Great review of a great looking little machine. Excellent enthusiasm 👌

[@SSPENGUIN1]

Thank you for the quality review. i really want this bike.

[@theloftybiker3090]

go get one....thanks for watching

[@malek5003]

Very glad to have found your channel! Been very interested in CFMotos recently and am considering the 800MT when it comes to the UK. Main reason I say I’m happy to find your channel is because I’m 6ft6 and you’ve helped me realise that something like this looks quite comedic on big guys haha👍🏿Good review mate

[@ericpallesco8024]

Thanks for the review. I bought one this week. I love the way it looks!

[@spiderthenics9462]

Any updates on the bike ? Any negatives or something thats better than you expected ?

[@ericpallesco8024]

@@spiderthenics9462 I haven’t had any complaints. I’m about to put new tires on after 6000 miles.

Seen one of these today at a dealer here in Australia and damn, actually looks the goods. Plus brembo brakes on a bike that's 10 grand AUD? Seems crazy value.

[@theloftybiker3090]

It'sone hell of a bike for the money....personallyI do prefere the CL700X Heritage coming soon l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FMI27cZoF5PU%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1uJBMiUCTZWuO2J5lBfpQPZrtHgzmTYQVNq1XlPYu5lf00tanYDvZnBs0&h=AT3q8y1rBsnTCPDyN45Mm8ya1tjooc9KrZug-J-kxWAiGxlTmzMytiyhMfLU-r7Tgg66gcQ5KPlJFjNp_COJfig1IrdFraYo9lqJdFqd9Ef3amBr1LwGdDHkFw0Z_rInr7E

mate a I bought 2 scrambles after testing ducati 800 triumph trident 660 and that great exhaust sound underrated great bike fueling feeling a bit flat 3k revs but after first service fixed no where as bad as ktm etc fun bike and handles off road.superb gearbox cluthless shifting.great review!

[@theloftybiker3090]

There was a fix for the snatchy throttle on the Ducati 800 scrambler......the throttle slide from the Deasert Sled had a much slower action, giving a much smoother delivery.

[@MGman100]

Lovely looking bike and great for those cornish roads

[@derekjames4848]

Cfmoto coming on strong with there bikes just seen the 800mt up close here in Belfast looks well can’t wait for your view on that keep up that great 👍 work 👍👍 this could be the one after my 650 mt

[@theloftybiker3090]

CFMOTO650RS next week and the 800MT touring the following week, both great bikes

[@glenquagmire7724]

Never heard of it before a few days ago. Both this and the 300cc model does look really nice. Refreshing style.

[@theloftybiker3090]

Build quality looks good.... residuals remain to be seen.....I taking the 650Gt and the 700 heritage out this week

[@stevieneilson2451]

Loved the review. You remind me of me ha ha. I love all motorcycles and have had over 200. I still get a thrill on all sizes of bikes. I had the CFMOTO 300NK for a couple of month over the winter and loved it. I own an interceptor 650, Versys 650 and an MT09. Just bought a Z900rs cafe 😆

[@theloftybiker3090]

Great stable.........love the 900RS a great bike

Great review, thankyou. Had a look at a heritage local dealer. Their getting some adventures shipped from south next couple wks. Will contact me for test ride both, make a decision which to buy. Cannot wait, well priced. Hi from Queensland, Australia.

[@theloftybiker3090]

You are welcome Jam Tin

[@mingliu671]

Got the sport model a couple months ago in China, and now on its 1300km, everything is great to me. You can not feel it is a 200kgs machine when riding. Brake is great and the fork/suspension are also great on its stock setting(I am 80kgs and178cm height).

[@theloftybiker3090]

It's a great bike

[@seanpenn9357]

I will ride it to Tibet by end of August😃

[@bramskahoon4072]

My next purchase after my use with 650NK as i am still on my restricted...yes been eyeing this one out!

[@theloftybiker3090]

I'm still waiting to ride the 700 heritage.....its looks ace

[@Leberdj]

I own the Heritage/Classic model. Been great fun in the hills in my city. You're right about the flat spot between 4-5g, hopefully after the first service it settles in. I don't like that the fuel gauge is not very accurate, once you get below half a tank it starts reading as nearly empty (flashes). The ABS could be a little less touchy too but that's not too big of an issue

[@theloftybiker3090]

Thanks for sharing!...... could you let me know how the bike is after the first sercice please? I'm not a big fan of fuel guages on bikes. Alway fill full and zero the trip.

[@AlterationProduction]

How tall are you and what do you think of the ergonomics?

@@AlterationProduction I'm 5'10" and it's a really comfortable ride. My regular weekend rides are a few hours and when I get off I'm not sore at all. Body ergos are really nice for my size,

"No poncy TFT".........spot on! That would be irrelevant to basic motorcycling and probably hundreds of pounds to replace

[@theloftybiker3090]

It's a very good bike based on older tech......thanks for watching

[@timrush8407]

Hello Lofty, nice real world of the cf moto 700 sport. I'm considering the heritage version, do you have a review in the pipeline.

[@theloftybiker3090]

Well theres one for you......Mark did get one in for me to review. While it was waiting to be PDI'd, a cutomer walk in and bought in! Waiting for another one now. THhe sport ib trick, but I like the looks otf the heritage more

[@marcbrasse747]

I think CF beats many other brands in the styling department, Chinese or not. I could be very happy with this if it is reliable. Except the weight that is. Ideally it should be 20 to 25 kg lighter.

[@theloftybiker3090]

The new CF moto range is very exciting....the engines are either Kawasaki or KTM based...they are even making KTM and Yamaha bikes too.......thanks for watching

[@user-tv4oz6kf7h]

Hello bro nice to see a Chinese motor in UK thanks for your review it’s really great I’m planning to buy this myself, I’m wondering what’s the price in UK ?

[@user-tv4oz6kf7h]

Sorry bro I’ve already saw the price in your video thanks

The royal enfield gt650 is the same price as this in Aus. Im assuming the RE has a nicer exhaust sound, Which bike would you recommend if had to pick one?

[@theloftybiker3090]

The RE Continetal GT is a wonderfull clasic styled bike. This CF Moto in 700 Sport or Heritage trim is a far more modern styled Bike.........to ride every day, I would go test ride the 700 Heritage

Wish I could get the flat seat and bars with the brembos and 17’s

[@theloftybiker3090]

I believe the CF 700 heritage comes with flat bars, but a 19'' front

[@kakoolonkakoolon]

Hi I just got a cf moto 700clx sport But I am struggling to find insurance for it Any suggestions will be much appreciated thanks

[@theloftybiker3090]

This is often the case with a new model......try the CF Moto forums for guidance.......generally being old with loads of no claim bonus helps....sorry I can't be of more help

[@riderookie]

Would you pick this one over honda cb650?

[@theloftybiker3090]

I think the answer would come down to availability and price.........

[@yasseralsaidi1168]

Not bad at all

[@NewTechChannel]

Hello Sir. What do think of this as a first bike?

[@theloftybiker3090]

Superb first bike, I'd go ride one. The Sport or the Hreratage either would be suitable. The Heratage has flatter bars.

[@yasseralsaidi1168]

I would purchase this
