I've just pre-ordered a 450sr as it's called here in Australia. Chrome moly frame, Brembo 4 piston front brakes, sexy sounding 270 degree parallel twin. It is tuned down to 46hp here to fit in the LAMS class.
CFMOTO bikes are reliable, well designed, good value and fun to ride. I own a CFMOTO NK300 and have had a blast riding the twisty roads.
I wish they left it at 49hp because at 49hp it still fits into the lams requirements. 49hp = 37Kw. 37Kw/(168kg bike + 90kg for rider and fuel) = 0.144 which is under the 0.150 needed for LAMS. I believe they just gave us the euro spec where A2 licences need 47hp or less hence the 46.5 hp.
The SC project exhaust on these sound super good
Crazy you have to limit hp to legally ride, those brembos sound nice til you have to change the pads and they want like $200 a set.
Where you located? Heard it hasn't hit the states yet.
Are they really that reliable thats the only thing im concerned about T-T id love to get one
Ktm & Harley are having a bike or two made for them by CFmoto believe it or not........ don't know how I feel about that🤔
I use Chinese products all the time and I bet a lot of the motorcycle manufacturers use chinese parts. Lol
The iPhone I’m writing this comment with was made in China and it works. I don’t think it matters to much.
Yes , and the 650 engine that cfmoto uses is the same block that you find on Kawasaki
Cfmoto holds a 51/50 partnership with KTM. Everything they make is good stuff.
@@jamespatrick709I hope your judgment on bikes is better than your math skills.
50+51
I dropped into a Yamaha dealer a few weeks ago, looking for my next bike, and saw a bunch of CF Motos for the first time. They look pretty okay, I'm just concerned about reliability. The dealer owner told me they're built by the same company that makes KTM. Curious to see how they fair in the industry 🤔🤷
Doesn't mean they'll have the same quality tolerances as KTM or the manufacturer support. They manufacture KTM's like Foxconn manufactures iPhone.
I believe they did the 390 engines and those aren't known to be great
i think cfmoto's atvs already have a pretty good rep.
They also make parts for Kawasaki 650, see CLX700 alot parts look so similar
They aren’t built by the same company, they are the company that makes engines for ktm, and have for a long time now.
I live in Greece and we have a huge moto loving community. Sym and CFmoto are the Chinese brands that are very popular and quite reliable. Sym scooters are being used by guys whose main bikes are yamaha suzuki bmw ducatis and so on. Sym makes a popular underbone bike called VF (125 and 185 cc versions). CFmoto was popular with their 300cc motor, both in the naked and the adventure models and they have good reviews from customers. They are not the BEST you can buy (plastics for example are a little bit less quality than what you'd find on a suzuki or a honda) but their motors are mostly good and dont have any more problems than everything else on the market.
SYM is from Taiwan, not China. But yeah, SYM is very much loved here in my country. Lots of aftermarket parts/accessories on sale
Here in Greece,this brand is on the market for at least 4 years now. Gets good sales. I have a 650 Mt, I think it's called 650 Adventura in the USA. It's a 2020 and it currently has 12.000 kms on the clock. The only think that broke was a mirror when I dropped it one time. It's been very reliable. Not good for dirt riding though. For commuting and touring, it's a very decent bike and I'm very pleased with it.
I KNOW you’re intrigued. I was, as well, when I started investigating them. The KTM 790 engines are made by them, which is now in their flagship Ibex Adv bike, and piqued my further interest. Not committed to a purchase, yet. Or if ever. But regardless of origin, it’s nice to see a new kid in the block.
Yeah man..it’s interesting for sure. You definitely got what I was thinking spot on
@@adobomotolove to see you do a track build with the 450, its got a lot of hype, been seeing them pop up more often. They're looking to be reliable
I can’t support a Chinese company that uses onboard technology to map your riding. I don’t like the idea that linking with an app tracks your rider data. China already steals information in just about every industry and then couple that with ktm manufacturing... I just don’t know... probably never gonna buy a cf Moto.
But if you’re young or wanna try a small bike for cheap for a couple years to see if you like riding it’s probably a decent option.
ever heard of snowden? your own country has been spying on its own people
I test rode the 450ss and was impressed. It was nimble, felt light, and had more torque than I expected. It was surprisingly smooth. I've had a CLX Sport for a year now, and I'm sold on the CF MOTO product.
450ss also comes in 270⁰ crank. Their adventure bike's engines share that of the ktm adventure 790. They're pretty bang for ur buck here in the Ph
I've ridden a CF MOTO 300SS here in iowa. Given that my garage includes a MINT 2005 zx10r among other bikes, im shocked and impressed at these bikes, that 300SS I'd take over any other similar bike CBR, KAWI 250 OR 400, YAMAHA R3, YOU NAME IT, I'd rather have the 450SS than a SV 650. It's unmatched hands down. I have no idea about longevity, reliability seems there, but it did not seem cheap. Long term ownership will tell. I wanted a little bike for my kids to learn on, was looking at all the bikes mentioned, im thinking of the 300SS. I've ridden all of them.
I own one of the 700 CL-X bikes. It's awesome, I love riding it around. It's a Kawasaki designed engine that's been bored out to 700cc, it's been really reliable so far. It's got cruise control, ABS, a slipper clutch, and is just a cool naked retro bike.
CFMOTO are one of the most reliable bikes but in the cases where it broke down, many people are having hard times looking for replacement parts since the typically produce very little spare parts and since they are relatively new to the market they lack aftermarket parts that's the most common problem here in the Philippines.
I HOpe CFMOTO see this message so that they can supply Genuine parts of all motorcycle so that customer will not having hard times looking for their maintenance or the parts of all of their motorcycle
Im a user of 450ss/450sr(Philippines) i must say for 3mos of usage its all good aftermarket and parts availability is not a problem here.
I've had quite a few bikes, been riding for 40 years...
I just got the CFMOTO 300SR 2023. And it surprised me a ton!! In the Twisties it is king 👑!! What you get for that kind of money, well it's unbelievable. Not a lot of horses under your butt, but plenty of power!! What a pleasure to ride!!
The break in period is a bitch, the book says no going over 4.000 rpm... Which is impossible actually I've done 4.500 - to 5.000 rpm... After 500 kilometers I'll do UpTo 6.000 rpm at a 1.000 kilometers she goes in for the first service, then after that I can open her up a tad more!😊
I'm out here in Europe, the bike has a 4 year guarantee!! The roads out here are made for motorcycles!! The scenery is amazing!!
Safe riding!!
As a new rider I got my 300ss mainly because there was more standard addons then a big brand bike. Having GPS, ABS, Slipper Clutch, and built in tracker in case it gets stolen. Would I upgrade to a faster biker, yeah but for the price and beginner it’s good.
Yammie noob has talked about cf Moto several times now. They make engines for Ktm, and have for a long time now. Reliability doesn’t seem to be an issue with them, and a lot of their more premium models come with abs, tft displays, gps built in, and some other great features. Not a bad look, if someone is just getting into riding.
cool,what i iike about the 450ss/sr is how light it is and its engine having a 270degree crank, most of their engine and design looks are based on that of ktm's. i have a cfmoto, the naked 400 a 205kg motorbike, its been pretty reliable so far clocking at 25000km. what i like about the brand is they enter races for different local races and Moto3, 44 teeth used the 650 on one of their racing season.
I did a test ride with 4 of their bikes and they are actually not bad. The Papio 126cc is a fun bike. I’d say better than the z125. Definitely something to consider
Test ride does not scale to owning, riding and fixing. I lived in China. New products looked sexy af but quality was abysmal in almost everything I bought.
People say ‘iPhones are made in china, so a Chinese phone must be good too.’
Totally untrue. Chinese phones are made, designed and engineered by Chinese. They cut costs more than is necessary and have a marvelous inability to manage nuance in engineering tolerances. This China lacks a real world class powerhouse. I lived an worked their with green products for 13 years.
The biggest hood back for these guys is the fact that you can find a $3500 used Japanese sport bike which is a proven quality bike and has 3x the power numbers. But new is new and they may surprise us in the future. But I’ll most likely be the guy on a vintage FireBlade sporting antique plates
KTM isn’t really known for its reliability either. And it’ll be a step below that?
KTM performance is what you buy the bike for. I've owned 3 and 2 were reliable, the other was bought used so I have no idea what the electrical gremlins were caused by. Dealer bought it back from me and I wound up Getting a 1290 Super Duke R and rode the bastard from Sweden to Austria and Back. No problems at all and I've got 30k on the clock now. Even had it on the nurburgring!
What you want to look for for anything on two wheels coming from China is for it to be a company who also makes bikes for the Chinese market successfully. The Chinese market for bikes is massively larger than the U.S. market. They have 350 million DAILY riders. For comparison, the U.S. has maybe 10 million sunny weekend riders. Any company successful in the Chinese market, which is highly competitive, will de facto be good. The kicker is that China many times doesn't allow its most successful domestic companies to also be responsible for exports when it comes to manufacturing in any industry. When they do though, they are incredibly large companies like Huawei. Conversely, you want to stay away from any bikes where they sell no bikes at all in China, but suddenly pop up in the U.S. CFMOTO is one of the very few that sells and is successful (In a particular market segment) inside China and is becoming popular in the U.S. They are by no means the largest or the most successful in China, but like most of China's most successful products, we will never see the vast majority of them in the U.S. because they simply do not need to export (even if they were allowed to by China) to be massively successful and by the time they got here, you would not be able to afford them.
Here in philippines,lots of chinese bikes hide behind italian named brands
I have the 700 C-LX Sport, absolutely love it. Great styling and performance.
You’d be posting this naked if it wasn’t for things made in China, actually you wouldn’t as your video and sound recording and computer all has Chinese components…
CFMoto and KTM have a partnership of sorts. They manufacture KTM's engines and the engines they use in their own bikes are based on KTM's designs. Make of that what you will.
I've heard stories about the catastrophic failures they suffer, but I guess that's what the warranty is for.
I dont believe coz if you look the engine of their bikes its from other brands.like example for what im talking is the nk125 ,the engine of that bike is based on suzuki thunder 125 only its a f.i.another example is the nk400 and nk650 ,engines are related or should i say used a kawasaki platform for that those engine is first seen on z650's .
The new nk c22 is the only bike that use engine of ktm ,the ktm duke 790 if we look closely to their engines. Cfmoto said that they used the ktm 790 engine for that and i think so far thats the only bike from their factory that uses or related to ktm.mostly are copycat engines from big 4 brands.
@@nappyboy5513 they’re probably under some contract to not use the engines they produce for KTM in their own production motorcycles. I bet if CF were to do that, KTM would break away and find another brand to manufacture their engines or they would do it themselves. I don’t see CF doing that because they’re probably getting paid very well from KTM. Also just because they aren’t the same engines being used doesn’t mean the reliability is worse. I have heard nothing but good things from people who review these bikes. I think it’s definitely a brand to watch out for for sure. Motorcycle prices these days are crazy expensive so it’s a good option.
I know KTM has sold licensing to QJ for the 790 and the 1290 motors. So I am sure if CF moto are going to produce it they will be allowed to purchase the rights to use it as well. The Benelli mark is going to revive its TNT 800 naked bike with the lc8c motor and Cycle world did an article on the licensing and development of the LC8. I am surprised KTM will let anyone have the superduke motor. Might indicate we will see a new Motor from them for their top range bikes soon.
@@Nick-Edwards the 790 series engine of the ktm is used for all of CF Moto 800 series for several years now so yeah ktm hasn't dropped them.
@@Nick-Edwards I think KTM wouldn't mind? Because in India there's a bike called bajaj dominar 400. It has the same engine as the ktm 390's, and have the same problems. Bajaj are the one's who makes the engine of ktm's/husq's 390/401
Also that 400SS has crossplane crank that didn't say in the specs sheet.
yea the sound super good for 400 cc
I just bought a used 2022 Benelli 302s in green. Got it for steal. Haven’t rode it much but tbh the quality is there. It doesn’t have cheap materials everywhere. Even has a full digital dash.
Also have a ssr125 dirtbike which I think is the same manufacturer just branded differently and haven’t had any trouble with it.
well i got 11 year old 110cc chinese motorcycle, stock fairings and aluminum mags and monoshock and engine is still fine but the switches is long gone.
The CF Moto 800 MT is a KTM 790 Adventure, but probably way more reliable and not orange lol
Let’s be honest NOBODY should be thinking any CFMOTO dream bigger folks
Is CF Moto a new channel partner/sponsor, because this upload should absolutely be a paid brand promotion. Keep doing what you do‼👍
CFmoto 650 use the kawasaki er6n engine modified and the 400 model also use the same modified version engine and frame on both models, the 800 uses ktm engine, so there aint much to complain about those bikes, they are good, and on a good price too
Finding out more about cfmoto as you guys comment. Thanks
I got a 300ss🤣 has absolutely no balls. But I gotta say getting almost 300 miles to the tank is pretty nice🙏🏼
They're in MotoGP's Moto3 and Isle of Man twin cylinder class as far as I know, they're really getting into the racing scene
I have bought one.. No issues so far.. It is realiable..
My fiancé just sat on a cf moto 300nk today and she may buy it tomorrow
most sarcastic moto vlogger
SUPER RELIABLE
I can't recommend that brand because I have one that is 13 times returning back and forth for a span of 2,000km only, until they decided to replace the engine and it takes 1/2 yr before the bike returned to me, after that the electronics is malfunctioning and missing some rubber grommet and finally I sold the bike the end of nightmare.
they're in a partnership with KTM now, and the next 790 Duke middleweight has the engine from CFMoto.
i tot it is the other way the cfmoto midweights have the ktm engine
@@jamessmurf2929 they're going to release a more "tamed" 790 with less than 100hp to compete in the 650-750cc class. That bike has the CFMoto engine.
@@marxteven it's a ktm design but built in china so the IP for the design is probably KTMs making it a KTM engine.
@@brygs767 it is, but it's still based on the CFMoto's 799cc parallel twin.
@@marxteven wait wasnt it said the 799 just a downsized 890 engine?
In UK picked up a 2018 Ninja 400 just over a year ago for a returning rider on wet narrow little British roads, and I gotta say it's a lot of fun. So bought a CFMOTO 300SR (same as SS is the USA, and has the same 292cc single engine as a Kawasaki KLR 300) for my girlfriend to learn on and I have used it for commuting for about an hour the office and we both love being on it... It's such a chill reliable easy to ride little thing although I do wonder where the power is when I try to pass anything lol. I am considering a 450SR for a bit of excellent value fun when USA side. If one is on a budget and starting out or returning rider and need something to play on for a year or two before going bigger... CFMOTO is probably a good option.
Just waiting for cf to release the nk8 and the nk1000 both are powered by KTM drivetrains. They also are in the development phases of a v4 set to be in some sort of bike. The dealership I work at just became a cr moto dealer.
Great beginners bikes who don't want to spend too much on a new hobby.
Just don't watch yammie noob on these, 100% bias.
I used to snowplow there lot in Minnesota and I asked what they made and they said more “affordable” toys 😂
to bad you never went to look at the bigger bikes like cfmoto 700 proven 4 year warranty a lot of riders have 20 k plus mileage up no problems
20k is nothing lmao... the big 4 routinely has bikes with 75-100K that have been flogged and they're still running well. Hell, Triumph has lots of high mileage bikes too.
cf moto is taking over here in the PH. the reliability is so-so though. i've heard of alot of people who traded their cf moto for a japanese bike
damn! looks like a popular asian bike
we call the cfmoto 450sr the "ninja killer"
looks cool!
"we" as in you live in China? Isnt bypassing the great firewall illegal?
@@d2rr no no no. We at the philippines call it the ninja killer
@@d2rr The wall is there to protect you people outside of China. Otherwise we Chinese will drown you on TH-cam😜 you know we have 1.4 billion people here.
I am still skeptical of mainland China bikes
Just heard from a friend who owns a motorcycle dealership that includes CF Moto bikes that there is an 800ss in the works, currently in pre-production. If it looks as cool as the 450ss and boasts a KTM engine, I'm in.....
Cf moto is one of the best motorcycle out there
The only problem about chinese brands is the vibrations 😢
I have 400nk for 3 years now and its still doing fine. And i just bought the 450sr im very good quality and performance
The 450ss is a cool bike. Better then the ninja400 and makes a great sound. My son rides his daily and loves it. The 270 degree cross plane sounds like a bigger bike with and exhaust. Much more exciting then any other beginner sport bike.
I got my hands on one. You might like that mini series
@adobomoto I'll look it up. It's been a great bike for my son to learn on. He rode a buell xb12r firebolt we rebuilt for a year. But parts were hard to find and Insurance on a 16 year old was crazy. Sold it and paid cash for the 450ss
Sobrang Init kasi ng 450SS mostly known as 450SR dito sa Pinas recently, probably why maraming gusto na i review mo in a way. Planning to get one this year but then again, reliability is still questionable.
ung review ni makina di gaano ka comprehensive... playsafe much hahaha
@@applemansanas3246 yun nga eh, other option ko naman kasi is Z400
@@jonrielb.dagohoy2196 ok rin naman z400. mas malakas nga lang sa chix kapag naka sports bike. hahaha.. by the way mainit rin ang z400 if hindi ka sanay. pero pde naman iwasan ung aux fan.
Here in PH CFMoto are bang for the bucks, comparing my Z400 to a 450SR
450SR has a Brembo calipers Front and Rear, TFT Display and KYB Front and Rear around P299900
Z400 has a Nissin calipers and brake masters, LED display. 274000
CLX700 Sports has a Dual Brembo Stylema Calipers Front and rear, a Brembo brake masters, tft display, KYB Front and Rear.
Kaso reliability di pa gaano ka established :(
Here , in India it's nothing in comparison to other beast
7 months in and now you have a CF Moto 😁
Funny you say this just saw ali express selling a 400 cc sport bike for $3,000. Lol
5:20 JAPANESSSS OR NOTHINGG!!!
Pork adobo or chicken adobo?
Is it a pig or chicken on my logo?
@@adobomoto it's a p*ssy
@@LnZ_Blu lmfao 🤣
I own one of their ATV's, CFMOTO has seriously blown up over the last 5 years.
Man, I just found out about them and they have great product. I’m hoping they release the 450 SR-S here in the states.
Typically all the Filipinos asking 🤣
For me ,it's a great bike. Looks, specs, tech and asthetics.. The only downside is, the price.. I'm not saying all expensive things are reliable but most of the time that's the case. I really want to know why the price is like that..
Also aperently the designer worked for Ducati, i love that blueish one itsa vera noice
Bro you missed 700 Cl-X Sport.
Just wait until they roll out their 600s and 1000s I'm interested in what they've got going for em
Well Chinese are stepping up their game
They tried to sell me the 650 ADV bike when I bought my Kawi Versys. The reviews for that bike are pretty bad. I think Revzilla or Motorcyclist did a ride review on it and they couldn’t even accurately tell how fast they were going. The owner forums I have visited have been worse. Maybe the quality will improve though.
If you want something like this, you could get a KTM RC 390 for the same price basically, have similar power, and a better all around bike with better aftermarket options in my opinion.
300ss 300sr (Philippines) user here. 🙋
I own a 700 CL-X Heritage and it's an amazing bike especially for the money. I also ride a Harley Electra Glide and I love! my CFMoto. They're gonna be the new big thing in Metrics I thing.
The 450 if you check in Taobao, they sold alot after market part, full titanium exhaust, up down quickshifter
well too much hate in made in china,but you love aprilla which most parts are made china🥴 its just the company didn't told you that.😏
I don’t hate made in china, everything is made in china lmfao..i love bikes, not just aprilia. Is this the first video you seen from adobo moto? 😂
@@adobomoto well your expression told the opposite🙄 parang plastik lang na kapit bahay. sabihan kang ang bait bait mo tapos. may evel face effect.🤣
never had a problem with cf moto would recommend. price to preformace is very good
Yo I need an adobo sticker for the RSV4RR. Or are those only for the RF model?
Lol. Adobomoto.com
@@adobomoto whats the "Got an Aprilia too!" Code?
CFMoto has been around for a while. Their bikes are pretty stellar.
Where can I find a used R6 for $5,500? I’m looking and people have them listed for $8k and up.
Can you make a review on a cf moto 450
What does CFMOTO means..
=Chinese F***Up Motorcycles...😜😜
So the question of this video or any of the motorcycle in CFMOTO. Is it reliable and quality, weather proofing, engine quality of the motorbike? And their fairings like the plastic parts of the bikes that what they talk about it specially the top speed and torque of the motorbikes of CFMOTO i hope that their top speed and torque of the engine is not fake and bias because what the purpose of the CC's engine if its not accurate according to their motorbike CC's engine. Im not looking down of the chinese brand motorbikes. HONESTLY i like their motorbikes its cool and head turner if your a bike lover base on their design specially when it looks aggressive and sporty bikes. But i hope their quality and reliability, engine quality, and weather proofing bikes they NEED to improve of what they're lacking to achieve the perfect QUALITY not the QUANTITY because all people like to choose the QUALITY and RELIABLE specially the LIFESPAN OF THE BIKES over QUANTITY. If they do that they gonna become popular too when it comes to selling their units like japanese brand Bikes and became competent in their company to other brands company. And no one will comment bad things and no one bushers.
I will never go to a Japanese bike again
My main problem i see with cf moto is whilst not bad per se there's no originality No real R&D just copypasted chassis and engine designs that have practically already been perfected by other companies made cheaper thats it! Whilst not as bad as other Chinese companies the quality control and build quality still leaves a bit to be desired 🤷
I had a CFMOTO 650 adv had it for 4 months until I was rear ended at a redlight. Person on a cellphone. Bike was total I was fine just messed up my already messed up back lol but im good. Taking a break from due to wife wanting me to. I liked it it was good bike. What people dont know CFMOTO has been making parts for KM for long time
China bikes look cool but if you want the best resale and overall. I would buy a good used Japanese bike .
Im waiting for the 450SR launch cause I saw a lot of reviews of this bike and its FIRE
Could you see yourself getting a 450ss and reviewing one ?!
mostly chinese bots comment about these chinese bikes in any moto channel to self promote
50 hp for 450cc dude ktm engines make about 43hp for 363 cc and they can make more
The 450 is famous in the Ph I believe
CFMoto 1000cc RV4 Superbike!
I have the clx 700 n its a thing of beauty.!!!!!!
I have a 300ss so far soo good fun can't wait for the 450ss and I'll give the 300ss to the wife
They're a crappy bike. Basically Chinese made Kawasaki. I owned a CFMoto 650GT. The cylinder head assembly needed replacing after 5,500kms. Just spend the little bit extra and buy a Kawasaki.
Heard they’re making the rerelease of the ktm duke 790
Designed by kiska the one designed ktm dukes
Yea Chinese clones are good had a 125cc swapped out for 212cc and delete emissions just as good as the real one
they're working with KTM as far as I know
So you going to give me a shot at pulling in some money and relationships for you?
CFMOTO makes engines for KTM
got A Chinese dual sport and i love it.
