- In this video, I talk about my first impressions while on my 2nd ride, on my CFMoto 650 ADVentura that I purchased on 12-30-2023.
I also go over several LIKES and DISLIKES after the first 500 miles of riding.
I also discuss Heated Hand Grips by Kemimoto, that I purchased from Amazon, as recommended by @PurpleOnThree (Jody) - and the link to Jody's video where she reviewed these heated hand grips is listed below, along with a link to Amazon, where I purchased these heated grips (NOT an affiliation link).

Great review! Glad you're enjoying your CFMoto Adventura 650 as much as I am. It's one of the best bangs for the buck out there.
It certainly is 😁👍👍
get that thing broken in and have some fun!! Glad you like it.
Workin on it, 1st service will be done next week. 😁👍
Woo hoo! So glad you like those heated wraps!! 💜🤗 You need your purple laces though...😁😂
So that's why mine look like they're missing something, and didn't look as good as yours 🤔🤨😉💜
@@SpyderWayne 😂😂😂
Thank you for the mention, Wayne! 🤗💜🙏
Well, I wanted to show off those heated grips because they do work great, and you were the reason I got them, so I had to give credit where credit is due 🤗
@@SpyderWayne 🤗💜
What a treat to get so many rides in on your new bike this time of year. A great and fair assessment of the new CF Moto ADV. Great job, Wayne.
Warmest February ever, for this region. And thank you, Eric 😁👍
Great review Wayne ! The positives and negatives make sense and I agree with your points. I didn’t know much about CF Moto and was surprised to find out they’re Canadian from Quebec. Well done buddy. Amigo
Well, CFMoto motorcycles are made in China, but I'm not sure where all their ATV's and UTV's are made, thanks Eddie 😁👍
@@SpyderWayne Oh …. There’s another video topic for you to uncover! Lol
That bag system is awesome!!
So far, I'm very impressed with the Shad bags & top case 😁👍👍
Time travel...I bet you could travel that fast on that bike! 😁👌💜
Yep, I will get it up to the speed where I almost just might get a speeding ticket... and then I'll probably wimp out 😆
Those are so bright... Those turn signals!
Both this bike and my Royal Enfield do NOT have self canceling blinkers. The Spyder has me spoiled. I don't how many times I've ridden the Royal Enfield for miles with one of the blinkers on, because I can't see it, and the tiny little green flashing light in my speedo clock doesn't get my attention. This bike I can see it on while riding, and yep, they're bright.
I can hear you 😁 smiling!
🙂😊😃😁🤗
@@SpyderWayne 😂😂😂
It’s a nice bike Wayne. Sounds like they need to hire you for R&D!
It's fun to ride, thanks, RJ 😁🤗
8:50 great review of the bike!! I can’t wait to see you get off pavement with it!😂😂
Hmmm, maybe I'll ride it around my house... for the soft cushy grass test 😂
@@SpyderWayne riding in grass is tough!!!
Gotta love riding in January 🎉
I was lucky to get only that one ride in January, but I got a whole bunch of rides in February.😁👍
0:14 look at the great ADV bike!!!
... and I haven't dropped it yet... (beginner's luck)😳😏😆... but I have added engine guards, so I'm ready to drop it any day now 😁🤪
CONGRATs on your Official Retirement.!!
You are WONDERFUL to Comment on my videos.
Did you know I have been posting since 2013 (but deleted most of my older videos)
WOW !!! I did not know you've been posting videos since 2013. I've been tempted to delete older videos myself, but i figure that one day, I'll get a kick out of watching those old memories. Thank you so much, Angel.😊😁🤗
I started watching Riders (on & off) with Cameras taped to their Helmets back in 2009. I opened my Channel in 2013, but it wasn't about Riding it was just stupid little clips of me. I decided I wanted a Strictly Motorcycle channel in 2015, & posted me riding, but it was low quality. I deleted everything I started fresh. I think my current oldest video is either 2015 or 2016. I feel I am an OG MotoChannel, I know all the older MotoChannels off by heart.
@@AngelFaceMotoRider You definitely know so many more channels, by far, than anyone I know 👊😊🤗😁👍
TRUST ME, I am the Queen of knowing MotoVloggers. However, I don't make any effort to get to know any Male Riders outside of Canada (you are my only exception) 🙂 Spy Wayne, we are on "Freedom Biker Tours" Channel now, come join us plz.
😎 nice bike Wayne I give it
👍👍👍👍👍
So far, I'm lovin' it. Many thanks 😁👍
Nice bike Wayne
Thanks Larry 😁👍
Wayne. The bike looks awesome. It's great that you have a stock seat that you find comfortable. That's half the battle for me with new bikes is that the seat isn't comfortable. I like the hand guards. Were those stock?
Hand guards are aftermarket, from China. This bike is named "650 Adventura" only in North America, and is no longer available in the 2024 lineup. So accessories (OEM and after market) are slim pickin's here in the U.S. This bike is called the "650MT" around the rest of the world, and there is an endless availability of aftermarket accessories on AliExpress (China version of Amazon or eBay without the "bidding"). I ordered these hand guards and also the engine guard (crash bars) on AliExpress, and both arrived in under 2 weeks. I was a little nervous about using AliExpress, but with 2 purchases so far, I'm quite happy to use AliExpress (again, so far). I like what I learned about AliExpress, I pay using PayPal, and then you have to acknowledge when your order arrives, because AliExpress withholds payment to the seller, until you've confirmed you received the goods. Thanks, Craig 😁👍
It's just right, Baby 🐻! 😁
It's a Goldilocks seat 🤗
@@SpyderWayne 😁😁😁
😎👍👍
Thanks 😁 👍
Interesting about the LCD display!
I just learned why that happens and also learned about the trick that a clear visor pulled down when wearing polarized sunglasses nullifies the disappearing LCD screen, and it works !!
@@SpyderWayne 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 😁👍
Hey Wayne I just got this bike too! Curious how you record your rides with audio?? Thanks in advance!
I use the DJI Wireless Mic. I clip the transmitter (which is very small) to the arm of my boom mic inside my helmet, and the receiver is attached to either my Insta360 X3 camera, or my DJI Osmo Action 3 camera. The setup of the transmitter inside my helmet is shown in my video called:
"DJI Mic - Part 1 of 2 - Motovlog Audio Test with Insta360 X3" (about 5 months ago).
And, for the walk around review in this video, the transmitter is clipped near the top of my chest on my hoodie, you can just barely see the little dead cat that clips on to the transmitter, and I keep that dead cat on the transmitter when it's inside my helmet.
Great job on 500 miles...Now let's get that bike in the mud!!! You will soon need a larger garage for all the bikes!!! Where do you find time to edit videos my friend??
Where do I find tine ? 🤔🤨🙄
I now find it between 9 am to 5 pm on Mondays through Fridays ☺️😅🤣👍
@@SpyderWayne
You didn't even come home until dark!! 😂
It was maybe a 40 min ride... but I procrastinated and didn't start the ride until late in the day 😏🙄😁
Hi Wayne. I am looking at this bike as a possible next step for me. The seat worries me a little because even though it's comfortable, I am wondering if that hump splits the seat material. How is it holding up?
I purchased this bike new only 3 months ago, and as of today, it's got about 1,100 miles on it. So the seat is still in brand new condition. I really can't see that happening. The seat material looks and feels really good, and I haven't seen any complaints about that issue in my research and reviews of the Adventura, or the 650MT version from overseas. But I suppose only time will tell if your concern becomes an issue. For me, I don't think that will be a problem 😁👍.
Looks like it could be a fun ride. Jealous of anyone who gets out befor April lol, not really.
Most of Feb here was unbelievably mild springlike weather, very unusual, and yesterday was 70F. Next couple weeks, 40s and 50s, so I'm not complaining. Looking forward to seeing you out riding your Wing... and with the Mini Mate, Jim 😁👍
Hope to get some practice runs in during May and maybe a camping weekend in June before hitting the road in early July. @@SpyderWayne
You’re becoming another Shawn Smoak with all the bikes.
Uhh, well I believe he's got me beat by a touchdown and a field goal 🤔🙄😆
@@SpyderWayne I’d never heard of CFMoto till now
@DFWMoose They're a chinese company, and I believe their strategy is to compete at the table of the Big 4 Japanese manufacturers in the sub 1000cc bike segments. They're young, but they're building quite a reputation, and they blow away the competition on pricing. It'll be interesting to see how well (or not) they do over the next decade.
@@SpyderWayne so looks like the 650 was discontinued.
@DFWMoose Yes and no. Around the world, it's called the 650MT, which is still in production. In USA and Canada, it's called the 650 Adventura, which is gone from their 2024 line-up, but they have kept the 650 NK in North America (same engine, but NK is their "naked" bike version).
Where did you get the crash bars? Will you post a link to them?
Here's the link:

What a really nice bike, and to get so many miles on the clock before the end of February is pretty impressive. If this is what global warming is all about, sign me up
I know, I bought this thing in the winter (Dec 30th) and I've made an appointment for its 1st service on Mar 4th. So, this is the first time I've bought a motorcycle in the winter and completed the break-in period before spring 🤔🙄😁👍👍
Where did you buy your other accessories, crash bars, etc. I'm in Canada.
ALIEXPRESS, it's China's version of Amazon. They have lots of accessories for for the ADVentura, but in Europe snd Asia, it's NOT called a CFMoto 650 ADVentura. It's called CFMoto 650MT
I bought the handguards and crash bars on ALIEXPRESS. Took about 10 to 12 days to receive. You gotta be careful not to choose a vendor that shows a ridiculous shipping cost. Many vendors' shipping costs are reasonable. Some are just plain outragious. Every item I looked at shows the shipping cost in the description. I paid $41, including shipping and tax for handguards, and I paid $370, including shipping and tax for the crash bars (U..S. dollars). The heated handgrip wraps, I bought on Amazon for $33 U.S. The top case and luggage rack I ordered from CFMoto USA through my dealer. Total for both was $297 U.S.
Thank you for the prompt reply and info. I'm seriously thinking about purchasing the 650.
Where did you get those handguards? My 650 adventura is only at 230 miles.
There's very few accessories for the Adventura in the U.S. But in China & Europe, the bike is called CFMOTO 650MT, and on AliExpress, you can find all kinds of accessories for the 650MT. AliExpress is China's version of Amazon, you just have watch out and avoid vendors that have huge shipping costs. Total cost I paid was $41 and I received them in about 10 days, from China. $34 for the handguards $4 shipping and then sales tax. Yes, they chg sales tax, because AliExpress has setup businesss in the U.S., so they charge sales tax just like Amazon does. I paid using PayPal. I also bought engine crash bars/guards from AliExpress.
If you enter the following in Google, you'll see an AliExpress link to where I bought my handguards.

It took a lot of local rides for me to get to 600 miles. I just got the 1st service done on Monday, this past week, so now it's fully broken in, and ready to go when the weather gets warmer. I bought mine 10 weeks ago, on Dec 30th, but I got lucky with the mild winter, and rode it every chance I could, to get it through the 600 mile break-in. It kinda sucked keeping it under 4000 RPM for those first 300 miles, because it's gutless at low RPM's, it's way more fun at 5000 to 8000 RPM's 😁
@@SpyderWayne Thank you!
Whats the back case brand?
The back case is a Shad 39 (39 liters). I bought it from CFMoto through the dealer. It's a nice top case, matches the side cases that came on the bike.
Why must the rpm's be kept at a certain level during breakin?
You know how helmets, gloves, and shoes are more comfortable after you've broken them in? Same thing for people getting to know each other, and the same goes for an engine. The new parts and new metals are stiffer and have more friction when new. So, you take it easy, let all those moving parts get to know each other, and get comfortable with each other, and they settle in and fit and move together more smoothly after the break-in period. Kinda like the first few dates, vs. being married, haha. New engines prefer low stress and low rev's (RPM's) until all the moving parts are best friends that play well with each other 😊🙂😁🤗
@@SpyderWayne well thank you for explaining that to me!
Nice bike Wayne. How many you got now, 3? Enjoy retirement 👍
Yep, this makes three. 😁👍
Are we able to adjust the seat height?
On my 2022 Adventura, there is no seat height adjustment. It's a tall bike, I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam, and I can not flatfoot my feet. Both feet touch the ground, but not my heels.
@@SpyderWayne thank you, are you saying we can not change the seat height?
@richardx4456 Correct, I can not adjust my seat height.
The fuel economy might improve once then engine is broken in.
Yes, I've filled up 3 times after completing the 600-mile break-in period, achieving 48 mpg to 51 mpg, so it has improved by about 10 %. 😁👍
First !!! (In Canada) 😂
Heehee, you're absolutely right, Eddie 🤗
Well, Eddie.... You are always first in our book! 🤗💜🙏
You guys rock !!!
@WindyTherapy Well, one is a "Rock" star !!! And you and I have the rocks to prove it, Eddie 😁🤗
