Engineered by Voge for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2020 Voge 500R relies on a 471 cc (28.7 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46.2 HP (33.7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 42.5 Nm (31.3 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 98.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the 500R measures 190 kg (419 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.24 HP/kg (4.11 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph).
