The Voge SR450X has a lot of good points, 400 cc, twin cylinder, 41 bhp, 17" front wheel, upright stance with high handlebars, but the dry weight is quoted at 220kg. Kerb weight, fuelled etc, would make it about 230 - 235kg, X ADV 750 territory, which I found very heavy, and that puts me off quite a bit.

And that weight eats at the power advantage over the ADV350. The mt is pretty light.

There again, it seems possible that Chinese horses are less powerful than Japanese ones.....despite the claims that the Zontes has 10 more bhp than the Honda ADV350 (39 vs 29), every direct comparison I've come across has found that that the Zontes is barely any faster than the Honda.
