Chinese motorcycle brand KOVE Moto has unveiled the new 650RR at the 2026 EICMA in Milan. The 650RR was among several new models presented by KOVE at EICMA, as the brand continues to expand its motorcycle portfolio and strengthen its presence in international markets.
KOVE Moto has also revealed its plan to campaign the 650RR in the WorldSPB category in 2027. The manufacturer has announced European champion Iker García and WorldSPB race winner Antonio Torres for its WSBP campaign.
KOVE already competes in the WorldSPB with the 450RR in the 2026 season. This participation highlights the young manufacturers’ growing involvement in international motorcycle competition. The manufacturer has previously participated in the Dakar Rally and the FIM Supersport 300 World Championship, where its factory rider Beñat Fernández secured the 2025 title. The achievement also made KOVE the first Chinese manufacturer to win the category.

The KOVE 650RR is powered by an all-new 645cc, liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine featuring a DOHC 16-valve configuration. It produces a claimed 107 hp at 13,000 rpm and 60 Nm of peak torque at 11,000 rpm, delivered through a six-speed transmission.
