where they gonna assemble it if ckd
but looks like very new company, might catch up to cfmoto in 5-10 years

i think AFY is making it happen,

they plan to CKD MV Agusta bikes as well.

they wana be like MForce, maybe wana better them.
This 450RR is kinda making waves in China.

All 3 kove rally bikes finished Paris Dakar in their debut attempt.

sat on the kove 450rr and tried swinging it side to side and it's surprisingly very light compared to my friend's zx25r. not sure about the fuel or fluids in it though, i think it's empty

in the video posted above, they weight the bike with fuel full to the brim. it is 161kg only.

looking at the specs from their website is pretty impressive.
engine is their inhouse engine or based on another platform?

That looks like Abi Yusuf.
You're Abi?

i download the foto frm fb ler

Any idea about AFY's timeline? I mean from now till production till start of sales till products in showroom?

So far now, oni PT reported, non from other motor media.

Just for discussion sake, if CFMoto brought in their 3-cylinder 675 and their inline-4 500. Which would be your pick. Kove's name is still relatively unknown here while CFMoto has been on the upward trend in many places. Then there is the question of aftersales back-up too.

once the bike on sale, i will observe for at least a year or more, gather info frm all over the world, then only decide.

450rr this bike is so new, not many have received the bike.
All those test done previously was on test bikes.
It is the cheapest 4inline sport bike in china with over 70ps.

Something on the 450RR thankfully in English

CFMoto is goin to challenge it with their 500 4inline.

Ergonomically, the handles aren't positioned too well and the braking could be better too in the Kove (according to the reviewer).

the handle they just move it up abit, ok dy.
long term need to wait... n see,

kove entered the supersport300 this year,
the sole chinese team + bike...

Reviving this thread since ZX4R/SE/RR isn't coming to Malaysia anytime soon, the 450RR is as close as we can get in that category.

In China, the ZX4RR is 12000US$~ while the Kove 450RR is set to <6000US$. I know the difference could be import tax and locally built in China. Considering the tax and stuff, could 450RR be in the ZX25R msrp? who knows till it's announced.

My question here is, what/who is AFY Mobility Industries? Based off their website, they have multiple brands on hand, Suzuki, MV Gusta and other unknown brands of bikes.

Does anyone know their services/spare parts quality? Do they already have their own service centers or will they open up their own service centers or will this be another MForce serviced brand? If MForce, then bummer.

AFY is short for Ahmad Faez bin Tan Sri Yahaya,

Group Executive Chairman of KMSB Motors SB, (Formerly known as Kawasaki Motors (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.)
They have been dealing with Kawasaki in Msia since the very beginning, until Modesaki...

A bit of history here.

Kove dono when will launch, so u will jz hv to wait.
wait launch...
wait tikus putih feedback...
might take 2 years mebe...lol

unless u don mind to try it ...

If the price is right, might as well have it as a second bike. already have a Z250 if shit hits the fan. Only thing I'm worried is the service center. if it's MForce, god help us all.

At least some update for 450 rally.

But I been eye-ing for 321rr

ami/afy is commited to market kove in msia.
so hv to sabar lah, cheering for them to fight with mforce..

any translators? 😁

this video originated from douyin, this guy do engine teardown to analyse the built quality etc.

one trick you can use to translate, each time the sub shows on vid, u pause it, and use another phone with google translate etc hover over the display, it will translate in real time, no nid to shoot any photo, then play the vid again.

No kove logo?! lol

Not happening for AFY AMI it seems, those brand under afy like mv agusta fantic tarak...

20L petrol = 196kg...

AFY Mobility Industries has officially launched the Kove 450R, 450 Rally, and 800X GT in Malaysia — priced at RM34,000, RM40,000, and RM49,000 respectively.

Good for the respective segments but after almost 3 years still nothing on 450rr sportsbike which was shown at 2023 MotoGP


Attached thumbnail(s)

That 450R looks like baby z1000 with sugomi-ish design.
Good for inline-4 fans. 65hp at 12000 rpm, very revvy

KOVE founder Zhang Xue left the company to set up another motorcycle company that has his name.

So fast edy launch their second bike, the Zhang Xue ZX500-F, before Honda could even launch their CB500 SuperFour.

My wife is waiting for the chance to test ride it in Zhejiang. When we checked out their showroom last month in Wenzhou, only got the ZX500-RR.

That bike is one interesting bike. Would make for a stonking good daily. 169kg dry is damn light for a 4 cyc. Probably about 185 wet with fuel.

Seems like the newer Chinese manufacturers are shedding off the heavy as fark stigma of their bikes. Kove also doing good things on that front. No doubt that some of the lightweight DNA has made its way to ZX
