Conclusion - what sticks
We underestimated the T7 World Raid before the test. At least we didn't expect how mature the machine is. Seat height, sheer size and the higher weight make the World Raid a different machine than the "little sister" T7. It is made for the gaaaaanz long journey over hill and dale and drives extremely confidently. It is not suitable for smaller people, but this is already evident in the seat test. The good sales figures of the two previous T7 models should improve the World Raid again - it is actually not a cheap wash, but quasi new motorcycle.The test bike was kindly provided by the Yamaha Center Hamburg / Tecius & Reimers. There, the World Raid stands as a demonstrator and looks forward to test drives. Just call and ask for Joachim. Have fun!
Result
Strong, what Voge can do with the DS 625 X for less than 7,000 euros (gross incl. transfer). This adventure bike is made of high quality and offers a lot of good hardware: e.g. an adjustable suspension from Kayaba, Nissin brakes and Metzeler tires - just to name a few things. So the equipment is good and Voge has also thought of a very respectable top-loader pannier set including a top case for only 1,299 euros.If you're worried that you're standing in front of some Billo bike from China, we can reassure you: The Voge DS 625 X is really well made and offers many pleasing details that are often only available from the competition for an extra charge. Would you like some examples? Engine guard, aluminum engine guard, fog auxiliary lights, tire pressure monitoring, running light indicators, center stand, hand guards, illuminated switches ... everything on board in series - for less than 7,000 euros.
