Guys and girls, welcome back to the channel. Today I’m back at Into Moto and a very busy Into Moto at that. They’ve had some new bikes delivered, one of which I’ve been waiting a while for. It’s not a 125. We’re going bigger today. So, yeah, I’m excited. Let’s just have a look at today’s bike. Looks nice. [Music] You can see why I’m excited now. This is the allnew VO R625 and it looks like an absolute weapon. So, I’m excited to ride it. So, I feel like this has to be the quickest walk round ever just so I can get out riding. So, let me do the usual. We’ll go around. I’ll show you all angles. I’ll throw some specs at you. And then the fun bit. There we go. Now, this bike has been well, it was rumored it was coming and then I heard it was definitely coming and then I got the phone call this week to say one had landed at Into Moto and would I like to take it out, which of course I said, you bloody damn right I do. Now, let me know what you think, but I’m liking what I see. So, let’s get straight into it. Brakes at the front. We’ve got a 298 mm floating discs and it’s got Nissing calipers as well, so decent spec. and a 240 mm disc at the back with again a Nissen caliper. And this does have dual channel ABS. There is some KYB suspension on this. The exhaust for a Euro5 plus, it doesn’t actually look too bad. They’ve got some sort of carbon fiber. I don’t know if that’s just an effect, but it looks nice. Actually, I like what they’ve done with the end of that. Full LED setup for the lights front and rear. Just a side stand, no center stand with this one. It is, of course, a chain drive. So, not having the center stand does make it a little bit more difficult to do. You just need to push the bike back and forwards to get your chain cleaned, lubed, whatever. seat on this. Yeah, it’s very sports bike like I think. Quite a nice wide seat though. We’ll see how comfortable that is very very shortly. Rear seat just looks, as I’ve said, like a sports bike seat. It’s not particularly big, but it’s probably about three hands across. You’ve got some nice grab handles, and of course, you have got the rear pegs. Now, that’s a bit of a bug bear for me. I don’t know why they do it. Rear peg doesn’t match the front peg. OCD gone mad. I know, but it doesn’t. So, the seat height is 785 mm. And normally for that, I would say flat footing wouldn’t be a problem for me. I’m 5’8 with a 29 in inseam. However, I’m finding myself here. I’ve got to stretch my legs to get them as straight as possible to get close to flat foot in this bike. I don’t know whether it’s because where the pegs are or where the seat is, but if I do try and avoid the pegs. Yeah, I’m probably about that much off getting my heels down. So, it’s not as short as the figures suggest is what I’m getting at. But, it feels comfortable. Seats nice and wide. Bars feel wide, but I feel like I’m in a slightly sporty position. I am lent forward ever so slightly lent forward. Pegs nice and central, but it’s a nice position. Quite a good position to be fair. God, can I do this? I’ve got vans reversing and beeping. I’ve got ambulance sirens. I’ve got mechanics with the tools in the background. The show must go on. Yeah, it’s a nice position. Central pegs and the way the tank comes out, your knee is tucked in just underneath where the tank flares out a little bit. So, it is a nice position. I’m liking it so far. And for a bigger bike, weight wise on this, 198 kg. So, not the lightest bike. However, it’s really easy to get off the side stand. And yeah, you can move it around with ease, but it’s not a little 125, so you do need to put a little bit more muscle behind this one when you’re moving it, but it feels easy enough. Fuel tank is 16 1/2 L. This has got a 581cc motor and it delivers 64.3 horsepower. So yeah, I’m definitely in for some fun today. I’m excited. I don’t know why I keep making stupid noises. I just get giddy. I do a lot of 125cc bikes and scooters into Moto. It’s nice to get one of these beasts to take out. Excited. It’s a six-speed with a slipper clutch. And if we talk buttons for this bike, it does look like it’s got more than what you would expect, but I have come to expect it now from Vogge because they do tend to throw a lot of extras on their bikes that ordinarily you would pay for. So, I’m expecting nothing less with this bike. So, what we’ve got on the left hand side, you have got your horn, there’s the indicators, there’s the hazard lights, there is a looks like a menu up and down thing here. We’ve got an enter button. There is a traction control button and there is the high beam and low beam. Again, quite cluttered with buttons. We’ll see how that works when we’re riding as to how easy it is to get to each and every one of them. What I would say is when you’ve got a bike like this, in fact, when you buy any brand new bike, if you’ve got loads of buttons at first, yeah, you might need to look and work out where everything is, but it will just become second nature, I’m sure. right hand side we’ve got an engine start and cut off and then there’s a mode button a key so there is no messing with any keyless let’s have a look at the screen oh that’s very nice actually so you just seen that it went black to the white background so that will mean that this screen is one of those that will change depending on what the lighting’s like outside. So, at night time, it’ll change to the blacks around. I like it. This is a 7in TFT screen. You can see by looking at this, there’s a lot of information on here. You’ve got the big speedo. You’ve got your rev counter going round. You’ve got engine temperatures. You’ve got fuel gauge. There is that looks like a mode button that says normal. So yeah, we’ll see what modes we’ve got very shortly. There is traction control because you can turn it off. There is that button there I’ve already showed you and there is a clock and an outside temperature. There’s a lot of information scattered about there. But the main thing is for me is the essential stuff is nice and clear. When I press the mode button, in fact, I’ll do it with the screen in view. So, you press the M button, it changes from normal to sport and then the speedo changes. You’ve got the rev counter going across. You’ve got a different thing to look at. But yeah, I like that. I don’t know if it’s just the screen that changes or if it changes the power. I might have a little check of that when we’re out riding. I hope it has got some sort of sport turbo mode on. Something else to get me giddy. But yeah, looks good. Now, I was really, really impressed with AO’s DSX625. Thought the engine, the power, everything on that was brilliant. Now, this bike looks a little bit smaller, a little bit lighter, but same engine. In my mind, that transfers to this is going to be an absolute hoot to ride. So, I’m really looking forward to it. Now, the price on this bike is £4,999 plus the on the road. So, it’s very similar to that of the DSX. I think it’s time we go and ride it. I mean, for me, that’s that’s cheap for a bike with this engine size, with this horsepower. $499. Let’s go and do the fun bit. Stay with me for the ride. Oh, I do like the fun bit. So, as is the way, this time of year is my favorite time of year for bike reviewing. And it’s just purely because all of the bike manufacturers seem to release all of the new models at the same time. So, you get a few months of just utter craziness with new models coming out. And this is one I genuinely I say it about a lot of bikes and I know I do, but this is genuinely one of the bikes that I’ve had friends asking me about. I’ve had work colleagues asking me about. I’ve had family asking me about because they’re into these types of bikes, the naked sports bike, you know, the comfortable riding sports bike, cuz that’s what these are. And today’s the day I can actually oh well I can feed back to them. Is it any good looking around it? I think it looks absolutely amazing. But I do like the 125 version. But this is going to be a completely different animal. Let’s give this a Oh, now this is where I choke myself whilst putting my face and camera near the exhaust for your pleasure. So, it’s got a lovely little rumble to it just on idle. Yeah, it sounds filthy. And yes, I’m even more excited now to see what this beast can do. So, what I will do, I will start off on normal mode. And I I just need to check cuz I need to check, is it just the screen that changes or is there a noticeable difference with power? Now, today, unfortunately, like with a lot of these new bikes, this bike is not a a press bike. Sometimes I get press bikes. Press bikes, you can kind of ride them as you want to ride them. You can test the performance. You can do all that because that’s what they’re for. They’re there for you to test properly. Now, this bike is a bike that’s going to be for sale at Into Moto. So, this is just like an initial impression stroke ride just to check that everything’s working and all in order and it stops and goes as it should. So, I won’t be doing any craziness when it comes to the riding and all that stuff cuz ultimately someone’s going to buy this bike. Um, now I need to find out if the person who buys it if they’re going to be a very very lucky someone. Let’s go playing. Oh, the the difference when you’ve got a bigger bike and you barely touch the throttle and the bike wants to move much quicker than you want it to. It’s such a good thing, such a good problem to have. So, anyway, comfortwise over the cobbles. Yeah, you can tell it’s got a bit of a sporty feel to it. You can feel those cobbles a little bit, but it’s not forgetting that this has got KYB adjustable suspension. So, that might just be something that you need to just fettle a little bit to your own well to your own liking. It’s going through gears nicely. The power delivery is actually really nice and smooth. You can see there as far as throttle goes. Um, there is no lag with the throttle at all. The slightest twist there. That’s all I’ve done so far. I’ve not done any twisting in anger. And yet, the bike picks up speed really nicely. The screen looks very nice as well. Now I’m moving. No reflection whatsoever. Okay. There’s just there is something special and magical about being on a motorcycle. There really is. And especially when you’ve got one that just gives you that little smile. You don’t even have to twist the throttle much, but twisting it a little bit is enough to just get you proper giggly and giddy. And that’s what this is doing to me so far. Even like in traffic because you know you’ve got a bike that’s got some decent power with it. There’s just something exciting about having that power with you. Seat feels nice and comfortable. No issues with that whatsoever. Let me get out here again. Faster bike. Not a problem to do these kind of moves because you’ve got the extra power to get yourself out of trouble should you need it. And that is a very very good thing. And this does seem very agile actually to change lanes to zip out in front of traffic and zip through. You can see how busy it is. It does not appear to be an issue with this bike. It just feels really nimble. I just find it amazing that you can get a bike as good as this for less than $5,000. I do. I find it amazing because this for me it’s kind of like the the M07 that kind of vibe to it. And yeah, it just feels like that kind of bike to ride. Very, very light and nimble, but there’s just quite a bit of power. No, it’s not a sports bike, but you can feel it. The slightest twist, you can feel this bike wants to go. And as I’ve said today, this bike is for sale at In Moto. So, this is just really a bit of a test for me to make sure that it runs, rides, and stops nicely. A bike of this size with this horsepower performance is not going to be a problem. Anybody looking to buy one of these as a a first bike, for instance, after you’ve passed your test, um yeah, so far all I can say is this would be a really really good choice. It’s nice. It’s as good as I hoped it would be. It’s just this here. I mean, when you’ve got to like move it around, if you’re dodging grids, if you’re going in and out of traffic, if you’re doing something like, you know, you’re on the tight twisties, this bike would be amazing because I can already feel how agile it is. And yeah, I’m not even in sport mode. Oh my goodness. Yes, I said. Oh my goodness. Let me uh do a check here. Now, this is the pain. The sport or the mode buttons on your right hand, so trying to change it with the throttle on is kind of not doable, but it will let you change it if you come off the throttle. Uh let’s see. Now, I’m in sport mode. I’m not going to ride it stupid, but I want to just see if it feels a bit more responsive, if there’s something extra to it. Yeah. Yeah, it does feel like it’s a little bit sharper, but I don’t know if that’s a mental thing. I think as soon as you see a bike go sport mode, you automatically get even giddier. Yeah. Do you know what? I can It does. It feels like it it’s got a little bit more to it, but I don’t know. I’m not riding it fast enough to actually test that properly. But I just wanted to do a little check to see if it made much of a difference, if anything. It’s got a lovely little rumble to it as well. Now, let me try go just the back brake. Yeah, just stop him with the back brake. And it’s um it’s fine. It’s not too sharp like it’s not going to lock the back wheel the second you touch it. It just stops nice and smoothly. front brake. Yeah, the front brake’s really good. You can feel that straight away. Much better. And I wasn’t again squeezing too hard on it because it’s a brand new bike. So, I was just testing it just very very I won’t say gingerely cuz you know you’ve got to make sure they break properly, but this does. Now, weight wise on this 198 kg, um, at slow speed, it feels really, really well balanced. And I’ve already said and compared it to bikes like Yamaha’s M07 and maybe even the Suzuki GSXs. That kind of vibe to it, that kind of seating position. Um, this is just cheaper. Think I would actually pick this over those. I know there’ll be people in the comments going, “Don’t be stupid. Japanese bike all day long. No, go out and get yourself an M09. Go and get a used M09 or go and get a used MT10.” Um, and you know what? I don’t have a problem with that because I think that is also a very good option. But I think if you’re somebody who’s looking for a brand new bike, and brand new bikes come with the warranties, I’m pretty certain this has got a 2-year warranty. So, if you’ve got a bike with a 2-year warranty, anything goes wrong with it in those two years, it’s completely covered. So, there is a lot to be said for that and the peace of mind of it. Also, knowing that if you buy a brand new bike, it’s going to just be you that’s had it. And it’s all well and good buying a used Yamaha that, you know, everybody swears by. And me, too. I’ve done it myself. But you go and buy one of those bikes, you don’t know if the previous owner has looked after it like they should. You don’t know if the previous owner has dropped it or you don’t know if the previous owner has razed the nuts off it from it going out the crate and pretty much into the car. You don’t know. There’s a lot of things you don’t know. And that’s the thing with a new bike is you do know. If you’re the first person to ride a brand new bike, then you know whether or not that bike Oh, loads of sirens today. But yeah, you know, if you get a new bike, you know if the bike’s been looked after or not because you’re the only bugger that’s had it. It’s giving me the vibes of what is considered to be the premium Japanese bikes. And it is just the looking round, the finish of it, the switch gear, the paint job, the just the fit and finish, the parts, Nissen’s KYB suspension. There’s a lot of stuff on here that you would expect off a bike that’s more expensive. There’s really not a lot to complain about. Now, unfortunately, the bike is for sale. And I say unfortunately because what that means is I can’t take this bike out for a day. I can take it for a little little ride around just to, as I’ve already said many times, just to check that the bike is working perfectly well, the brakes are working, it goes and stops as it should. Um, which is a shame because I don’t want to stop on this bike. I want to just carry on and do lots of riding. Now, the traffic is crap and I’m going to try a little bit of filtering. Um, now this bike is obviously bigger than a 125, so filtering, yeah, I mean the gaps always seem a little bit tighter when you’re on a bike that’s a little bit chunkier, but it’s not an issue. I do filter in on my own Nikon, which is massive. Um, and this is obviously considerably easier than that. Goes around the bends really nicely. It’s riding really, really nicely. how I’ve been riding it. No vibrations. Everything is lovely and smooth. The gear changes are beautiful. The seat is really comfortable. The seating position is comfortable while sporty. And there’s a slight bend in my back. It is just that it is a slight bend and nothing more. Um, I would say I mean if you are somebody who is looking to downsize from a bigger bike, a 1000cc monster, say, this bike would be a nice little downsize for you because it’s got plenty of power to keep you smiling. It’s comfortable and it’s a lovely thing to look at. So, that’s you covered. Now, if you’re a person that’s just passed your test and you’re looking to up from a 125 to something bigger, again, this bike could well be the bike of your dreams. It could be because at less than £5,000 for a brand new bike that’s got 64 horsepower. Um, yeah, I think it’s going to be a very, very good option for people in that situation. I do. I do. I think, you know, if you’re looking for a bike that has got something a little bit extra about it, something that’s going to be a fun bike to go out and have rides with a mate, something that you can throw around the bends, then this could well be the bike for you. and everything on it works as you would hope and expect a brand new bike to work. It’s got good performance. It looks and appears to be built very, very well. The horsepower figures are fairly decent to be fair for this price point. The TFT screen looks nice. The comfort of riding is up there. And I know I’m gushing and sometimes I do it with bikes, but sometimes a bike exceeds expectations. Now, this one, I was really looking forward to riding it, and sometimes with that comes disappointment. However, it’s not been the case with this. It’s It’s an absolute lovely bike to ride. Now, I would say to you guys and girls, if you’re considering one of these, then yeah, I would definitely recommend it. It is absolutely lovely. I do. I like it. And I’ve mentioned on many videos, I’m looking to buy a new bike within the next couple of months. And is this this has just made it onto the list of candidates because that’s how much I like it. Um there’s quite a few on the list. So getting that list shorter is going to be a problem cuz at the minute I think I’ve got about five or six, but it’s on the that’s how good I think this bike is. So yeah, I think that’s going to do me. If you’re interested into Moto, obviously have this very bike in the showroom. So, if you want to go down and sit on it, see if it fits you, etc., go and do it because it is a lovely comfortable thing. Um, and if you just want some more details, some more specs, I’ll put a link to Into Moto, specifically this bike, and you can have a look through it yourself. Have a look at the full spec sheet. I tend to go through the bits that I find important to me, but you might want other information. So, yeah, follow the link in the description. If you’ve liked the video, give it the thumbs up. And if you want to talk bikes, you want to comment about this or anything else, just pop it in the comments. We’ll have a chat. But for now, that’s going to do me. Thank you very much. And I will catch you guys on the next one. Lers. YouTube. YouTube. Oh yeah. He’s a killer. That’s right.
