Adventure bike camping would be an awesome addition to the channel!
Another 73 yr old thanking you for your incredible videos. Finally know exactly how I would have loved to live my life from watching you. Seeing you do your own build in a vehicle of my dreams. You are an incredible example to many. I found you because I am very interested in a sprinter 4x4. Here I am thankful to you for this video on this 4th of July and me sharing with you this great adventure of yours.
I got a quote from a local dealership in TX on the CF Moto 300 NK. MSRP is $3,999 but the dealership was charging $6,500 out the door. Some of that is TTL which is unavoidable, but the $1,000 freight charge on a $4,000 bike stopped me from pulling the trigger.
That's nutty. Definitely ripping people off.
I just priced a brand new bike in Rockwall Tx, wanted almost 10 grand out the door for a $6700 bike.😥 Im buying used.
I purchased my CLX 700 Sport from my local “fair and honest” dealership. Price 6999, Frt/Setup 599, Title/Docs 339 = 7937. Trade-in 6250 = 1687 + Tax 84 + Plate 205 = 1976 OTD with negotiated "No Charge" for 600-mile Break-In Service. If no trade and tax on 7937 total, it would have been 8537 OTD.
Was this at a Ride Now dealership?
I'm glad you passed on it. It's garbage.
i've had the 650NK for the whole season now, it's been pretty nice, no troubles whatsoever so far. I've ridden 3000 km for the past 6 months
I was on their website looking at each one as you rode it. I like the 300SS, since I'm a beginner it would be perfect for my short commute to work or to the store around here, plus it really nails it on the styling, what a cool looking bike. Nice review and thanks for the introduction to a new company.
Great review, enjoyed watching you test ride all the models. The CLX 700 Sport - that Bosch fuel-mapped “boost” that kicks in around 6500 rpm, what a hoot! Purchased mine in May 2022. I didn’t purchase based on price, but rather how the bike performed, how it fit me physically, and the design. The gearbox/shifting is like butter, especially after break-in service with original oil dumped. Seat is actually comfy compared to other bikes that felt like sitting on a 2x4. Full Brembo brake system? Fully-adjustable KYB forks? Auto-cancel turns, cruise control, and bar end mirrors? Competition needs to run, not walk to keep up now.
CFMOTO is definitely trying to get I to the right place with their offerings. Also some moto camping would be bad ass to see in this channel. I would be really interested to see the different set ups on every one of your bikes when it comes to camping
I sat on one and it was nice. I almost got one 2022 CFMoto 700CL-X but i got the mt-03 instead. The main reason was I was worried that the quality would not be there. I know Yamaha is proven and the mt-03 has a work horse engine that I can put lots of miles on. Saying that who knows maybe next year i will trade it in.
Well, that looked like a fun day. I'd love to see some 2 wheeled overlanding on the channel, man. Understanding all you're in to, it just seems a natural direction to explore. I watch several other adventure bikers as well, but no one that I've found has shared the experience as in detail as I'm sure you would. Looking forward to see what you decide.
I just got the CL-X 700 Sport and cannot wait to start riding it. A long term review on this model would be great. Thank you for the great video!
I own the cf moto 300ss and I love it I’m 6foot 4 and am very comfortable on it. I’m new to riding it has just the right amount of power. It’s easy to learn on and the app that connects to the bike is really good you can track all your rides. It’s not the best app but I can imagine it’ll get better as they develop. You can also track the bike with the app and it has a built in move sensor so if someone tries to take your bike you’ll get a notification.
Great video bro! Enjoyed riding with y’all out there!
I'd love to see a long term of 700 clx sport. I've ridden cruisers for 8 years, but am looking to make the switch to a naked sport bike or a Cafe racer style like the CLX, so I'd love to see that!
I currently have the 700 clx heritage, like the silver/blue with golden forks in the video. It has 2000 miles so far not a single hiccup. I love this thing.
I have the sport and also just hit 2000 miles and I love mine as well.
Got my license on one today! Have driven it for like 20+ hrs and i started with 2k km and it now has 10k km. It rides good, problems are the turning signal that keeps turning off and neutral seems to be an actual problem (it shows it is in neutral, but actually isnt sometimes)
Bro I was thinking about getting a papio and there are like no videos off them so this was super helpful
Good commentary and you crack me up because the love scale kept going up and up and up for that adventure bike
That was a fun ride. I could tell that adventure bike looked comfy and fun for sure. Gonna have to test that bad boy.
I went with the Suzuki GSXS 750, and while there is no turning back, I like where CFMOTO is going with their line.
I loved this video! Thank you so much! Very interesting bikes. My favorite is the adventure bike! 👍
It's so awesome they gave you such a large track to properly try out the full acceleration
At the shop i work at in the midwest, CF Moto is our biggest seller and we just started putting motorcycles on sale and honestly they seem pretty awesome. I would love a CLX 700 sport with the brembos and nice handlebars
Cfmoto is doing an awesome job on their motorcycles and off road vehicle.
Adventure bike camping would be cool! Just subbed to your channel! :D
As an owner of a ADVentura this makes me happy lol...I was crossshopping the Honda CB500x and the CFmoto and what caught me was the price (and the availability...good luck finding the Honda), and an uncle who has two CFmoto SxSs that ride extremely well and feel really good. When I bought the ADVentura that CLX sport definitely caught my eye and I was very interested but decided on the ADVentura because I bought it specifically for commuting and little cruises/adventures and the wind protection appealed to me a little more...overall extremely happy with the bike so far (just under 200 miles on it), and happy my first road bike (have had dirtbikes) feels so good and is so enjoyable to ride...would love to see one on your channel! I have the blue one and yes the bags are made by Shad and are standard and very easily removed....good amount of storage in them as well.
I too had a hard time choosing between a honda and a cfmoto and choose cfmoto due its lower price compare to honda, and i was glad i choose 400nk as my frst bike 👍🏻
You get exactly what you paid for. No free lunch in this world bud.
I bought a CF Moto Adventura bike as well and I love it.
How do you like the bike after owning it for more than one year?
How do you like your ADVentura after a year of ownership? I’m considering buying one.
I’ve just purchased the Adventure bike-(650mt) here in the uk,I’m hopefully taking delivery in October,I too was impressed with the bike and not my usual style(I have a Honda CB1300 naked). I would like to see some long term reviews on the 650 👍
Also it would be cool to see some more videos on the papio maybe even a off-road build of it
Would like to see a comparison of the 650NK and the Adventura 650. Same motor with different missions, but both are worthy commuter bikes. Great complete review of the model lineup! Thanks!!
"Not that there's anything wrong w the 300..." More ci is always good 😁 that looks fun! I bet you could fit a ton of crap on a full dress adventure. Find a way to rig a fuel rotopax on it, and check out, lol. Next chapter, for sure.
I bought a 300ss simply to ride back and forth to work/gym and keep my miles off my truck. I’m getting over 70mpgs compaired to 19 in my truck
You've had sport bikes in the past but I think am adventure bike would be a nice change up for the channel, plus it's a natural extension of what you do by camping in cool places.
Addictive sound of the 650 and 700 on WOT. 👍
CF Moto is releasing a boat in the US. It might be direct to consumer.
I have owned several CF Moto products in the past and loved them. Good product and good prices.
Definitely love to see you camp from an adventure bike. Also would like to see you on a Harley Pan America and a Sporter S. Talon you make the best videos on KZhead and I love all the content. I’ve bought so many items just because of your reviews! #allblackeverything #lildumpsters.
Great vid man. I had a nk300 and it was a great wee bike 96mph. I am sure the engine is a Kawasaki klx engine Replica 👍🏻😊
Great video.. however apart from the little 125 you've left me wanting them all!
Cool video, thanks.
A camping moto series would be awesome.
Definitely the adventure bike as a long term review. Would love to find out if it's good for camping
Have a cb650r an love it, with the 4 cylinder sounds. Almost feels like a big grom
ADV Bike!! Would love to see more content with the ADV. Curious to see what the capabilities are with an ADV and if it is for me.
I'd love to see more of CLX 700 Sport
Why not try to get a long term trial from cf moto on the adventure bike, show us your adventure lifestyle of touring, camping etc, on the bike, would be great content, great alongside the van, truck and now possibly an adventure bike, Yee Haa, love the video 😜
There’s a guy that goes by the handle 700CLX on KZhead that has put 13000 miles on a 2022 CFMOTO 700CLX heritage. The only issues he’s said to have had So far is two sensors going bad. One being the reverse gear and the other something to do with the cruise control.
That's it! I'm getting a Heritage
The Adventure bike would be a great long term review bike to have.
I love that 700 sport what a lot of motorcycle for your money.
650 adventure for sure!
Fella go the adventure you know you want too plus as you said it will fit in with what you like. Also you could play with both 650 and 1050 to get a feel of wieghts and power. I am old and call these bikes road trailys best all rounders if your hip pocket only allows one bike in your life and these modern day ones look luxurious with those electric starters and windshields, arse and hand warmers aaaaaah soon 😁
I’m here for motorcycle Mondays!
I would love to see some adventure bike content
Adventure mate 😊
This video is awesome. Thank you my wallet thanks you for real. I'm right now going to purchase the bike I want the cf moto 450ss. I was going for a Yamaha r7 But just for impressions not for me . I promise you this video will help others it helped me. Thank you
I like the 650 adventure the best. I had a Kawasaki Vulcan 650s and it is so much better. Now I got the new Rebel1100 cc DCT and starting to think about trading in. The power is great on the rebel, but the ergonomics are not. It's pulling on my shoulders all the time after an our ride. Did the 650 adventure had cruise control?
Adventura bike for sure.
Adventure bike, I had a Kawasaki KLR 650 and the wind blew it all over the road.
There bringing out 700CL-X Adventure
I would love to see you test a triumph.
Now people keep calling it a 125 but clearly badged 126
Id like to see that adventure taken from Alaska to Argentina
Go ADV! Let’s see it!! 🤙
Pity you couldn't try the CFMoto 800 MT. Bought it almost a year ago and was blown away! It is basically a KTM 790 made by CFMoto. Exact same engine; 93 BHP, cruise control, heated grips, heated seats, quickshifter, etc
If he liked the 650 Aventura he would fall in love with the Ibex!
The USA didn’t get the 800 MT. WE got the 800 NK. LOVE mine.
Seems like the holosun of motorcycles.
for the ride i would take the adventure bike, would have been nice if they had the 800S and the T for you to ride
Adventure bike for sure!
Hey! My good friend Chadde lives in Minneapolis. He and Miss Tammy breed and raise Lycan Shepherds, and post walks along the river. He just took in a rescue wolfdog (high content, 90%) and it's beautiful. If you wish to see, his site is 1st508th Airborne, if you do stop by, please say hey for me. Have a GREAT 4th of July, GB.
All the bikes shown here are also sold in the philippines. They must import the cf moto mt800 in usa. The mt800 is and adventure bike with 2 variants, spoked wheel with dual sport tire and "cast" alloy wheels with street tires. For me, it looks european.
You now might wanna try CF Moto's newest sport bike, the 450SR.
Agreed, however we don’t have the 450SR in the US yet
@@Waajonwe have the 450ss
I would like to see you long term ride the adventure bike.
Try the 800MT adventure and 450SR next time. :)
It’s really more off a Road ADV bike really ( the mag rims ) o would of said a sports ADV - like the Triumph 660 Tiger . Generally 4 categories 1. Dual sport - like the old road trail bikes , like a 50/50 bike not the best on road or off road ( but will do both fairly well ) eg Suzuki DR650 , DRZ400 , Yamaha WR250R . Honda CRF 300 L . 2. Adventure sport Generally will have a 19inch front wheel with not necessary wire wheels, like Suzuki 650 , 1050 Vstrom , Triumph Tiger 850 Sport , Honda CB500 X and NX750 , BMW GS750 3. Adventure - generally 21inch front wheel Yamaha T7 , KTM 890 , Kawasaki KLR650, Honda CRF 300 Rally, 1100 African twin ,BMW GS850 , Triumph Tiger 900 and 1200 . 4. Sports touring Triumph 660 Sport , CFMOTO650 , Yamaha 700 and 900 Tracer , Kawasaki Verses , 5. Retro ADV Moto Guzzi V850tt , Triumph 1200 XC and Ducati 800 desert sled . Loads of other classes but I think 🤔 you get the idea 💡.
having ridden a adventura it was horribly lean... come up with a fix for that and it would be a great bike
The 650 naked should have came with fairings or half fairings, to look something like the 450SR, because it is extremely Fugly. I like 300ss, but it needs more power, especially for riding on the highways. The CLX sport is very nice, but prolonged riding on the highway would get old. CFMOTO needs to bring that 450SR to the US market ASAP and keep the riding position like the 300ss. The 450SR is a beautiful motorcycle, and reports say it has good power/handling. I will preorder it IF it comes to the US. Hopefully in 2023 or 2024 it will be here.
Local dealer sells these for $7K (adventura) which I was in the market for. Dug a bit deeper, they're a KTM/Suzuki knock off and have cylinder/head/ECM waterproofing issues. Ended up going with a KLR650 Adventure instead because I need to get back home from the backwoods and rather not use InReach because the bike failed.
Please explain how they are a KTM knock off when the company has made a bunch of KTM parts. Not to mention CF Moto has been all over Asia for the last 4 years and from what I have read in those countries they are very popular. Also I looked into the adventura and it did have those issues (Only certain VIN numbers) and that has been rectified.
@@monetda-introverted-guru6376 Simple, it's not KTM. I'd rather not get burnt being stuck on a BDR in a microburst w/exposure because of it.
@@Hondeer I get it.. CF moto has been hyper aggressive with there push in America. That means one of two things, either that have supreme confidence in there product or they are shooting in the dark hoping people will buy these products and then kind of fade off. Only time will tell. They have come out guns blazing. I know there is stigma with “Chinese” anything. A good product is a good product so we will find out
ADV bike, it fits the outdoor stuff you do, an its different from what you are used to.
Review the Sport
CLX Sport long term review. :D
You should try the 800mt
You should do an extensive review on the adventure bike. Take it out for a week in the mountains
We've had cf moto for a hot minute but why don't we have a papio? We have the nk150 and i think that's the lowest they have here. Probably can't be competitive in the 125 market here.
You didn't decided which one was the best... i m planing to get CF 650 Adventura for my first bike ever so hopefully it will not be mistake
What's the fluid in the container on the handlebar? Some sort of hydraulic fluid reservoir?
Yup. That's where the master cylinder is on motorcycles, for the front brakes. The right lever presses the master cylinder piston, which forces fluid down the hose and squeezes pads in the calipers against the disc/rotor.
Name fifty American personaltys who are the tru voice of reason in each decade
Should have tested the 650 GT too.
I want the 300nk for my first bike but I have to hop on the freeway and I am unsure if it can handle 75mph
Just got a 300nk about a few weeks ago. Hit 77mph on the freeway and felt like I could hit 80mph but I was close to red line if I did. I'm 6ft 235lbs.
It's a nice bike but they are all under powered but the the asking prize for CF moto bikes and all the factory equipment that comes with the bikes is a serious consideration to buy.
How tall are you for these bikes?
5’10
@@TalonSei being awhile back now, do you recall which bike was the tallest for you? I am 6'4. Was considering between a CFMoto or Kawasaki.
Probably the adventura
@@TalonSei Awesome, they are going for only $5000 new 2 hours away from me.
Iv got a shop in georgia. And have been a cf-moto dealer for 6 years this year. And 10-10 would not recommend any of there products to anyone that has the money or experience for a better quality machine. Out of all the Chinese brand bikes they are the best for sure but at the end of the day it's still Chinese quality.
So if they are so bad why don't you drop the brand. I am curious as a 300NK owner who actually got a lemon and still loves the brand. Buying one used is difficult because people just don't sell them once they have them here in Australia. So yeah am curious what is so bad you wouldn't recommend but good enough to carry the brand anyway?
Adventure bike!
The 650 naked is a direct clone of the kawasaki er-6n.
I'd be pissed at the guy passing me on the right.
Adventure bike 💪
I wonder when the 450 sport bike's gonna be released worldwide. That should be fun.
Apparently early January in Australia. Can pre-order now and I want one soooo bad🤣
@@velvetandchester shouldnt take too much longer for nz then
I’d like to see them do a 700SS or even a 650SS.
450ss, and 800 nk new this year
bought the clx 700 heritage and after 300km the bike was not starting. I managed to somehow start the bike after 500m of pushing then drove it to the dealership. They changed the battery and told me that was the issue, i now have 700 on the bike, it starting to do the same, honestly this is sad, for sure it's not the battery and something else is busted but yea...i now regret buying it instead of a suzuki or kava (not that big of a difference in the $ comparison here in Romania for what i was looking for), but i just loved the looks of it (on brown), i just hope that they will fix it...
Did you ever figure out what the issue was?
@@monetda-introverted-guru6376 yep, clutch was too tense and when i moved the bike in 1st gear with clutch pressed, this issue appeared due to misalignment in the motor bcs of the clutch, it did not start (in theory) but in practice, now it works fine
@@credentzu glad you got it figured out. Thanks for the update.
adventure with cases and offroad wheels
Adventure bike and camping.
Interesting and like the price point but wouldn’t own a Chinese bike. Quality and dependability would be a huge concern. Japanese all the way for me. Would love to have an adventure bike though.
Newer KTM actually have CFMOTO engines :D that explains the reliability track record of a KTM
@@mannyechaluce3814 Hah, didn’t know that. Too bad cuz the KTM’s lower end “adventure”, enduro bikes look like a lot of fun. Though I’d prob get the Honda, Yamaha or Kawasaki version anyway.
Europe gets a 4 year warranty and the USA 2 year?. They probably sell more in the US with 4 year warranty
You are a bit wrong about that. In Europe it doesnt work like that. Almost every country in Europe has their own official importer thats responsible for making deals with dealerships and organizing the distribution. The prices and the warranties are up to them to configure and not to cfmoto. Almost every country in Europe has different prices and warranty policies. You think of Europe as a single country, which is not.
From my research CFMoto was, for a long time, the Chinese arm of KTM in that country. It's obvious that they copied a lot of the styling queues from their association with KTM. Apparently pairing up with CFMoto was a prerequisite from the government for KTM to enter the Chinese market. Me and a buddy test rode a couple of them and found that the throttle and power delivery was a little sketch. We were told that it can be cleaned up with the right tuner. We both felt that it should be cleaned up by the factory before being sold as a new bike. There are plenty of better bikes out there, used or otherwise, around the same price point.
Haven’t seen any of their motorcycles in California yet.
Coming to CA in 2023.
Are you sure with that EVERY? :)))
