Im 48 and I just bought my very first bike, a 2023 CFMOTO 450ss a month ago. And I’m so glad I chose this bike. It’s amazing and so much fun.
Congratulations and welcome to 2-wheels! As I indicated in the video, it's really hard to choose against the 450ss. What made you go with it? Stay safe
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders thank you. I did months of research and based on my skill level (none), price, TH-cam reviews and style I chose the 450 over the Ninja 400. Everybody, it seems, has a Ninja. Nobody has a 450. I had to drive an hour and a half with a buddy of mine to get it because they were sold out everywhere else.
My first bike was a gen 1 Ninja 250 many years ago. I had a lot of good times riding that motorcycle as I'm sure you will with the 450ss. They do sell quickly and for good reason. Again, congratulations and enjoy. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it.
I'm turning 38 and was thinking of getting one of these but wasn't sure if I was to "old" for one.
@@BoogieIRL get one. You will not regret it
I sold my Ninja 300 last season and said I was done riding since I'm 49 and don't have much time for it. But ever since I saw this bike, the itch is back. I need this to get this.
It is a great little bike. I bought it lol. Definitely would suggest trying one out and getting back on 2-wheels. Appreciate you taking the time to share your feelings and if you ride it I would love to hear your feedback as well. Stay safe
As soon as I persuade the BOSS I will be looking into one.
With regards to the 0-60: I believe someone mentioned this in the comments on the video about the 450NK, but the engine revs past the redline to 12.3k. The Ninja 400 does the same thing, its rev limiter is about 13k in spite of a 12k redline. Both bikes should be theoretically capable of sub 5 second 0-60s.
After breakin it will rev higher and yes it should absolutely be sub 5 even with my heavy ass on it lol
Is that Randys Cycle in IL ? I bought my first bike there last summer (450SS). Great place to buy a bike. I've had zero issues with it so far and love it. I get tons of compliments on it. I always wondered if we would get the 450SR-S for 2024 instead of the SR(SS) 😢 I guess not.
Yeah, it is! I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying yours. And yeah, i agree with you! Randy's Cycle is such a great dealership. Truly cares about riders. I would have loved to see the SR-S. A single sided swingarm looks awesome, but I don't think we will get it until 2025. Was speaking with Randy about that one, the 450 mt, the 500, the 675, and the future 1000cc. Exciting times, but the rest of the world is getting better versions right now, sadly. I'm glad you took the time to share your experience. Stay safe
Nice sound for twin cyl.
Indeed! Love the 270 degree crank sound.
Great review. I’ve got the 2024 CFMOTO 450SRS which has the single swing arm, ABS, traction control, Brembo brakes and adjustable front suspension. Awesome first bike with plenty of power for a beginner rider. My next bike will be an Aprilia RS660, but for now, I’m loving this 450SRS!
Thank you for watching. I must say I am jealous of the markets that got the srs. I would have bought the srs buy since we didn't get it in America. But that said since all we got was the SS I bought it after the first ride. Such a great bike to ride for fun and for a daily bike. I find myself riding this more than my 8 other bikes. It is a solid choice for a first bike and yeah the RS660 would be a get bike for a second. Appreciate you for taking the time to comment and hope you stay safe and enjoy the ride.
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders Thanks mate! I’m sure America will get the SRS in time too 🙏🏼
I bought the SRS without even riding it! lol! I knew it would be perfect for me as a first bike and couldn’t be happier. In Australia we’re restricted to a certain power:weight ratio on a restricted license for 3 years before we can ride a more powerful bike. I’m very happy with the performance of the 450SRS. Gets me away from cars quick enough for the street. Great commuting bike too. Enjoy and be safe too matey! 😎👍🏼
I don’t think US has that model available yet. I’m looking forward to see what they do with a 600 or the 1000 they got in the works. Going to take the industry by storm
I'm with you on the 675 triple and a potential v4 in the future. Not to mention the 500sr which should be a lot of fun.
Seems like good value for the money! Are those steel braided brake lines?
Yes, which is awesome to see for a bike with this price tag. It is a great value for money, in my opinion.
I'll wait for the 675
Im hoping to trade the 450 in once they bring the 675 out of concept. Maybe by 2026 which is a great time to do the trade in.
Hey Boss, do you have a video on the Tracer 9 gt? Odd question i know
Sadly no, Yamaha doesn't allow filming on demo rides and I haven't been able to connect with a yamaha dealer yet. Would love to try one to compare against the Tiger 900. Sorry man
It's a very fun bike to ride..
Completely agree! I added it to my stable of motorcycles and enjoy it everytime I take it for a ride. Stay safe and I appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion.
I just got a 2-way quick shifter installed on my 450SR/SS yesterday. It's more fun to ride it now. LOL
be safe, ride safe.
Nice what brand did you get?
@MotorcycleDemoRiders the brand is AT Racing. I got it from a friend here in the Philippines who sells CF MOTO parts and accessories.
Thats awesome. I've only been able to find an upshift only quickshifter at the moment. Guess I will need to pick one up in the Philippines when my wife(Filipina) and I get to come back to Davao. I'm just going to guess based on a video on your channel you are in Manila so may need to get my hands on a bike and do some filming with you while I'm there. Ride safe my friend I know the traffic you have to deal with.
Would you see any problems changing the mirrors out or are they fixed?
No they are easy to remove and replace. Note: They do have the turn signals integrated which is great for removal for track days but will need to have a replacement option for regular street riding.
did i not pick the best year to start, a new ninja 500, cf moto 450 sr-s, aprilia rs 457, so hard to choose
You do have some great options to choose from. It's crazy how good this market is getting for beginners and experienced riders alike. The more I look at the ninja 500, the more it bothers me! It just feels like Kawasaki could have done more. That said, you can't go wrong with any of them. Welcome, and I hope you stay safe and enjoy
If you use synthetic oil will that increase the oil change interval to 5k instead of 3k
Not really in my opinion. I've always used synthetic oil for all the bikes I've owned in the past 10 years(20 Different Models) and I follow the 3k rule on everything. When dealing with a bike since the oil is being shared with the clutch you always get some material in the system that it just makes sense to do a regular 3k oil change to make sure the system is as clean as possible. Now that said I do my own maintenance so in general its around $60 and an hour of work to do the oil so not bad. As I mentioned better to spend a small amount than deal with a bigger issue later. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the question. I hope it helps and hope you stay safe
Any diff between this 2024 vs 2023? Found the 2023 a lil cheaper, should I just spend the extra for the 2024?
Other than the color options, none that i can find. By all means, save the money.
thanks!
Not a bad 0 to 60 time
No it was decent and after break-in I think it will do better since it will rev higher.
You can wind out first gear to about 40mph and upshift once to hit about 60mph in 2nd. My 2023 450SS handles beautifully.
I can't believe how good this bike is for the money. Thanks for sharing your experience with it. Its a great thing when owners post the time they have had with a model. This bike has changed the segment and is forcing the industry to make changes and I love to see it. Appreciate you for taking the time. Stay safe
Been looking at this one as a commute bike for Los Angeles traffic. I ride a 1340cc and the constant stop and go (lane splitting gets dicey these days so I dont always do it anymore after getting hit in Glendale) gets exhausting. I know this is a beginner bike; but the weight of this, looks and low price is my reason for it. However; after years of riding large cruisers and previous cbrs (20 years of riding) will this bike feel too low on the power spectrum for me? I dont want super bike crotch rockets because i need the wife to know i wont be tempted to race a squid with a bigger bike. Lol
I can tell you I bought this and have been commuting on it ever chance I've gotten. Power is what you would expect from the class but its light and nimble to get through traffic comfortably. As I've gotten older I have really grown to appreciate bikes like this more and more. Just a fun inexpensive machine for new riders and experienced riders alike. I love it
Thanks brother!
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders Went to Orange County to get mine. I pick it up thurs. I plant to tint the window at a shop and then it will be a fun commuter. I was tempted to just trade in the FLSTF and just get a 1000cc but then im back to having a heavy bike, and a pissed off wife.
Purchased it. I've been commuting with it for a week now and feels great! Stop and go on it is easy.
Only downfall is if you have carpal tunnel your hands go numb after an hour of leaning on them. The tank is smaller than what im used to, so griping the tank with my thighs is a lot more of a workout but manageable. Its definitely less HP than im used to. Looking forward to the 675SR when it comes out to trade up. Also the BT connection ruins my waze app ability to see police reported ahead lol
Good lord look at that bulky heavy stock exhaust. That would be the first thing I change on a bike if it hadn't been changed already. So much weight in the pipes and exhaust assembly alone.
100% agree, and that would be the first aftermarket mod I would make on this bike. I looked and found the bracket to replace the passenger pegs all ready for $35 and a full exhaust system for $350. Not that it needs to be done, but after I got done filming and on my way home, I was already mod planning for a small bike track setup. I think I have a motorcycle addiction and may need help, lol. Stay safe, and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders most definitely, I'm a believer motorcycles should be heard and to ane extent it does help make others around you aware of your presence. Definitely would be a fun lightweight track bike. Thanks 🤙riding as safe as I can!
Video's stuck at 360p, is that intentional?
No, for some reason, youtube is taking longer than usual to process 4k. Had it scheduled to release and figured it would be done by that time. Sorry for the issue.
It's finally done processing in 4k. Took nearly 24 hours to process. Usually takes 2 or 3 hours.
Here's the deal. No one knows what the reliability on the CFMoto bikes are going to look like long term. Good luck getting a seat cowel! Or an oil filter. I can tell you, I have yet to find anyone who can provide you an oil filter, fairing replacement, or a fracking replacement puck. All of which a friend needs. He placed an order, direct from CFMoto, (since no dealers could get him anything in TX or OK) for all of the above in Sept and has yet to receive anything. My whole reason for watching this review, since I hate this bike, was hoping there would be something about maintenance/replacement parts. Trying to help my boy out.
I know it's in IL, but Randy's Cycle may be able to help you out and possibly ship things out to you. For the oil filter, the KN303. Sorry, your friend is having a difficult time. While I haven't had issues personally with CFMoto I have had issues with Aprilia in the past and i know how frustrating it can be.
@MotorcycleDemoRiders thank you! Will let him know. Agree on Aprilia. Subscribed to your channel too!
You are welcome, and thank you. I appreciate that, and I hope everything goes well.
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders Randy's Cycle like the one that used to be in Huntley IL? I grew up down the street form them. Used to go in there and look at bikes when I was a kid.
What color way bike is this?
The call it Zircon Black
is it bad for the bike going 80 in 4rth gear?
After break-in, this will rev to a little more than 12k. During break-in you want to give it a variety of revs but not to hold it at a range all day.
Inmy opinion they made the 2024 look worse than the 2023. I loved the blue, white and black graphics on the 2023
I can understand that. They did have a nice contrast in colors on the 2023 and did take a lot of the decals off the 2024 which in the White and Blue looked better on the 2023. I like the Black version better with the clean look vs the 2023. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it.
Fyi the 450ss 2024 is quieter than a 2023. Pointless info but some people care
That is good information to share thank you. I just got put a slip-on on mine to give it a little more sound.
No. I've learn't my lesson with Chinese companies.
That is of course something to keep in mind but CFMoto isn't the normal Chinese company. They are pushing the market to make things cheaper and better. This bike is a very good indicator of that fact. Triumph speed 400, Aprilia 457, Ninja 500. All are very cool bikes and aside from the Aprilia are relatively cost effective. As CFMoto builds out the dealer networks across the country it is a different animal and in 5 years will have carved out a nice part of the market. We are all entitled to our opinions and I can understand and respect yours even if I disagree. Ultimately we are all riders and I don't care what you ride just that your riding. Stay safe and thanks for sharing your opinion.
Too bad Parallel twins just sound like shit
I'm not the biggest fan of the 180 degree twins sound. I don't mind the 270s as much. My all time favorite is the V4 followed by the triples. Which is your preferred sound?
WoW that is a bike made in china! the bike look like a very custom bike that most people would do to add to other bikes, great price point. the be Q. would it last more then a year with out adding cost..... Ninja 400 or now ninja 500 a proving machine over 10 years and a lot of out side support group. hmmmm this is a hard choice, i do not know which one i will purchase this summer.
I love the ninja 400 but I'm frustrated by the "Ninja 500" or what they should have called the Ninja 450. I can tell you that I bought the 450SS I rode in this video because I loved it that much to add to my bike collection. I have pushed it fairly had for 2500+ miles and haven't had any issues with it personally. I doubled up on the oil changes (600, 1200 and 2400 miles) to be safe but to also check the oil and for metal shavings and haven't found or had any issues with it. I liked the performance and the look of the 450SS. Just my personal experence with it but I know that since CFMoto is relatively new to the US Market and the stigma of being a "Chinese bike" can play a factor and I respect that. I appreciate you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. No matter what you go with I hope you are safe and you enjoy the ride!
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders i so thank you for reply to my comment. your insight and experience will guide my purchase , thanks again.
