The 125R offers stable and precise handling, allowing riders to master each curve with confidence and control. Although its natural habitat is the city, the suspension has a slightly sporty touch, and what we lose in comfort is compensated in safety and firmness when attacking a more winding road. The digital instrument panel provides all essential information clearly and legibly. It is positioned very low, making it difficult to look at the information without diverting your eyes too much from the road. We also find a USB socket that allows us to charge, for example, our mobile phone on longer trips. As soon as we get on the controls of the VOGE 125R, we are surprised by the agility of the model. At just 128 Kg, this motorcycle is very easy to ride, even for people who are just starting out in the world of two wheels. The riding position is comfortable and we sit with our backs fairly straight. Although I prefer a slightly more aggressive riding position, the 125R allows us to take long trips without suffering from too much fatigue. OTHER FEATURES When it comes to safety, the Voge 125R leaves nothing to chance. In addition to an ABS system with two independent channels, we have full LED lighting that ensures exceptional visibility in all driving conditions. Additionally, we have a luminous signature on the fairings of the tank area that ensures extra visibility in traffic, ensuring the safety of drivers. THE BEST Engine, lighting, price TO IMPROVE Aesthetics, top speed, screen positionThe most impressive aspect of the VOGE 125R is its commitment to quality, performance, and price. The starting price to acquire one of these machines is 2,887 €. With a 5-year warranty, we can rest assured that VOGE has designed a model to provide years of worry-free driving pleasure. A brand that has been growing and the reasons for such growth are evident, and now even younger riders have a very interesting option to start their journey with this still very young manufacturer.
