I'm looking to get an adventure bike and the Kove 800X Rally seems like a very solid choice, especially considering the price. What I'm mostly interested is the bikes capabilities? How does it fair when compared to something like the Honda Africa?
 
The Kove is a true rally bike that's street legal, so it's much lighter, with more suspension travel and ground clearance.
It's designed for serious off-road riding, like technical trails and single track.
The Africa Twin, on the other hand, is more of a traditional adventure touring bike.
It's heavier and built for comfort on long-distance highway rides, with the capability to handle moderate off-road riding like fire roads and gravel.
So basically, if your priority is serious off-roading, then the Kove will run circles around the Africa Twin!
But if you want a comfortable bike for long tours that can still handle some dirt, the Africa Twin is a proven and practical choice.
It really just comes down to what kind of adventure you're looking for!
 
Compared to an Africa Twin, Kove is lighter and a bit more agile, which helps off road, but it doesn't quite match Africa Twin in terms of long distance comfort, refinement, or reliability history.
That's my honest answer @Cellofun88
