- You know how I said that I was done buying bikes? Yeeaaa…that was a lie (again) hahah BUT it’s for a good reason! This honestly has to be the BEST deal I’ve ever found on a used motorcycle!
I’ve been SUPER impressed with this CFMOTO 700CL-X so far, and for how cheap I got it for, it really can’t be beat! Leave some comments and let me know what content you want to see with the new bike, any questions you have about it, mods you want to see me do, etc. I'm sure it also won't be long before you see @KomotoVlogs giving it a try...
Hope y’all are as stoked as I am on the new bike and uh…maybe I’ll just stop lying to myself and admit that this probably isn’t the last bike we buy this year 😂🤘🏻

We got my wife a left over and discounted CFMOTO 300nk to learn on. Still brand new and priced down to 2799 with a 2 year warranty. Has tft dash and phone connectivity. Great learner bike for her and a great price. No issues in the 6 months we’ve had it. They’ve definitely surprised me.
Glad to hear you guys have had such a good experience! Those 300NK’s look super rad 🤘🏻
I wonder if that phone connectivity retains anything and connects to Wi-Fi to "phone home" if you will whenever it gets in range of Wi-Fi again 🤔.
Doesn't matter I guess you you're using like TikTok on a Hauewei phone or watching BilliBilli videos, heh.
Anyways, unless you're a government contractor it doesn't matter too much, so what a great find either way. Dope ass bike to start out on.
@@MotoDash1100lol I’m not really concerned about it either way. We all have smart phones nowadays no virtual privacy so by connecting to a device that’s already tracked…won’t really give them any info they don’t already have
Nothing makes me happier than a new bike for Burch!!
Ya know what…same, honestly 🤔😂🤘🏻
I found out two months ago that a new bike for me makes me happier than a new bike for Burch.... but new bikes for him are a close second. 😜
Sick! I've been wanting to learn about these, of all TH-camrs im glad its you who gets to display it to us
I own a 450SS and it is amazing.
When you and Nina are done playing with it and making content, sell it for your FTR down payment and do a video series on the comparison, upgrades, differences between the two.... you've already commented on how much they look alike.
You read my mind! 😎🤘🏻
this is a fine bike, got a day of test riding it, two days later I am at the dealer, just bought it, now waiting thil it arrives. this is my first bike, on eco it is fine riding, need to do high way and so on, so nice to have a little bit of power left. hoop to have a lot of fun on it.
It's the perfect day for a Life of Burch video, 70 degrees not a cloud in the sky. Low wind, bikes on every corner....
My local dealership has so many of these. I almost bought one, but I went with the scl500
As rad as this bike has been so far, I can confidently say you made the right call with the SCL500! 🙌🏻🤘🏻
FR you got me with the thumbnail. I was thinking, Burch just found a deal on a FTR 🤣🤣
Sheeeit I wish I could find an FTR for $2,500!! 🤯
I have a lifan kp mini150 (grom/crf150) clone. $1800 shipped to my house and I've put 3k miles on it with absolutely no issues. It's been a blast.
You need Cruise control so you can smoke cigarettes on your way to the iPhone factory 😂
Or a bike with DCT so you can just smoke with your left hand.
I’m new to your channel. I’m following you from South Africa. I like your content bru 🤜🏽🤛🏽
I own a 700cl-x. I was really excited to see you got one. If you really wanna let her rip, keep it above 7K RPM. The bike is tuned really docile under 7K then TAKES OFF over 7K. I switched my headlight out for a traditional aftermarket, got the raised seat, and designed and 3d printed a fender eliminator. I LOVE this bike. Love it way more than my Harley Streetbob that cost nearly 3x more. I plan on getting the tune to the ECU, as it adds around 10% peak power, but really fleshes out the mid range. Additionally, this bike is tuned really lean, so getting it flashed helps with engine temps as well as a big boost to power.
TONS of fun! Enjoy it.
P.S. I also bought the same levers and hit them with a dremel to make them fit.
Is your gear indicator screwed up like the one in the video?
This is a sick buy! Can’t wait to see some content on this. I’ve looked the bike up a few times & there just isn’t much out there yet.
Damn another new bike and envious yet again of these great finds you snag. Still living that Navi life and gods seem to be hell bent on something eating anything i try to save to join the big boys bike club.
im happy jersey got rid of bike inspection a long time ago. none of my bikes would ever pass lol
You should wrap this thing black, give it like a more aggressive/ftr look.
Bike looks awesome. Im thinking of gerting one. Is it possible to remove the x shaped casing around the headlight?
The engine is a stroked out ER6 engine that CFMoto allegedly bought the tooling for from Kawasaki back in 2012. The peaky feeling is due to the cams.
seen a video a few days ago about the gear indicator fix, look it up.
Can confirm: that bike looks good, sounds good, and rides good in the twisties.
You seem to be the guy to ask. My question is have you ever tried to put a regular sized brake lever for the back brakes. On the Navi
I believe dealers all over the country have backstock 2023's because nobody's buying these. They're literally selling them new for $3200.
I have been watching them on Facebook Marketplace. They sit FOR MONTHS because nobody will touch them. They have to be 40% or more cheaper than its competitors to sell.
I was trying to talk to you into a used SV 650. You like the Indian, you like the rebel. you like the 500 twin. I think you should try the little Susie SV 650. See if you can test drive it.
Great video Burch !!! 🤙🏽
I gotta say man, I've yet to be disappointed by a new bike you've bought. Keep up the great vids :)
Sounds like you have great taste in bikes then! Thanks dude!! 😁🤘🏻
@@LifeOfBurch I couldn't agree more 🤙
Wouldnt it make more sense for Nina to ride the SCL 500 since its so similar to the rebel?
I’d love to see a vid of you scrolling marketplace and giving thoughts on different bikes and their prices. Amazing find!
Ooo that would actually be sick to do as a TikTok series or like a monthly livestream! 😳🤔
How does bro find deals i can’t find none here in AL
got a CFMOTO but really wanted an Indian FTR
Where could you find an awesome ripper for $2500?!?
Sweet commuter…
Maybe the gear shift indicator issue come from that bended shift selector? Maybe some detector is broken or displaced?
That’s what I thought originally, but when I looked into it I saw it’s actually a pretty common issue. The gear indicator sensor touches another sensor inside the transmission and sometimes that connection gets messed up. Some people have been good just taking it out and cleaning the tip, others have had to replace the sensor. Not a huge deal.
$2500 No way!! LUCKY!!!
dam for that price is a freakin steal
As someone who has been riding a 2009 CFMoto V-5 for the last few years, I find this interesting. I would say CFMoto is the top of the line for china bikes, but that doesn't make them good, just not a disaster. While I would have bought that bike at that price, thats about what its worth in my opinion. I would not call it a deal. But my experience is with their older bikes. I am being told the new ones are better. But I am being told that by people that also say they are new to the US market an my bike does not even exist. TH-cam is full of people being given free bikes to spout talking points, so I have to take everything they say with a lot of salt. You on the other hand buy your bikes an tell it like it is once the new wears off. So I cant wait for that video.
CFMotos problems. Ease of maintenance is of low importance to them. Dont be shocked if you find a key part is not accessible . Parts supply is also not something they care about, especially after production ends. I can buy parts from Honda for bikes built in the 80s. Most companies promise parts availability for at least 10 years. My V-5 stopped production in 2014. Parts look to have stopped being produced at the same time. Mind you they used a lot of standard parts so only bike specific parts are an issue. Aftermarket parts also dried up rather fast. The other thing to remember is they are also cutting corners for profit. They are just better at hiding where.
Awesome deal on a good looking bike. Nice
These are very interesting Bikes, curious to see what you do with it!
Yea dude I’m excited to start making it my own! 🙌🏻
@@LifeOfBurch definitely pimp the bike. You might like it dare I say better than the Indian. Better gas, mileage and no worries about it getting ripped off.
I have a CLX700, I've had it for about a year. It is my first bike, I've had no issues with it at all, its a great bike!
CFMoto's manufacturer makes parts for KTM. They have the rights to develop these parts for their own bikes now.
are you sure it has traction control?
Burch!! Awesome video man.. CF Moto bikes are heavily discounted/cheap in Cali because no one is buying them. I was seriously thinking of having a CF as my next bike.. Would you say the quality is at least decent??
Very decent, Some people not wanting to take a chance. Great bikes my 450SS is faster than the Ninja 400, 451cc(500), and CBR500R, will blow past a Yamaha R3, and Suzuki has nothing to compare it to.
Plus: I think it will out perform the Aprilia 457RS which is still less HP than the 450SS.
@@JessicaSimonson1976 Good to hear. The dealers in my area just picked up this brand and they aren’t moving at all… they are discounting them at almost 40% off!!
@@Harambes_Homeboy Americans took a chance on Japanese brands post going to war with them. We never went to war with China, but people still think bad about China. I for one love their bikes, and built a believer out of me.
@@JessicaSimonson1976 interesting and valid point!
@@Harambes_Homeboy need to advertise them better
Having too many bikes doesn’t seem like a bad problem to have so you get a pass from me 😎
umm ok i havent watched you before but your a cyclecane guy lol
Man, is this gonna be the death of your Grom?
Lol what? You couldn’t have picked two more opposite bikes 😂 The XR and Navi are more of a threat to the Grom than this is.
But side note, I definitely need to get out on the Grom soon! 🤔
Needs a coffmans lol
Young and never have too many bikes lol
Essentially a Ktm with Bosch electronics cf moto are good
these chinese bikes have all the quarks, but none of them function how it should be.
nooo, not a chinese bike....
Call the Police …you stole that CF Moto !
Congratulations!
CL is simply a Chinese company that threads the line between copyright infringement when it comes to copying other R&D from companies they are jocking off. But that doesn't mean the motorcycles aren't worth SOMEONE trying.
I'm not lol but it gets people on two wheels.
Copyright infringement? Lmao wut. Just wait til you find out about Kia and Hyundai 😂
@@LifeOfBurch What about Kia and Hyundai? Hyundai is a majority shareholder of Kia, so it's obvious they're going to be sharing a lot 😜.
@@_nopestr he was saying CFMOTO copies other companies, I’m saying that’s what Kia/Hyundai’s entire brand(s) are built off of.
@@LifeOfBurch Copying design is more of a Chinese domain. Kia and Hyundai are Korean, and I've never really thought of them as copycats. I don't think they outright copied anyone. Especially lately, as they've invested in European design centers, and actually started to look kinda good. Besides, they didn't have anyone to copy when it comes to stupid cost cutting like skipping immobiliser on the US market, and getting a lot of shit for it 🤣🤣🤣.
CF Moto has partnered with KTM, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and bought European ATV Brand Goes, they built a plant in Mexico to support North American Market. Looking to expand dealer networks, and build reputation.....more than what others have done lately.
hah gay
I know a dealership out here in Florida that can beat any deal out there on these CFMOTO's good people to do business with, without the BS. I have the 22 nk300 it's not great but you can't beat it for the price especially if you get a deal.
I’m curious about their 450 sport bike. Seems like it would be an awesome weekend warrior on back roads
It is amazing handles cornering at 50-60 mph on curves marked 30 mph. A dream: plus handles rain, wind, hail, icy roads, and much, much, much, more ....lol
@@JessicaSimonson1976 now I just need them to take the drivetrain and put it in a sport quad and I’ll buy it lol 😂
You got lucky, everything I find on Craigslist or marketplace in our area, I live about 30 minutes from you, in Glen Burnie, everything that I find is junk. Congratulations
Most of the really really good stuff is gone within a 12hr period. You have to be pretty much constantly scrolling to get good deals.
Happy for ya. I would not personally ever choose a CF Moto. Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Indian and MAYBE a harley is about all I would consider. I hear CF Moto is trying to come out with a cruiser. Still wouldn't buy one, but they appear to be really trying to sell bikes. Given your buy, I can't see why anyone would consider new. You think it's a screaming deal, I think you paid what it was really worth, which isn't really that much. Until they ever build a REAL dealership network, these bikes are IMO, just like Amazon bikes. If they ever get a network, they will charge just like everyone else. So then what will the appeal be if they are not dirt cheap? To be cheap, there are sacrifices being made.
When I was on the west coast, CF Moto was like Benelli ... you knew it was a MC brand but never saw one.
But in the centre of Canada, you'll see CF Moto ads more than Honda, etc.
But here, quads and side-by-side UTVs likely outnumber bikes 10 to 1, and CF Moto has lower price 4-wheelers that have earned respect as solid machines. But few 2-wheelers.
Like, since bringing my 2024 XR150L home last week, I've got as many bikes in the garage as my welder buddy down the block (2), who's known for having the most motorcycles around! 😅
I have a 700 CLX heritage, which has the nice bronze wheels, and I can honestly say that the eco vs sport difference is both audible and apparent. eco mode almost feels like it limits the rpm artificially, but not in a way that feels bad or unexpected. Sport mode has more of a throaty tone and likes to wind out all the way, and it absolutely feels like it pulls substantially harder past 5k RPM. I went from a CRF250 Rally straight up to one of these and ripping it for the first time felt like a rollercoaster. Also it runs somewhere around 13.3 on the drag strip with a good launch!
Houston Powersports is listing the 2023 at $5499 right now but at $2500 you split it in half? It is a good looking bike
although I don't know anything about the manufacturer? Great look. good luck
"The 'Wish' version of the FTR" 😂 That one got me. Looked at these for a bit before getting a Rebel 500. But I'm thinking of an Indian for my next bike and the FTR has my interest...
Can you make a used bike buying guide, I’ve had my low rider ST for 3 years and I want a 2nd lighter smaller bike for when I don’t want to take the Harley out, and have been thinking of going the used route
I think this would be good for Nina. I am a big believer in ABS and I am guessing her Rebel doesn't have ABS. Peace from here in Connecticut.
Good bike. I got a clx700 sport and it's my favorite so far
GOODNESS! That's cheaper than a Grom! Closer to z650 hp. The CBR650 is more like 94 hp.
i knew riding on that indian was gonna make you get something like this. soooo.... you gonna sell any of your other bikes now? asking for a friend! :)
Good deal on it. I've been looking at these since they came out. My local dealer had these for 3999 over the winter.
Damn that’s a smokin deal for a brand new one, especially depending on dealer fees! 😳
we could just keep buys and flipping bikes..... 12 a year bro.
Don't know if you've said it already, but where'd you get that camera for the polaroids?
CFMoto (KTM) got podium in Moto3! It won't be long till they're super mainstream imo
As soon as you said CFMoto I dipped. Check your engagement stats, I bet I’m not the only one.
Buying it 2nd makes more sense than new, by what you paid for it - the depreciation is a bit sketchy.
Damn! I’ve gotten some great deals on motorcycles but this is beyond!
Please go buy these bikes everyone, so I can get the Japanese bikes cheaper. Thanks!
My first bike was a cfmoto 300nk. Cfmoto has been making good bikes
dont worry about it...ive got 4..lol And its more content..!!
You need to remove the washer underneath the gear sensor it is unnecessary
I will NEVER be done buying bikes! Neither are you.
wow that looks cool..!! And $2500..?!
Congrats again Mike.
Thanks brotha!! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
hot stapler to fix the fender
It reminds me of a Honda grom
Cool, bike nice find
It's damn ugly
I was recently shopping for a middleweight naked, and the CFMoto 450NK was a top contender. The tech is shockingly good, and the ride is perfectly adequate (sound was exceptional). I ended up buying a Honda CB500F instead for two main reasons: If I go to sell the bike in 2 years, ths Honda will sell for MUCH more than the CFMoto. And, Honda has a stronger aftermarket.
It's hard to shake that "Chinese bike" stigma, but these bikes are seriously great for the money! Reliability and parts availability are to be determined...
For anybody that buys one they better plan on keeping it for years and or expect to lose 50% when they try to sell it regardless of the condition its in.
I thought my next bike was going to be that new 800nk. But ever since your FTR video. I’d rather save the extra dough, ride my current bike for a few more years and drop the money on a brand now FTR S
There are alot of electrical issues on this bike. There is no dealer network. You are on your own. For the price, this is a deal. Otherwise, I would never buy a new one. The last owner probably got sick of the bike acting different every time he rode it. You should start a video series called 'CF Moto Fix Number One' through whatever as you fix the gremlins this bike was made with. Still a real nice looking bike.
Untrue network has grown they even built a plant in Mexico to support North American Market, parts are available E-bay, Amazon, Ali-Express. CF Moto has partnered with KTM, Kawasaki, and Yamaha.
Definitely do an exhaust ASAP!! Those parallel twins sound nice
Hey Mike, first beautiful bike for $2500, second I am a little pissed at you... you are costing me money as it's your fault I got the riding bug again so I am headed to town today or tomorrow and possibly buying a CFMoto CL ! LMFAO Love your channel, keep up the great videos, Steve
Love to see a new bike in the mix, looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Side note, how do you afford insurance on all those bikes!? In Canada, that would easily run up to a grand per month in premiums.
I have never taken those corners so fast. Holy moly. But love those backroads. Congratz on the fancy bike! Just need a nice big windshield. =P
Dude, for 2.5k that's the same amount I spent to get a 250cc approx 3 years ago now.
So yeah, no doubt bro that this bike for 2.5k is a dope steal.
Nothing but garbage deals on marketplace by me and anything that’s dirt cheap is missing a title (probably stolen) being sold out of Chicago.
Hey I have an idea if you sell all your bikes except for the rebel 1100 and your girls bike you should be able to get the Indian or a good used one and give your rebel to your girl lol she ready for an upgrade lol kinda a good plan lol
I did my MSF course on a Papio SS. It was a fun little bike, I’d definitely consider riding another bike from CF Moto.
oh yea. been eyeing this for a while. ride more of this! I need more info about this. though not so sure about the resale value on these
Awesome deal!
Just accept you have an addiction. We're here for it.
This is my 1st bike and I’m so happy you got it. Not a lot of people that I follow have it and any modifications would be great to see. I did just minor stuff to mine but would love to see what others do to it. 🥰🥰🥰
…this thing rips👀👀👀
This made me laugh. Exactly what I say to my bf when he says, you’d love this bike, you can handle it. It RIPS!
Ya, at this point I’m more into “ that bike doesn’t have enough balls”
That’s my speed!
So the first owner dropped it once then sold it for $2500. What a steal. Congrats burch 🎉
Nah, Chinese brand so it's got very bad resale value
