Good, but not cheap
So you can imagine enjoying day trips or the ferries of everyday life on normal routes with the BMW G 310 GS. For the big tour she is rather too unrelaxed. BMW is calling for around 6,050 euros for this model. The question then arises as to who should buy this. Sure, it is suitable for beginners qua law. But as a pure beginner bike a bit expensive.
BMW's 310 series has clear qualities. If you can do without the rather limited touring ability anyway, you should take a look at the already mentioned G 310: Here you can save another 700 Euros.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
Result
The Voge 500 AC is a well-made machine with which you are very quickly familiar and with which you can have a lot of fun. It is extremely accessible and, thanks to the seat geometry, is suitable for many driver sizes. The handling is easy and manoeuvring the bike is easy.The look with the short rear should appeal to younger A2 aspirants and also in terms of equipment and price, the Voge 500 AC does not have to hide from the competitors . It will be interesting to see what other bikes Voge will send on Europe's roads.
