The Voge R800 is a new naked motorcycle expected to arrive in the UK at some point during 2027. It uses the parallel-twin engine from the DS800X Rally, producing 93 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 60 lb ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. Both figures are slightly higher than those of the Honda CB750 Hornet, giving the R800 a clear place in the same middleweight conversation without turning its projected price into a confirmed fact.

270-degree crank and upgraded controls

The 270-degree crankshaft creates an offset firing sequence and a character intended to feel more like a V-twin than a conventional parallel twin. The R800 also gains a quickshifter compared with its related adventure model. Its throttle changes from a traditional cable arrangement to ride-by-wire, with four riding modes available through the electronic system.

A seven-inch colour TFT sits at the centre of the cockpit and supports phone mirroring for navigation and other functions. Cruise control, heated grips and a heated seat are also part of the specification. That combination gives the naked bike a broader equipment package than its straightforward bodywork might initially suggest.

KYB and Nissin hardware

The equipment story continues with the chassis components. Voge fits an adjustable 43mm KYB fork, while twin four-piston Nissin calipers provide the front braking. These details make the R800’s specification about more than engine output and electronic features, although the final riding character will depend on how the complete package works together.

There is no confirmed price yet. The current estimate is around £6,000, which would put the R800 roughly £1,500 below the Honda CB750 Hornet. Its eventual UK price and the precise point of arrival during 2027 will therefore be important factors in establishing how strongly the new Voge can position itself in the middleweight naked class.
