@@ridingwithlucas1745 Ya, the 4 seater is a big change from the 2 seat chassis but it really is a ton of fun being able to get the family out together in one machine. Especially while the kids are younger. I'm super excited about the adventures we will be able to have in this thing.
Thanks man. Glad to hear you agree. As I said in the video, I’m sure many people here will agree for the most part. It’s our job to protect them from all the brainwashing going on around us.
Thanks for checking out the video! This one is more laid back than the usual content but it's exciting in it's own ways. We are super excited about our new 4 seater and I have a ton of plans to build this thing into an awesome family trail machine. I can't wait to hear what you all think. I know a lot of you have families of your own so you can likely relate to a lot of the family aspects in this video. It's exciting being able to share our off-road experiences as a family and share them with you. The next video I'll be posting will be going into detail on why we chose this specific machine. The video after that will be super action packed and as we will be taking the Battle Wagon and other machines up Pea Gravel hill. The trail condition of Pea Gravel were as rough as we'd ever seen them and that resulted in quite a bit of carnage for multiple machines in the group. Stay tuned, there will be more uploads coming from this trip as well as other adventures.
Thank you Joe. I'm glad you enjoy the content. I know a large portion of the people viewing are just like us. A ton of us have families we love and we can all relate to moments like these. I'm blessed to have a wonderful family like this and I'm lucky I get to share some of these moments with so many other great people.
Yup, it’s our job to raise them right and expose them to these things. At the end of the day your kids turn out the way you raise them. It’s awesome to see so many people out on the trails these days with their families. Ride safe out there guys!!
I love how in the first videos with the zforce you basically hated it and slowly you learned to love it and now look you, got a second one ! Love it man keep it up
Ya, I promised to keep an open mind when I got the first machine and I was skeptical. I didn’t trust it and I was waiting for it to fail. I drive that 2022 HO EX like a rental and beat on it harder than my rzr usually and it’s holding together so far. As a result I took a chance on this one. If this one works well and holds together it’s not a fluke and I’ll comfortably be able to say that CF Moto is making units worth owning if they suit your specific needs. It’s fun trying new things, especially when you go into it with low expectations and get pleasantly surprised with the opposite.
I live 30 mins from where you stayed at its nice to see someone else appreciate the beauty we have here! Awesome videos keep it up! Also congratulations on your son!
we have one with stage 3 clutch, ECU tuned, 32s, and 2in lift. my son likes riding it a lot. we do a lot of the southern trails at hatfield, as we have a shop in Northfork W Va. it is actually surprising the places it goes.
Right ON .... enjoy the time with your family that's what it's all about. The Gen2 4 seater will do you well CF moto has come far 1800KM on my new 950 HO EX and not 1 issue outside of a ripped CVBoot ..... Loving it so far.
Man, when I was 3 my dad bought me a new 1986 Honda TRX 70. I used to ride the hell out of that machine with no helmet. Coolest part yet, I still have that machine and now my 3 year old rips through the trails on it. Damn thing runs like if it’s brand new. You can’t kill those old timer Honda carburetor engines. I have a 2021 General XP4. To me, riding with my family is all I care about the most. Congratulations on the new unit. Thanks for letting me share my story.
Not sure how I missed this episode....but I wish we would have seen it before we met up with you at Crashapalooza. You don't ever have to apologize or explain to your viewers about the decisions you make for your family and the equipment you choose to outfit you and your family with. Unfortunately Val (shirt sniffer)😂 and myself met 10 years ago when her son and my son were much older than your children are. To add to that we got into the sport of offroading a little late in our lives. We thought this was one of the most awesome content episodes we've watched of yours and we've watched a lot. You and Blake both have beautiful families....it was awesome watching you guys out enjoying the trails and scenery. Hopefully one day before Val and I get too old we can join you guys for a ride. Til then happy trails....you guys are both doing it right.
Thanks so much Jimmy. It was wonderful meeting you and Val last weekend at Crashapalooza 4.0. I am very lucky to have a healthy family and I know Blake feels as blessed as I do about his. It's wonderful spending time together like this with our families. Off-roading brings so many people together and it's such a great pass time. I'm sure we can meet up on the trails. I'm planning to host quite a few group rides over the next year or so. You guys should come out to one. I'm very lucky I get to bring my kids into riding so early in life and Kseniia and I value every moment of it. We will cherish these memories even more in the future. If you guys enjoyed this one then you will likely enjoy my next upload, it's a family related video also. Say hi to Val, I hope her shirt is smelling ok... LOL! Edit: as for the apologizing thing, in todays world I feel that sometimes I need to explain things in a bit more detail as there are some people who have trouble reading between the lines. It's not an apology as much as additional context, however, even with that some people just wont understand. Can't make everyone happy, I'm ok with that.
You and Blake are both doing it right. Hoping to ride with you both someday before these old bones won't allow it. Safe travels and happy trails to ya.
I agree with you 100%. I had 2 of my grandsons on quads since they were 3 years old. We have been to a lot of different riding areas together since they became teen agers. It's a great family activity.
That’s awesome to get out with your family. The new machine looks great. Many years of fun ahead of you. I purchased a pioneer 700-4 from my folks . The folding passenger seats are great for kids or smaller adults but I would not be comfortable at 6’1’’ for a longer drive . It’s a good trade off as it’s available when we need extra seats but still a full size cargo bed for most of our use.
Ya, riding with the family is another level of fun. The pioneer is a cool unit. What I like about the z-force is that even at 6’4 I fit in the back pretty decent. But yours is much more practical As a multi use vehicle. Ride safe!
Hey Julian, we met at the Sportsman show (Jason from U-Haul). I can totally relate to your family based content. Like I was telling you at the sportsman show I let my son have My ZForce 950 and I bought a 4 seater Ranger. Now we can all go out. As soon as we are out of city limits the helmets come off and the freedom begins. Thanks for the great content!
Hey man. Great to hear from you and I’m happy you relate to the family type content. I think a large majority of us can relate to this stuff. Most of us have families and nothing is more satisfying than enjoying time and having fun with your kids. It’s why we have kids after all. The Ranger is a sweet unit! Glad you’re out there enjoying it. Hope to cross paths with you on the trails one day.
My boys are now 23 and 25 brought them up riding snow and dirt here in Ontario Canada 90% of my riding is with them now. We are heading to minden off-road park June 23 Can’t wait 👍
That’s absolutely awesome. How can you beat that. Your best riding buddies are your kids… truly living the dream man. Ride safe out there and hopefully we can all cross paths on the trails in the future.
I personally believe that long term a 35 is too much tire for that chassis. I feel a 32 works well on that machine. Blake has removed the 35’s and gone back to a 32s since the last few videos. It’s the same reason I choose to stay on 32s on the Battle Wagon.
Cool! Ya, that place is huge. I've driven by it many times over the years. I think industrial facilities like that one are super fascinating. What's that massive pile of light blue stuff that looks like road salt?
Ya Blake’s new 2 seater looks killer and he’s still doin a lot more upgrades. Check out his channel to see the progress. Yes, when you go up in tire size the Speedo readings go out of whack a bit. Best way to figure it out is to use a gps and then figure out how much it’s out.
Nice video. I'm local to rrb and that's our favorite place luckily it's only 1.5 hours away. Congrats on the new ride I have a 4 seater canam and ride with my family also. I explain to my kids how fortunate they are to be able to do these things a lot of kids would never get to experience this stuff.!!
Thanks man. We have been enjoying the new ride so far. Ya, I constantly remind our daughter how truly lucky she is. You’re right, only a small portion of kids get to experience the stuff our kids do. Exposing them to the great outdoors and Powersports provides a lot of transferable skills they will benefit from in the future.
Nice!!!! Man i have such a love hate relationship with the drive to go riding. It's like I love the road trip but at the same I just want to teleport right to the trails
The comments about how you raise your children. Please continue to say that and yell it louder for those in the back of the bus that can’t hear you. Ride on Brother
Glad you can relate to my thoughts. Too many people out there trying to tell us how to raise our kids. Judging by how our society looks and functions the "accepted" or recommended methods of today don't seem to be working very well. I think everyone needs to push back.
Memories are all we every get to keep so might as well make them good. I know you can relate. Hope you and the family are doing well. I really want a motor home... I just can't swing it at this time budget wise.
That’s awesome. Same way I want to raise my kids. My daughter is on a 110 now, she’s 8. She loves it and also has a RZR 200. I’ll get my little boy on an ATV as soon as he’s ready too. He just got a little electric ATV for his 1st birthday and loves it.
I’m going to take a guess but probably value. When you’re carrying the most precious cargo you have, there’s probably no need for any top of the line performer. I guess we’ll hear next video.
That’s the best way to raise them man. I’m doing the same as you can see. So many kids these days just live inside and I feel we are really gonna give our kids a big advantage when they get older by exposing them to more things like this.
Well love your videos for the most part but Hamilton is the Detroit of Canada naw mate, my family has much history in Hamilton going back more than a century and I have never heard that one. Steel town is what it is or lunch box town But I live on the east coast now so what do I know LOL. Anyway safe drive for you and the family and have a good time.
Glad you enjoy the videos. Good for you for getting outta onterrible man. Hamilton is a compete dump now, specifically the inner city and east end. Worse than it’s ever been man. Often they call it the armpit of Ontario and the Detroit reference is one I’ve heard commonly as Detroit too was a powerhouse of industrial manufacturing back around the time Hamilton was steel city and booming. Both cities have had a similar fate with the heavy industry and manufacturing sectors leaving. Downtown Hamilton these days is a wasteland for the most part. Full of homeless people and people struggling with mental illness and addiction. Add to that the unrealistic housing costs and ludicrous taxes and there isn’t much good here. My comment isn’t intended to cast any judgements on the homeless population or those struggling with various vices in life. I feel many of them likely have complex stories which led them to where they are and I think generally when cities and communities crumble like this the majority of the blame falls on the government and the “decision makers” not the individual citizens. I have grown up in and around Hamilton too. I remember what it was like 25 years ago and I’ve heard many stories of what it was like 40 years ago. Those times are far gone. I’m ready to get away too. What’s going on now is just bonkers. The outskirts and rural areas are good but we pay for all the dysfunction in the cities core.
Glad you enjoyed it. There’s a wide mix of oriel out on the trails but even factoring in those you mention generally speaking most the people we come across are great.
My kid had a mouth full of mud at that age now he’s 14 and still full of mud😂😂😂hey you not too far I’m in fl if you ever make it down here hit me up.👏👏👏
It’s not possible without importing it via customs. It’s a drawn out process with some associated costs and quite a bit of paperwork. It also depends what province you import into. I was thinking about doing a video about the topic. It’s not a simple answer. Overall it’s not worth getting a machine in the USA and bringing it to Canada unless it’s used and you get a good deal on it. It’s usually more practical for older units.
Ya I have really enjoyed the z-Force 950 HO EX I’ve got. It’s surpassed all my expectations and this thing is even more refined. Cfmoto has really been stepping it up. I’m interested to see how this thing holds together in the long run.
That’s the only reason I got a 4 seater is to ride the family around or I’d be in a 2 seat for sure but my nieces love riding and the oldest one has been riding on my motorcycles with me since she was old enough to hold her head up by herself lol talk about getting some shitty looks 😂
That’s awesome that you get to share those experiences with them. Screw the people giving you them looks, they are the ones who need to reevaluate their decisions not us. Ya, the General is a wicked machine. I like the RZR 4 also. If I didn’t already have a RZR turbo and other two seaters I’d likely have chosen a different machine. Since we have the other units i didn’t have as much of a void to fill. If I could only have one machine and it was a 4 seater I’d likely get a pro r or a turbo r if not a KRX.
@@drillsergeant623That comment was meant for you! You seem offended that Julian posted a video focused on family time. I know that he's OK, but I'm not so sure about you!
Use your phone to navigate .it tells you traffic, also other alerts.I also raised my 3 kids quadding,camping and sxsing. They are better drivers for it now that they are all grown up. Start selling those netted garbage bags that attach to your buggy with adrenaline junkie labels on it.
@@joshc606 I doubt they were not that different in price. He himself said the general was a really good deal. I mean, if you’re making content.. and money, based off of what you’re riding.. just check the market share, nobody’s in CF 🗑️
Around here about 7k differences in price. That's huge. People want something different. I myself have XP 1000 4 for my family and I've seen enough about it. I want to know about new machines that people hate on. Also Cf has a 1 year warranty vs Polaris 6 months. I get it, go with what everyone else has. But sometimes ya got to be different, even if it cost you something, or in this case saves you.
It came down to a few things. But largely cost. I got into this thing significantly cheaper and it’s a family cruiser for us, not a wild trail machine so I didn’t need all the extra bells and whistles. Is the General an all around better machine overall? If I had to answer honestly I’d say yes, it likely is. However, for our current needs out of a 4 seater this thing checked off all the boxes and saved us a ton of coin.
General would have cost us over $10,000 more Canadian at the end of the day but it did have some upgrades. With that being said for the last 2-3 years CFMOTO market share has been growing faster than any other brand followed second by Kawasaki I believe. These machines have improved and continue to improve. More and more people are Considering them due to cost. Especially when you price out how cheap you can get many of them used. Loads of people are making Polaris and Can-Am content. Tons of our crew ride the other units, no one has a cfmoto in our crew except us. We wanted something different. I wanted to see what we can do with this thing. It’s all for fun and it seems there is actually a very large interest in CFMOTO content as it’s an underserved niche. As for the making money off content part, when you factor in the hours I put in for the return in capital then the majority of people here watching make much more hourly. The income from video views alone is far from great. We got a machine that I felt suited our specific needs out of a four seater at a budget I could justify.
Sell out? I have 3 RZR's in my garage. Only 2 cf moto SXS's so technically I'm still a Polaris fan boi, lol. You can't argue the price point on this machine. Especially for a family cruiser. My next machine definitely won't be another cf moto. Got my eye on something else.
Yup, 100%. I compared two of them side by side and it was a huge deciding factor in getting this unit. They are about as identical as can be minus the price point.
@@Williamxmr I dunno if we can be that cut and dry about it. All the brands knock each other off. Powersports, automotive, tech… list goes on. At the end of the day one of the biggest deciding factors comes down to cost and what we can afford. Not saying knocking people off is the right way to play the game but the government knocks each and everyone of us off financially every chance they get. If I had more disposable income I’d be cruising in a full loaded Polaris Xpedition with my family but I just can’t afford that.
@AdrenalineJunkieProd justify it anyway you want but you're supporting criminals that rip off North American companies. If someone stole from you, you wouldn't care what their reasons were.
Not gonna lie, I'm not pumped about this pick. I liked when you picked up the 950 because I wanted to see someone finally run it hard to see what its limit is. Picking up another CFMoto is yawn inducing. I like when channels really try and get a variety of machines and then speak to the pros/cons. I'm still going to watch the channel, but please don't turn into Real Talk Powersports "North Edition". Don't get me wrong, I like those guys but we certainly don't need more of the same.
I hear ya man. I know it's not for everyone. I'll go into more detail on why I chose it in the next video. There are still 3 Polaris RZR's in my garage so I think we are safe, lol. Keeping in mind that I have 3 other 2 seaters I could allow myself to get this thing as it doesn't have to cover as many bases. If I could only have one machine and it had to be a 4 seater this is not the machine I would have chosen. This is a family cruiser. Blake is an awesome guy and a good friend. I'll never go manufacturer specific though, I love all the various brands and machines. We likely have the most overall diverse group of machines on TH-cam as an overall channel/crew. Eventually I'll probably bite the bullet and even get a Can-Am product.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd No worries at all.........and I totally get it. You need to pick what makes sense for you and your family. Like I said, I'm a long time subscriber so I'll always be watching your videos. I was just crossing my fingers for a different machine, as I knew you would eventually get something for the entire family. When it comes to riding with kids, there is definitely a stage where it gets difficult. I found that at 3 to 4 years old.......maybe even 5, a helmet was almost more dangerous to wear because my kids didn't really have the strength to support it with all the movement from the vehicle while on the trail. We'd literally have to drive with one hand and use the other hand to stabilize their helmet. I ended up just letting them wear bike helmets until they were older. I was like you........with young kids in the vehicle I'd just drive nice and easy on the trail, avoiding anything potentially dangerous, and focused on stopping a lot to let the kids play. Naturally I'd get comments from people saying what I should or shouldn't do, but I started with 5 kids and last I checked I still have 5 kids.
THUMBS UP if you ride with your family.
I’d like to get a 4 seater for that reason. Currently running a rzr trail s 1000 and two 4 wheelers to get the family out
@@ridingwithlucas1745 Ya, the 4 seater is a big change from the 2 seat chassis but it really is a ton of fun being able to get the family out together in one machine. Especially while the kids are younger. I'm super excited about the adventures we will be able to have in this thing.
What mapping software do you use on your tablet?
I need a bench seat for my talon and all my kids can go or the wifey drives the talon and the little boy and me take the rzr
@@OffroadCpl Usually I use Lifetime Trail Maps or Ride Command. I also have a Garmin GPS unit I run on some rides.
Your outlook on the children is right on target God bless.

Looks like an awesome time. Sorry we didn’t get to ride with you at the cfmoto take over was way more there than thought stayed lost half the time lol
I’d be interested seeing how well everything holds up on the CF Moto with 35s. Ball Joints wheel bearings radius rods etc.
I personally believe that long term a 35 is too much tire for that chassis. I feel a 32 works well on that machine. Blake has removed the 35’s and gone back to a 32s since the last few videos. It’s the same reason I choose to stay on 32s on the Battle Wagon.

I explain to my kids how fortunate they are to be able to do these things a lot of kids would never get to experience this stuff.!!
Thanks man. We have been enjoying the new ride so far. Ya, I constantly remind our daughter how truly lucky she is. You’re right, only a small portion of kids get to experience the stuff our kids do. Exposing them to the great outdoors and Powersports provides a lot of transferable skills they will benefit from in the future.
Man bro this was such a fun trip and great family time.
I was honored to be apart of this
Nice!!!! Man i have such a love hate relationship with the drive to go riding. It's like I love the road trip but at the same I just want to teleport right to the trails
Also I live just a few minutes from the ambassador bridge!!!
I've ridden that trail system before. There are areas that are dangerous but for the most part they're not too bad
The comments about how you raise your children. Please continue to say that and yell it louder for those in the back of the bus that can’t hear you. Ride on Brother
Glad you can relate to my thoughts. Too many people out there trying to tell us how to raise our kids. Judging by how our society looks and functions the "accepted" or recommended methods of today don't seem to be working very well. I think everyone needs to push back.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd be glad you’re in Canada! The current administration here wants to coddle/pamper the up & coming generation nuts sickening
Good family memories. That’s how I ended up with 5 machines! No regrets and lots of life long memories. All u need now is a van 😅
Memories are all we every get to keep so might as well make them good. I know you can relate. Hope you and the family are doing well. I really want a motor home... I just can't swing it at this time budget wise.
Fantastic Family video my man.
Been looking forward to this video! 💪🤘
My son has been on an atv since he was 3 now he's 8 and drives a 70cc even down at hatfield mccoy
That’s awesome. Same way I want to raise my kids. My daughter is on a 110 now, she’s 8. She loves it and also has a RZR 200. I’ll get my little boy on an ATV as soon as he’s ready too. He just got a little electric ATV for his 1st birthday and loves it.
Awesome video glad u had a good time
Curious. You’re a Polaris guy. Why didn’t you buy a general or rzr? Or for that matter a can am. Being the best built out of them all.
I'll go into detail on that on the next upload in a few days. It was a complicated decision.
I’m going to take a guess but probably value. When you’re carrying the most precious cargo you have, there’s probably no need for any top of the line performer. I guess we’ll hear next video.
Ridin' with the Fam 👍👍💪💪
Can’t get much better than this. Just wish we could do it more often.
Man even having to explain why your kid is in the front is wild looked normal to me great videos love seeing them 🫡💪🏻
You got that right my kids are 9 and 2 and they both love riding already eat and sleep riding lol my kids rather be outdoors unless they cant be
That’s the best way to raise them man. I’m doing the same as you can see. So many kids these days just live inside and I feel we are really gonna give our kids a big advantage when they get older by exposing them to more things like this.
As a Tennessean I can confirm the weather changes constantly... it's bipolar arounf here
Bipolar weather, lol!
Hey Julian what mic do you use for communication on your help?
Helmet
Hey, we use the Cardo Packtalk Edge units. They work great.
I live right near the Ohio Michigan line. You drove right past my house, brother.
Nice vid! I took one of my sons riding with me a few weeks ago. I mean, he's 31, but still............😂
Family is All that matters, with out one we are nothing.9:40 pm
That's the truth.
Well love your videos for the most part but Hamilton is the Detroit of Canada naw mate, my family has much history in Hamilton going back more than a century and I have never heard that one. Steel town is what it is or lunch box town But I live on the east coast now so what do I know LOL. Anyway safe drive for you and the family and have a good time.
Glad you enjoy the videos. Good for you for getting outta onterrible man. Hamilton is a compete dump now, specifically the inner city and east end. Worse than it’s ever been man. Often they call it the armpit of Ontario and the Detroit reference is one I’ve heard commonly as Detroit too was a powerhouse of industrial manufacturing back around the time Hamilton was steel city and booming. Both cities have had a similar fate with the heavy industry and manufacturing sectors leaving. Downtown Hamilton these days is a wasteland for the most part. Full of homeless people and people struggling with mental illness and addiction. Add to that the unrealistic housing costs and ludicrous taxes and there isn’t much good here. My comment isn’t intended to cast any judgements on the homeless population or those struggling with various vices in life. I feel many of them likely have complex stories which led them to where they are and I think generally when cities and communities crumble like this the majority of the blame falls on the government and the “decision makers” not the individual citizens. I have grown up in and around Hamilton too. I remember what it was like 25 years ago and I’ve heard many stories of what it was like 40 years ago. Those times are far gone. I’m ready to get away too. What’s going on now is just bonkers. The outskirts and rural areas are good but we pay for all the dysfunction in the cities core.
Great video just watch out for those hold my beer kind of people 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. There’s a wide mix of oriel out on the trails but even factoring in those you mention generally speaking most the people we come across are great.
Julian what happened to fish haven’t seen him on any of the videos for awhile.
For the price and knowing it’s carrying your family, your not going to hammer down hard like Battle Wagon, good choice!
My kid had a mouth full of mud at that age now he’s 14 and still full of mud😂😂😂hey you not too far I’m in fl if you ever make it down here hit me up.👏👏👏
Both my kids eat mud and dirt too. It’s good for them, lol. I’d love to make it down your way in the future.
When was this trip? Thats my home town we hit the mountain just about every weekend. Awesome vid brotha would love to meet up and ride sometime.
Is it hard to license a machine bought in the usa and brought back to Ontario?
It’s not possible without importing it via customs. It’s a drawn out process with some associated costs and quite a bit of paperwork. It also depends what province you import into. I was thinking about doing a video about the topic. It’s not a simple answer. Overall it’s not worth getting a machine in the USA and bringing it to Canada unless it’s used and you get a good deal on it. It’s usually more practical for older units.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd I see. A bunch of people I know always wondered about it. Thanks
It's nice you got a Moto ,you must have liked the HOEX and the price is nice on them.
Ya I have really enjoyed the z-Force 950 HO EX I’ve got. It’s surpassed all my expectations and this thing is even more refined. Cfmoto has really been stepping it up. I’m interested to see how this thing holds together in the long run.
Need some gyeon view on that windshield!
With the new cf moto yxz clone you will most likely see a bunch more
i myself styruggle with these 4 doors costing almost 4 grand more then the cfmoto 1000xl crew
Prices for all these machines are wild nowadays, even the “more affordable” ones.
Bubble Babies - ROFL 🤣
The 4 seat General is a nice unit I almost bought one but went with the new rzr 1000 xp4
That’s the only reason I got a 4 seater is to ride the family around or I’d be in a 2 seat for sure but my nieces love riding and the oldest one has been riding on my motorcycles with me since she was old enough to hold her head up by herself lol talk about getting some shitty looks 😂
That’s awesome that you get to share those experiences with them. Screw the people giving you them looks, they are the ones who need to reevaluate their decisions not us. Ya, the General is a wicked machine. I like the RZR 4 also. If I didn’t already have a RZR turbo and other two seaters I’d likely have chosen a different machine. Since we have the other units i didn’t have as much of a void to fill. If I could only have one machine and it was a 4 seater I’d likely get a pro r or a turbo r if not a KRX.
Yeah the Pro R is a dream machine but a little too deep for my pockets right now 😂
Ok we get it, family.
Am I missing something?
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd How would I know. Ask your wife, most likely she knows where it’s at.
Are you going to be OK? Do we need to call someone for you?
@@bigbluegpr I’m pretty sure he’s gonna be ok, from what I have no idea. No need to call someone, he’s got a family, pretty sure he’s a grown man.
@@drillsergeant623That comment was meant for you! You seem offended that Julian posted a video focused on family time. I know that he's OK, but I'm not so sure about you!
Use your phone to navigate .it tells you traffic, also other alerts.I also raised my 3 kids quadding,camping and sxsing. They are better drivers for it now that they are all grown up.
Start selling those netted garbage bags that attach to your buggy with adrenaline junkie labels on it.
Nice job getting the 4 seater and exposing your kids! I don't have to tell you how much i agree.
Team China
I can’t believe you took this over a General.. 😢
$$$$$
@@joshc606 I doubt they were not that different in price. He himself said the general was a really good deal. I mean, if you’re making content.. and money, based off of what you’re riding.. just check the market share, nobody’s in CF 🗑️
Around here about 7k differences in price. That's huge. People want something different. I myself have XP 1000 4 for my family and I've seen enough about it. I want to know about new machines that people hate on. Also Cf has a 1 year warranty vs Polaris 6 months. I get it, go with what everyone else has. But sometimes ya got to be different, even if it cost you something, or in this case saves you.
It came down to a few things. But largely cost. I got into this thing significantly cheaper and it’s a family cruiser for us, not a wild trail machine so I didn’t need all the extra bells and whistles. Is the General an all around better machine overall? If I had to answer honestly I’d say yes, it likely is. However, for our current needs out of a 4 seater this thing checked off all the boxes and saved us a ton of coin.
General would have cost us over $10,000 more Canadian at the end of the day but it did have some upgrades. With that being said for the last 2-3 years CFMOTO market share has been growing faster than any other brand followed second by Kawasaki I believe. These machines have improved and continue to improve. More and more people are Considering them due to cost. Especially when you price out how cheap you can get many of them used. Loads of people are making Polaris and Can-Am content. Tons of our crew ride the other units, no one has a cfmoto in our crew except us. We wanted something different. I wanted to see what we can do with this thing. It’s all for fun and it seems there is actually a very large interest in CFMOTO content as it’s an underserved niche. As for the making money off content part, when you factor in the hours I put in for the return in capital then the majority of people here watching make much more hourly. The income from video views alone is far from great. We got a machine that I felt suited our specific needs out of a four seater at a budget I could justify.
Buys 2 cfmotos shocked when people say its a cfmoto channel 😂
👍👍
I didn't even have to watch the video to guess what brand this was! CF moto sell out at this point. Haha
Sell out? I have 3 RZR's in my garage. Only 2 cf moto SXS's so technically I'm still a Polaris fan boi, lol. You can't argue the price point on this machine. Especially for a family cruiser. My next machine definitely won't be another cf moto. Got my eye on something else.
I love it !!
✌️🇨🇦
There is no excuse for any kids under 16 not wearing a helmet or strapped in a seat accidents can happened no matter how fast your going. Just saying
Haha. Ok
Cf moto copied the maverick sport so blatantly
Yup, 100%. I compared two of them side by side and it was a huge deciding factor in getting this unit. They are about as identical as can be minus the price point.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd I refuse to support Chinese intellectual property theft
@@Williamxmr I dunno if we can be that cut and dry about it. All the brands knock each other off. Powersports, automotive, tech… list goes on. At the end of the day one of the biggest deciding factors comes down to cost and what we can afford. Not saying knocking people off is the right way to play the game but the government knocks each and everyone of us off financially every chance they get. If I had more disposable income I’d be cruising in a full loaded Polaris Xpedition with my family but I just can’t afford that.
@AdrenalineJunkieProd justify it anyway you want but you're supporting criminals that rip off North American companies. If someone stole from you, you wouldn't care what their reasons were.
Not gonna lie, I'm not pumped about this pick. I liked when you picked up the 950 because I wanted to see someone finally run it hard to see what its limit is. Picking up another CFMoto is yawn inducing. I like when channels really try and get a variety of machines and then speak to the pros/cons.
I'm still going to watch the channel, but please don't turn into Real Talk Powersports "North Edition". Don't get me wrong, I like those guys but we certainly don't need more of the same.
I hear ya man. I know it's not for everyone. I'll go into more detail on why I chose it in the next video. There are still 3 Polaris RZR's in my garage so I think we are safe, lol. Keeping in mind that I have 3 other 2 seaters I could allow myself to get this thing as it doesn't have to cover as many bases. If I could only have one machine and it had to be a 4 seater this is not the machine I would have chosen. This is a family cruiser. Blake is an awesome guy and a good friend. I'll never go manufacturer specific though, I love all the various brands and machines. We likely have the most overall diverse group of machines on TH-cam as an overall channel/crew. Eventually I'll probably bite the bullet and even get a Can-Am product.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd No worries at all.........and I totally get it. You need to pick what makes sense for you and your family. Like I said, I'm a long time subscriber so I'll always be watching your videos. I was just crossing my fingers for a different machine, as I knew you would eventually get something for the entire family.
When it comes to riding with kids, there is definitely a stage where it gets difficult. I found that at 3 to 4 years old.......maybe even 5, a helmet was almost more dangerous to wear because my kids didn't really have the strength to support it with all the movement from the vehicle while on the trail. We'd literally have to drive with one hand and use the other hand to stabilize their helmet. I ended up just letting them wear bike helmets until they were older. I was like you........with young kids in the vehicle I'd just drive nice and easy on the trail, avoiding anything potentially dangerous, and focused on stopping a lot to let the kids play. Naturally I'd get comments from people saying what I should or shouldn't do, but I started with 5 kids and last I checked I still have 5 kids.
Been looking forward to this video! 💪🤘
