Conclusion - what sticks

The Honda CMX 1100 is a dignified cruiser with good driving characteristics and a complete equipment. Unlike many U.S. ships, it is neither particularly heavy nor particularly difficult to navigate. It brings a lot of fun on the road, sounds good and is also suitable for novice drivers. Although it has impressive dimensions, the rider does not feel overwhelmed in the saddle and quickly has the bike under control after a very short period of getting used to it. Operation and quality are typical of Honda. Nice cruiser!

Thanks again to Andi from Hamburg for borrowing his machine. Soon there will be more tests by LeserBikes, who have responded to our video call. Thank you very much for the many offers!

Conclusion on the Voge DS 900 X

The Voge DS 900 X is a well-made mid-range adventure bike at an unbeatable price. It is almost fully equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. A little fine-tuning is still missing here and there, but the gap to the bikes of the established manufacturers is already surprisingly small.
 
If you are actually flirting with GS Adventure or similar machines, you should definitely take a closer look at the Voge DS 900 X and take it for a test drive. A price advantage of about 50 percent compared to the competition is certainly a convincing argument for many motorcyclists in these times. It may well be that Voge has landed a real hit here, which we will then also see in the sales figures.
