Correction: 145 is apparently dry weight. At least without fuels even though there are mixed reports about this even on Kove's own website.

Quick Ride Episode 8
Complete series:    • Quick Rides  

Hey everyone! Today, I’m super excited to share with you my test ride of the brand new KOVE 450 Rally. This beast has been making waves in the recent Dakar rallies, and I couldn’t wait to see what all the hype was about. Spoiler alert: it did NOT disappoint! Join me as I take this rally monster through its paces.

And yes, you read that right – there was a bit of a mishap during the ride. I ended up crashing the bike! It was a wild moment, but it gave me a chance to really test its durability and recovery. Don’t worry, I’m okay and so is the bike.. mostly.

So, if you’re as curious about the KOVE 450 Rally as I was, or if you just love a good motorcycle adventure, hit that play button! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more test rides and reviews.

Thanks for watching, and see you in the next ride!

🏍️ What is the Quick Ride series meant to be?

Quick Ride is not meant to be a review. These are test rides and first impressions from my point of view. Full reviews on my channel will always be from a longer ownership experience standpoint.

Welcome aboard!
