How's the bike do on the motorway with the 15t sprocket? Looking at ordering one for my winter commuter bike but felt the stock config was a little weak on the motorway trying to pull over 115kph. Cruising speed here is 130kph so would appreciate your insights.

Thanks and good to hear. Just dropped a deposit on this "beasty" here in the States site unseen (never done that before). However, iI figured that f my mates down under think she's up to the task, I'm in. She should make a good stable mate for my 990 Adventure From Rainbow Beach to the Whitsunday's , I've enjoyed exploring your exciting country multiple times. Next time it will be on a bike. Cheers from the Mountains of Utah.

everyone says good things about the cfmoto

Another review with a subframe filled with water. I've seen a number of reviews from Australia where they took those subframe members off and dumped a lot of water out of the frame. It makes one wonder where else it is collecting water.

Really had fun watching your vid. Thanks a lot!

Happy with the seat/bars/pegs triangle at your 6'2" ?

Can I ride it at 85mph on the highway for 2 hours to my dirt without blowing it up or vibrating to death?

Great video. I do have some questions, mate. Do you think the bike is comfortable enough to tour on? I am planning to go on a 5-country tour. The journey will be mostly on paved road, but will cover hills, dunes and beaches about 25 thousand KMs in total, I'll cover about 600-800Km per day. Is the engine buzzy at 100-120kph? What is the fuel consumption like? cheers

Having just the 1000 km service get done on my 45üMT, the only thing I am a bit wondering is, that the engine temperature so often reaches 90 °C which switches the fan/radiator on. Even today on a 12°C early automn day in Europe.... Had many bikes and brands, but never experienced this in a similar way, means so often having the need the fan to jump in. Anyone observing this as well?

2:32 - What size Rhinowall bags are those? 3:48 - Does the width of the CC not mean your hand is "cramped" against the edge of the handle - hurts my palm. It does on my bike ;(.

Hello from across "the ditch" here in New Zealand. Appreciate an honest no bs review!! Very interested to see how good these things are going to be long term but can't expect to much of anything first gen I guess. Another Kiwi has posted a review/ride of these here and it seemed to do okay off-road. Thanks again for sharing good unbiased real world review-if any country is going to test a machine's capability your homeland is definitely going to!! Cheers mate ,have fun and ride safe 😎

Hello, this is very important. Do the wheels have inner tubes or not ?????????????????

Really interesting video,subbed from South Wales(the original)😁👍.

Great video,what size is your trailer?

Love my 450MT - cracker bike. Sold my 1050XT and haven't looked back. Perfect for the trails, perfect for full days and overnighters. Go well mate!

What's it like with 15t sprocket as i ride on hume hway for 35ks to work then 35k home plus vic high country on weekends

Im really interested in this motorcycle as well and just like you i am about 188 cm. How´s the seating with that saddle because i think the standard seat is far to low for us. Did you get increased comfort as well?

Thanks for the video. From the manual it seem that the dash has the tires pressure & temp display option, but I don't know which TPMS need to be used on the valves.

How do you find the single front disc and caliper for pulling up a 195kg bike + rider + gear as most 200kg + bike are running twin disc front ends ?

Great video mate, What panniers are you 2 using?

Got my order in but still not here in the uk nice to see it’s standing up to the punishment carry on

Would love those tires! Could you post what they are? Thanks

Great review, do you still bring it for service to keep warranty? Because it's not an expensive bike, are you doing it yourself? .

Very detailed review mate 👍

Good, honest review. Love it, thanks.

Gday from Burnett Heads. Just picked mine up last week and love it. Looking to change the tyres too. Liked and subscribed 👍

Im just waiting for the big bois that reach 50k km or 100k now. I know i won't reach that much in 3years warranty but Atleeast it will give me a peace of mind that i would know the possible problems my first bigbike upgrade from 150cc scooter is lol.

Doesn't the taller seat have extra padding? How is the comfort worse?

no matter what i will never buy bike car smartphone computer or any thing valluable item from china. because i dont trust chinese manufacturing. they produce low quality products. i hv use many china made headphone and every time one side stops working.

Not really understanding why if this one is ok youpl buy another? Why not just keep this one and add stuff to it?

Thanks for the video! Can you share the link or brand of the cruise control system and TPMS?

Mi like desde España 🇪🇦, el control de crucero no lo encuentro en eBay, tiene enlace, yo llevo piñón de 16 y espero la centralita para poner una ecu de 52cv

If you keep both the cardo and your bike connected to your phone you won’t have that problem. When the music switches over to the bike just hit the pause button and then the play button on your cardo and it switches it back over. You will also be able to still use the buttons on the controls to change the songs. You also won’t have to disconnect and reconnect your cardo to your phone like you have been doing. I have the Cfmoto 450ss and that’s how I get around it

Do you have any oil consumption by engine ? Or u dont have to fill up engine from service to service ?

I don't listen to anything in a car, certainly no need on a bike.

Is the exhaust heat shield home made or off the shelf?

Thanks for the videos around the 450mt buddy ! 👌

Unfortunately I picked mine up and had it for two days and then had to send it back under warranty. I’m hoping to get it back very shortly

Just put a deposit on one. Same as you I’ll replace/ upgrade stuff as needed 🍻

Delighted to see you're stiil pleases with it after 10K. I've 5 more months to wait for delivery into Ireland, so its a reassuring video. 40K valve clearance inspection surprises me. That sounds more like a 4 cylinder Japanese bike. If 40K is appropriate it's another impressive Engineering element to this first gen model. Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching them.

Having watched lots of reviews on this bike, I now know why they call it the “Unicorn Bike”. It’s because they don’t exist! Zero stock here in Perth, WA.

Thanks for the great review Derek.

Living the dream mate. Thanks for the real world, unsponsored review XD. Might swap my old Transalp to a 450MT soonish. Do they go a about the same powerwise?

Good info.Tnx

Will you be upgrading to the new 800MTX?

What brand is the side luggage rack?

Derek, save your old retired arms and ditch the hand pump for a couple of co2 canisters/cartridges and attachment that will fit easily under the seat.

Hi Derek, I'm in Hervey Bay. Just bought a cf450mt. Would love to catch up for a ride. Let me know. Cheers

Also mate those rinnowalk soft panniers on your mates bike, are they the 48 litre combo or the 28 litre combo?

Mate do you consider a radiator guard as a neccesasry for riding outback?
