Hey I have a 2017 harley davidson sportster 883 I reck in May and I was just seeing if you wanted it
Where is yummie
I don't subscribe to anything only very rarely and man I just subscribed just watching one of your videos thank you lol
My favorite thing about this bike is aesthetically it looks NEW. If you look at the other big brands, their bikes have looked the same for a decade. The average person couldn’t tell the different between a 2013 and a 2023. Innovation encourages innovation, whether you like CFMoto or not, this bike will incentivize the other brands to step up their game.
is this a hint for the busas??
@@sonamgate7 TBH the Busa is long in the tooth but it's iconic. Honda and Kawi are the ones that heavily clone their bikes across models year after year and pretty much nothing to offer OEM wise other than an increase in MSRP.
@@ShikiKaze Lightning may hit me, but I have always hated the Hayabusa design. Always looked like a codged-together parts bin bike.
It also helps that they got the dude who designed Aprilia bikes to design the 450SS/SR. (Most) Aprilia bikes just straight up look great.
@@switcherlp780 I mean it ain't the prettiest bike but it still a legendary icon for dusting almost every heavyweight bike known to mankind until the HR2 Kawasaki sent out to kill people. And I get it. It's not my fav bike either. I'm more of a cruiser/classic myself. Plus the parts look similar to a TL1000S but stretched out.
My parents and I went to go look at bikes and I specifically wanted to see one of these. My mom saw this and was like "This was the bike I saw the other day and tried explaining it! It looks so cool, like a baby Ducati!." But, I think I am going to get one. It fit me way better than the RC390 and Ninja 400. I also liked the 700 CL-X Sport and Heritage. It was also fun because it was the first time in over 15 years we all went to go look at bikes together. My dad wanted to be with me when I got my first bike, but I lived in Alaska at the time and he lived in Texas. Now we are all in Texas and he is going to go riding with me the day I get my bike.
I have one I love it
Did you buy a zx-6r 😭
That sounds amazing. You’re lucky enjoy and ride safe
@@ethanethan5241 no. I had one a long time ago and had to sell it in 2018.
how tall are you? im 6'4 and im worried i may be too tall
Two days ago i bought my 450sr! i am so happy with this bike!
Hey, can you give a long term review?
in which country you bought it?
Greece@@sailorsk924
"The bike has been a lot of fun for me so far. I use it every day as my main mode of transportation, especially since we have good weather most of the time here in Greece. The bike is well-balanced and fun to ride, and with its 450cc engine, it has the power you're looking for. I haven't had any issues with it yet, and I make sure to get it serviced on time. The only reason I would consider getting a new bike is if they come out with a new model, which I think might happen soon. @horisonskies3868 😍 Keep mind, everyone on the road will looking you. She is so beautiful!
@@mrShazam Γεια σου ρε πατριδα! Καλοταξιδο!
I bought a 450ss as my first bike a couple weeks ago. It's been really fun to learn on. 👍Most mods are coming out of china and take a few weeks to ship but i think that will change before too long.
I was wondering how comfortable the seat and seating position actually are, I love the design but I also would like to tour longer distances 👍
R&G are releasing accessories for the 450SS soon.
@Rutch the seat is very comfortable in my opinion. A lot more comfortable that the MT-07. I have done 200-mile trips on this bike and had no problem with my butt being sore. Well I am 6'2 and my legs are a little crunched, but still comfortable. Probably one day, I will get new rear set for it . But over all for me, I am very comfortable on it.
@@Rutch I wouldn't call the seat comfortable but its not bad at all. I haven't had a problem with it so far but i also haven't been on that long of rides. There is at least one aftermarket seat you can buy that i've heard has more cushion if that's what you prefer.
Thanks for the info saggy balls!
I thoroughly appreciate your investment in these bikes to ensure that new riders such as myself can make informed decisions. You have answered questions I didn't even think to ask along with the ones I have been asking. You are amazing! OC!!
I appreciate that man. Trying to get yalls back!
OC: Hey, I saw my video in your video!
Happy to see the community is rallying around the 450SS. There were doubters, and there are still haters, but I believe the future is bright for the 450SS. ☀️😎
CFMOTO is here to play, so let’s play. 💪
My brother got his 2 days ago, and I drove it 120 miles home for him as he doesnt have his endorsement yet. I WISH this bike existed when I first started riding. Ive ridden dozens of different bikes and TYPES of bikes. This has been the absolute BEST under 600cc motorcycle I've ever ridden.
have you ridden a cb500? im considering getting this or a cbr 500
i have ridden a cbr500r 2019 for about 4 months in which i have had 28000km with it when i have sold it. i haven’t had a single problem with it so that’s why i respect honda for making super good and reliable bikes. i sold it some months ago and now im looking forward to buying a cfmoto 450srs 2024. overall honda cbr500r 2019 left me a really good impression and i would recommend it for an a2 license and a begginer rider.
The cbr 500 despite being a 500 is slow. Compaired to the 450SS.
slightly faster 0 to 60 by like .4 of a second@@JessicaSimonson1976
I'm in Australia but like your points it will take time to see how it stands up to life, so I'll keep watching to see how it travels and lasts
Getting my endorsement in a few weeks, went on a fact finding mission to a few dealerships and love the look and non-moving feel on this thing, also I took an intro rider course on a cfmoto 300 and loved that too
I really hope you keep making videos about this bike! I started watching you years ago around the time of the ultimate garage build and the dual vlogs and since then i wanted a motorcycle. Finally decided it was time to get a 450 and I’ve loved it ever since i got it!
Picked mine up yesterday! Last blue and white one in the whole state of Arkansas!
I love my CFMOTO 450SS I NEVER rode before and been riding to work everyday lol. Been getting compliments every time I’m riding
Your advice on the dealer network is spot on. It is one reason why I haven't gone to look at an Indian Scout or a Triumph since the closest Indian dealer is almost two hours away. The closest Triumph dealership is just over an hour away. Whereas are there are several Japanese dealerships in my metro area plus two Harley dealers. One of the Japanese dealerships also sells CFMoto and BMW motorcycles. Repair and parts availability is very important.
I already got a crash cage and exhaust from Ali express. Got my wife the same 450ss as her first bike down here in Mississippi!
How's the build quality of the cage?
@TheRealMelinko most of the cages have terrible mount locations. That clamp around the frame vs bolting directly into it. The one I got does both so it's stronger. The welds aren't the prettiest but they're solid and the powdercoating is nice. It's a solid bead with no spatter. Looks like a machine did it so I trust it. And it was only 168$
@@andrewporter386 do you have a link?
I have a ZX6 as my track bike...but I really want one of these as a cheap second track bike. It would be a fun little bike that would be cheap to operate at the track.
Thanks for another great video on the 450SS. I just got my cycle endorsement and am looking for a first bike. I originally wanted a Grom, but saw a Papio in a dealership, which led me to look into the CF Moto brand. Fell in love with the 450 and tomorrow I'm hopefully going back to check one out, see if I fit on it, etc. Hopefully spring of '24, I'll be riding my own. Thanks again!
Good luck with it!
Don’t get anything below 300cc trust me
@@cristiansosa6173you can but if interested in hwy riding then nothing under 300 minimun
My driving school actually had one .Smooth ride .Felt in love with it
im rlly glad to see this bike doing well. dont ride yet, but when i can afford it, imma get this bike.
Glad we have Southeastern Motorcycle in Savannah who is a CFMOTO dealer.
Great video, thanks for the information!
Thank you for making another video on this bike.
I'm a beginner rider and I love the cruisers. However I'm seriously thinking of buying one CF Moto. Great price and 5 years warranty here in Belgium, besides the quality.
I'm not a sportsbike fan but I can't wrap my head around it how amazing this bike looks... 🤩🤩
GOGO more videos on the 450ss im getting one soon!! I'm looking forward to customize
New subscriber and I love what you’re putting out! Thanks for the work my friend! 🏍️
I loved your video man, I'm definitely buying this bike. Great advice, great youtuber, great bike :]
Great enthusiasm and nice bike!
OC - Yes. Gimmi more of this. Give us a whole series of videos of you crossing the country. Maybe stop and do some little events here and there if you can afford it. Go race a track or something.
OC love the vid man can’t wait to get mine 👏🏾
I was shocked to see a Cfmoto dealer in my little podunk town in the middle of Ohio. Just picked mine up about 4 weeks ago, loving it!
Athens has one too.
How’s it going so far, can you give a long term review?
I saw this bike last week for the first time and I was amazed at the looks of it. I have never heard of it before.
Love the video. I saw it at the dealership in my town. The 450 ss looks awesome. I have the clx sport. Looks like it is time to add the 450 ss.
I plan on getting this bike over the Ninja 400 as my first bike.
Do you bough one? I’m thinking the same about that decision
Because of these sales talks? Man, first drive both and think about Kawasaki having 50 years of experience. CFmoto is just starting and that shows when you are driving one.
Why because it's cooler?
Ninja: 399 cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC 8-valve parallel twin.
48.9 horsepower.
27 lb-ft.
Weight wet: 370lbs (167.8kgs)
Seat Height: 30.9 inches (785 mm)
Kawasaki proven and tested
450ss: 449 cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC 8-valve parallel twin.
50 horsepower.
28.8 lb-ft.
Weight wet: 391 lbs (177 kgs)
Cfmoto new to the game
450ss advantages looks it has winglet that doesn't make sense, more cc more power by 1hp. Disadvantage so damn heavy for a beginner sports bike
Well if you go just because of the appearance go for it! anyway it's still a good bike
OC. I can't wait to see the mods you put on this bike. Are you thinking of doing a tune if possible?
OC!! Great video, per usual!
There's a good amount of aftermarket parts for the CFMoto 450SR/SS in Asia. Most people buy aftermarket parts online anyway.
I had CFMoto’s 250 automatic bike and loved it
I’d love to see more about the display and the app! Strongly considering picking one of these up within the next couple weeks! OC!
App is great tells where your bike is at all times.
OC! I want the Nebula White 450SS as my first beginner bike, but the supply says nope! My closest dealership (20ish miles away) sold both 450s in two hours of putting them on the showroom floor and they're not expecting more for months! There are 4 other dealerships within 100 miles and they're all sold out. I've only seen one 450SS in the wild and it looks great. Thanks @chaseontwowheels for putting out videos for me to drool at!
As for reliability, there's a reason why the oil filter you showed says it fits a line of KTM motorcycles. It's a story as old as time, a big company starts having components or entire products made in Japan, China or India and then about 10 years later that country springs up as a manufacturer that challenges or even replaces the original company that basically taught them how to build a quality product in the first place.
Yep and CF Moto has been making small displacement KTM bikes AND their big displacement engines since 2013, so if you can trust KTM you can trust CF moto.
OC! I really hope to get this as my first street bike. Just gotta convince the wife to let me xD. Ride safe and enjoy everyone! And thank you Chase for all these detailed videos you do.
I am about to buy this bike next week, can't wait to ride it!
How did you like the bike so far? I cant decide between this one and a honda cbr500r.
Looking to buy in one or two weeks from today and its going to be my first bike!
If you’re in the Saint Louis, MO area, go to Chesterfield, Saint Louis Powersports. Daryll will take good care of you. Great experience.
IXIL has officially released their slip on Exhaust for the CFmoto 450SS. Aftermarket parts are already becoming more prominently available. It’s gonna start rolling out fast now.
Was waiting for this video from you dude! Would love to see more on this bike. In Europe they come with a 5 year warranty wich is more than any other manufacturer.
I love everything about this bike other than the size. I am 6' 220lbs and I currently own a 700 CL-X and love it. I would like to see them make a 700ss as the 450 is just a bit small and underpowered for me. But no doubt I love my CL-X. I also ride a Harley EG.
They're making a V4 Superbike as we speak
coming from someone who's first was a 2009 ninja 250.. i'm happy to say this is my second buy im buying in two weeks. was torn between the ninja 400 and this. the 400 was supposed to be my first bike but my stepdad forced me with the 250.
You've likely made some mistakes on your 250 that weren't a big deal but could've been pretty bad on a 400. Smart stepdad
My most favorite channel when it comes to motorcycle. Thank you for the details. I'm thinking whats the best for me if its R3 or CFmoto. Watching from the Philippines
@Chaseontwowheels Great overview on 450SS!! Keep it up! Im looking for my first bike and im between 450ss and 300ss. Should I consider 300ss at all or go directly for 450ss? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for making a video like this
OC! 2 wheels down. Ride safe, bro! 🏍🏍
I do like the looks of this bike. The fairing pucks are a nice touch too. I seem to remember the old Honda ST1100 had a similar arrangement on the fairing lowers. I wonder with the CFMoto, will the pucks touch down before the wings?
Getting the 2024 model soon, nebula white. Great info in the video to consider before buying. Tst industries also has some great mods for the 450ss. Really looking forward to watching more of your content and learning! Thanks for what you do, from one idiot to another,😂!!
Oddly enough, there are 6 CFMoto dealers within an hour of my house. There are only 2 Yamaha within that range. I normally do all my own maintenance including valve adjustments, so a dealer really isn't a biggie for me. Usually you can find parts online for less.
OC: test rode this bike the other day and fell in love. Could you do a track day video?? 👀
After your last video, first thing, I checked to see where a dealer would be. It is almost 6 hours away for me. There is one closer but I'd have to cross the boarder into America from Canada. Cool as it is... other brands are around me almost like gas stations. They're everywhere. if there were more dealers, it would make this bike go much higher on my list.
My local dealership that’s about 10 miles from me sells the CFMoto 450 SS. They had about seven on the floor. Such a beautiful bike. They were incredibly nice as well and said they were selling the 450 SS like crazy
If someone is ok with buying a KTM, then they should be ok with buying this bike. CF Moto and KTM have partnered together to make these new bikes.
Great content! It really strengthened my thought about join the CF Moto family once I get my endorsement❤
Few hundred miles.... Bish I got 2300 on mine in the first month of owning and love it.
After market support is a big one.
My Grom, just about anything you can think of will be available.
My CRF230M, I have to cross reference frequently and guess if other bike parts fit.
I have a dealer 20 minutes from my house thankfully. I’d love to get one eventually!
Me chilling with a dealership 5 minutes away from my house
Bought this bike one month ago! This is my first bike so I cant compare it to any other besides just sitting on the competetors at dealerships, But, I have loved all 500 miles I have put on this bike! So many people shout out "nice bike" or "that bike is sick"! Please everyone wake up and realize theres no sport bike close to this one at this price point!
Glad I saw this video. Closest cfmoto dealership to me is in Nashville, over 2 hours away. Not dealing with that lol
What's your build like? I'm looking to get my first bike and have been eyeing the ninja 400 and this cf moto 450ss. I'm 6' 215lbs. Bike seems to move well from your videos on the 450ss. I'll be cruising back roads to and from work mostly. However if I need to hop on the highway here and there I'd like to option to do so with comfort and safety in mind. Thoughts? Opinions? This video gave me things to consider so I really appreciate you making it. Would you choose one bike over the other?
Great value motorcycle IMO. I've got a dealer 4 miles from me, and my wife stepped up from a 2019 CBR300R to this CFM450SS- it's been great so far.
That’s a logical progression. I had a cbr300r and loved it. It checked the boxes I needed and when I moved up I actually went to the cbr650r and I love it as well. Everything I’m hearing about the Cfmoto’s right now is good. A lot of bang for the buck. Hope y’all have fun!
@someoneelse1i1i right on! I think she'll finish up on the CBR650R. She's got her MSF BRC down, and going to BRC2 in October- the 300 was really good for her and she's enjoying the extra torque and top end speed from the 450SS. I've noticed her aversion to highway riding is going away now on the CF450SS. I'm going to give it 2 to 3 years and she'll probably make the step up to the i4 650R. I was a diehard Kawi guy, but these Hondas have been growing on me! Keep the rubber side down🤙
Both BMW and CFMOTO dealerships are about a 10 minute drive away from our home :) I have a home in the Fredericksburg, Va area and Extreme Powersports, located on Lafayette Blvd has both the KTM brand and CFMOTO brand. Then I have Morton's BMW in close proximity to Extreme Powersport, located on Route 1(Patriot Highway). So, I have the best of both worlds :) ...Personally, I would not do Suzuki, Aprilia, or Ducati simply because the dealerships are simply too far to have something fixed or for maintenance..
All that is on Ali Express, Amazon, and Dealers within 2-3 months post offering. Amazon offers All OEM fairings, tanks, seats, winshields.
The NK450 is for sale here in the Philippines. Will it come out in the U.S.? If it is can't wait for you to review it.
OC great vid!
YES more 450ss specific vids please. I am enjoying my 300nk as my daily to keep miles off my Ram, and looking at a 700CLX or an Aprilia RS660. So many good bikes right now, I just can't pick one. Oh, and the 450sr-s and the 800nk...I hate this.
I can’t wait for that 450sr-s it looks so good. Im curious how different the price will be
Me too I really want the 450 srs but I'm intrested in the 800 nk too
I have rn a 300 nk too
@@edogaddo6486 How do you like your NK? Have you found a way to use the CFMOTO app for the GPS feature? Mine constantly is disconnecting from my phone, but also gives me false directions and sometimes does not move to the next turn in the directions sequence.
@@switcherlp780 I have the 450 and I’ve only used the CF Moto app for GPS a few times. It mostly worked perfectly fine but there was times where my phone would keep disconnecting but it always connected back. I’m sure this is a bug in the system that they’ll fix sooner or later. Especially with how popular the bike is becoming. I know the app won’t have these problems forever
It sure is a sharp looking and sounding bike. I'm looking forward to the reviews of the 450NT (the naked version).
Ok,Chase no need to have to worry about OEM parts. There's another YouTuner who has it figuured out. I'll put his page here for you if you need additional help for the CF-Moto.
Nice video, considering a cfmoto now. (Netherlands). OC.
I crashed my 450SS a month ago but when I did the only things that were damaged are the fairings and the built-in frame slider
I pick mine up tomorrow 😊
Great advise!
Im waiting for this ones big brother.
I'd recommend all riders to learn your bike and how to basic service it yourself. As a certified auto mechanic I can say I do my own service now even on my bikes. It pays, literally and figuratively. Granted I can't do balancing because I don't have a machine, but that's about all I can't do myself. This bike is 100% worth of you can service it yourself, and it's 80% worth if you can't and you're not close to a Shop.
i have a good reason why i want this bike cause of "cfmoto 450 sr vanhool exhaust" it sounds so good
Hey man, i have been contemplating whether i should get 450ss or R3, I am getting the 450ss in few months and i will definitely make a video about it lol
Ooo, plz do a 450ss vs r7, since you've done so much beginner content on an r7 😋
OC: I think that over time CFMoto will prove their a reliable brand. After all I do believe KTM has CFMoto building and assembling a few of their bikes. Pretty sure the reliability questions come from the history of Chinese motorcycles and scooters being spotty at best. With a decent size group of people being burned by bikes made with substandard parts and materials and having overall poor fitment and finish to the bike. But off the bat the 450SS looks to be the best looking lower CC beginner bike on the market and with time we'll definitely see floods of aftermarket support probably close to the kinda support the MT07 receives as dealers can't keep that bike in stock. By that time I'm sure all reliability concerns about the 450SS will be put to rest.
I didn't buy a CFMoto expressly because the local "dealer" only would work on CFMoto ATV's. It is certainly something to look for when making travel plans that not all dealers of a brand will even look at your motorcycle, warranty or no.
OC. I'm not gonna lie. I'm listening to this at work and I was like is he riding a R1 or MT10 while talking about the CF moto? The bike sounds great!
Hey man, I'm looking at getting this bike I know its a new bike and I was wondering what like the wear of this bike is like. I personally feel really comfortable getting like a 2014 Honda or Yamaha, but how is this going to hold up over the years is it built with the same sort of quality?
Hi chase, greats from Colombia, Can you make a video showing us your recording equipment? Especially the microphone you use and the ND filters
Looks cool but I am happy with my 22 CBR 500R great bike
White color option gives some futuristic tron or drone vibes while black gives night falcon vibes. Hard to choose which one 😩.
Ktm owns 49% of cf moto. The Ibex 800 is the ktm 790 engine made by cf moto. I'm thinking the 450ss has ktm DNA too weather that's a good or bad thing. I've had good luck with my ktm dirt bikes.
They're gonna make a big sport bike soon. 2025ish. They have deals with component mfgs that are beyond legit. At $10k, a balls-out cf moto with WP suspension and Brembos on board is an outside maybe. North of $10k, an all-around pass I'm afraid. The value and the style are the only reason to consider this over something (anything) else. The 450SS has that in spades. If the value on their big bike isn't there, well, why not just have a sport bike from someone you've heard of? The value is their best card to play.
I agree!
I also live in Atlanta area and the dealer you go is the closest one to me.
I bought the CLX 700 sport for a very good price and I am buying one of the 450SS too.
Most of the points mentioned in the video i have researched.
So far, very, very happy with my first cfmoto bike.
Hi. I've got a new 450 about a month ago and I was wondering do you get a uncomfortable clunk or thud when you change gears? The gear thud or clunk is worse on down shifts. I've taken the bike back to the dealers and they tell me this is normal. Can you remember if you felt this clunking in your ride?
I think that if you have the capability to do so, people will want to see and hear different exhaust options for this be it a simple slip-on to full header back systems. Other things people might want to see is what performance increases are afforded by these different systems and whether they required a remap of the ECU. What tail tidy kits are available and how do they look? I know you kinda put in a plug for R&G, but TST Industries offers one as well along with different rear signal options that you can package in.
What I think would be truly awesome is if CF Moto offered the undercarriage cowl as a standalone part that could be integrated into the NK model with a scoop behind the front wheel. I would love to see more options for Street Fighter builds for the NK as well. The beauty of these two bikes is that they are already very good looking machines and utilize the exact same chassis so retro-fitting different components between the two should be easy breezy.
The question of reliability IMO is moot because the engines themselves have already been proven in the KTM machines. I am curious to see how long it will be before there is a KTM model rocking the 450 mill? It has all kinds of advantages over the 390 and shows immense potential in the market. I think it helps that CF Moto has a former Ducati engineer as a chief design consultant for their Street division of bikes that while most of them share powerplants with their KTM partners they have a distinct look and fit & finish that sets them apart from being a rebadged KTM offering. Gotta love options.
I am shook! I wanted an MT 07 for about three months now. I have close to 18 months experience on smaller displacement bikes but I was so close to making my decision on the upgrade. Seeing the cf moto 450 NK REALLY MESSED ME UP HAHAHAHA. Now I’m indecisive. I hope Yamaha makes an MT05 hahaha I think it would be the perfect bike 🤞🏽
OC, it's January 2024. Looking for 800nk videos when you come back. Hope you are enjoying your time
I would be very thankful if you tell us which exact helmet is this !
OC.. great vid.
Thinking about getting one of these just to get back on two wheels, I’m sure 50 hp is just enough to have some fun with. Could always go down a tooth in the front depending on the gearing
