I wish there was a full size option. I absolutely love the look of this bike
This design as a bigger 500cc A2 compliant version would sell well, if CFMOTO manages to establish trust and spare parts availabilty
Put 450sr engine
They already do.
I didnt know this bike existed until i just sat on one at a dealership while grabbing parts. This is a freaking awesome looking bike. The nailed the looks so well. Feels like a mini sport bike. Just bought a KTM but now i think i need onr of these too. Left the dealership and searched youtube and Chase delivered.
Do you think its TOO small?. Like for a 6'0-6'1 guy?. Do you know if its even Highway Legal?. What do you think of its pulling power?
@JorgeMartinez-yu7hb I didn't drive it. Only sat on it. Yes it's 50 state street legal, but probably not freeway capable. It's not too small but the seating/peg position are definitely further back vs a Grom or similar bike where you sit much more upright with you feet more forward. Again it's like a mini sport bike in the wait you sit on it.
OC: Im 6'1" and I was pretty comfortable on it when I took it for a test ride for my video. The shift light will also help someone learning to ride if they've never driven/ridden a non-automatic vehicle. The aftermarket and available stock options from CFMOTO really makes me want to see what aftermarket MFG could do to take advsntage of it.
OC: I'd definitely recommend a mini bike to anyone into a lil hooligan fun and wants to wheelie anywhere and everywhere. Honestly you can't go wrong with the Grom or Papio.
Monkey too. It is more solid.
Any oil pump mod required to do wheelie for the papio.. been trying to find info before i buy it.
OC. I just got the 2023 cfmoto papio and absolutely love it 🤘
Pumped to see this review. I would love to see how it holds up on a longer therm the hour I sent with the one i test rode was amazing
Great video. Whats your thoughts on the gearing? Picked up a grom recently, as a 230ish lb guy i barely use 4th as it cant keep my ass moving. Do you find the extra gears on the Papio make any difference? - Cheers
LoL I was just rewatching the papio ss first ride yesterday 😂 nice how it all lines up
It does look awesome.
I’m getting a grom this weekend! Minimotos seem so fun. Can’t wait to start this project by adding mods. Already have a Ninja but want a toy to bop around town with.
I bought a Z125 for my son to learn the basics. He is doing great but did fall bending the handlebars. Do you think those clip-one will fit the Z125? I love the look.
im 6'2"/3" and i got one i love it had to push the shift light up to 7300/7500 rpm
It’s the papio so for me, it looks so good
Just heard about these bikes earlier today, very nice looking! Do these suffer from stealership markup like the Grom, etc do?
That is a gorgeous bike. If i could find that front end for a grom...
OC. Already have two mini motos, a 2022 Honda Navi and a 2023 Honda Grom. I REALLY like the looks of the Papio SS to the point that I’m really debating selling it and buying one.
Chase what about a review on the 2024 Kawasaki Z900?
That poor bike hauling Magilla Gorilla
Cold blooded
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Can you please review the suzuki katana 20 or 23 please?
have you noticed rattley sound from the engine at a bit over 6000 rpm? should i change my oil early? mine just touched 160ish km on the odo.
im lookin in to one and found there is a Japanese racing modal the papil xo 1 you can get the xo1 ecu witch is apparently unrestricted and one that add 25% power
OC: When it comes to mini-bikes, I will most likely go for the Papio-CL (The Mini Supermoto one), or a 2023 Papio depending on availability. I love the GROM as well, but something about the Papio just stands out to me more, especially the CL.
do they make a larger version?
OC I really like the look of the ss alot. But I don't think I would like the body position that much. But I do want a 3rd motorcycle to be a mini moto. I have thought about getting the honda adv 150 instead. It's more practical for traffic and city riding and has alot of built in storage.
im newbie in bikes, is it possible to change the wheels a lil bigger?
They need to make the maxi-mini 252cc twin 😁
11:00 you probably will want to do a 190 or 212cc swap on that thing. Just you pegging it more than 5-10% of the time, means you need more power. 14:20 you should be able to increase the rear shock height
is this still manageable with a pillion ride?
I went to look at one because pictures looked cool. In person it reminded me of one of those Walmart bicycles with plastic panels to look like a motorcycle. I like some things about it but it’s no grom.
i want to see passenger on this bike... can it have an OBR can it handle 2 persons
the looks are great it reminds me of a old school enduro
how about maintenance?
You’d have a blast doing a downhill canyon run with it. Maybe ride down Pikes Peak toll road. Full size bikes you can’t bomb downhill canyons without getting into felony territory.
Im still on the fence. I like the looks of papio SS and CL but the only reason i have been hesitant is that the grom has legendary durability, best fuel economy, and soooo many after market parts. Im a mechanic, if i knew i could get replacement parts and after market parts for one of these id go with it in a second.
I'm 6'2". I haven't tested this new body style, but I had on the previous body style Papio. My hand will hit my knee when turning. It was pretty bad.
Obviously these aren't for you. Us short kings are chilling 😎
OC - I have a 3rd gen Grom right now, but I'm seriously considering trading. Hopefully I'll be able to find one locally to at least test-ride.
I’m in this same boat honestly LOL
My ‘23 Papio gets 75+MPG with an exhaust and MSC tune. It’ll hit 70MPH flat ground.
If they had the aftermarket of a grom. I would consider.
I want this bike with a taller handlebar, going to be more comfortable and more exciting to ride.
I have a question so I just bought this bike and they say don’t ride it hard in the break in process. On the back roads I 50 mph and less in 5th gear. Is that riding it hard ???
You are definitely not following recommendation for running in. Cf moto says keep it under 4,000rpm, which in 6th gear is about 30mph. Don’t open too much throttle to accelerate either. Give it a good 600 miles to get the engine gently run in. Or don’t cry later when you’ve lost compression and are burning a quart of oil every 500 miles 😅
I’m waiting for the Papio ADV!(Wishful)
Have you seen the CL?
Neat
I tried one at a dealership. Its nice in person but the clutch is stiff. I have an injury on my left hand and I was hoping the clutch was going to be softer. So I had to pass on it.
The monkey is the best looking finished mini moto…what killed it me is the gas mileage ….u can get twice the mileage from Honda….just for a little more can get a speed 400
Need a Papio Adv, with top box and panniers.
Lol. You could fit more luggage on a bicycle
It's really nice to see more efforts put into the mini moto scene! But sadly I just don't think this competes with the Grom. Your notes on MPG are bad. So if you are wanting to fill up it's 1.9 gallon tank after 77 miles that's telling me this thing must only be getting 50-60 mpg? That's kinda terrible. Literally half what a Grom gets? I do have to admit the styling on the Papio SS and CL are pretty good, cooler than the Grom from some angles. Also I like that the Papio is a 6 speed, hard to have too many gears, lol. But the fit and finish and switchgear isn't up to the level of the Grom. It's also 10% heavier than a Grom. And of course can't touch the Grom's reputation and aftermarket. Then there is the hidden factor of better resale value on the Grom, so the price difference is kind of a non-issue.
Oc - Buying a Monkey 22+ this year.
It would look sick if it had a high front fender
Papio CL model does
That thing gets 77 miles to tank? My big bore grom gets 100 miles to a gallon
I wish the XSR900 GP had those dual headlamps. Chef's kiss.
13:15 it’s an SS needs GP shift! 😂👌
Makes me cry that they dont sell this in europe
Everytime I see this bike I think, "I wish they made it in an adult size" 😹
I’d want something with ABS
The Papio comes with ABS as standard equipment.
Not available in England 😠
If i got a mini moto for a second bike id have to get the monkey, unfortunately im 6' 2" & 265lbs so id be like an elephant on a bicycle 😅
Just get the Duke 250
How much did it increase your testosterone levels?
Through the roof
instinctually, I misspeak all the time
But the grom gets over a 100mpg
They should of kept the xo-1 name nothing ss about it
Wow 2 gallons for 77 miles? That cannot be right. A 10 HP engine couldn’t burn that at wide open throttle and only cover 77 miles. You are talking at least double that range even at WOT. Really
