2023 CF Moto 800 Explore | First Impressions Review | Clubby's World of ADV

[@waynemorgan5017]

Hey Guys, I work for a CF Moto dealer and get to PD many MT 800's. They are great value for money. Bang for Buck. Great entry motorcycle. Thank you for your honest evaluation. As Clubby said, out of the Box, excellent ride.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Clubby was impressed. A decent 1200 Kilometres over 3 days is a useful trip to appreciate the bikes capability.

[@steveh100]

Had to google how much this might be in the UK, £8750.... CRF300RALLY £6500.... Transalp £9500 without the extras... this makes the thinking that the extra tech on bikes usually puts them out of my range vanish... an eye opener for most of us... and let's face it spending big bucks on other brands doesn't always equal reliability and build quality. Good to see Clubby.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Interesting alternative.

[@whatstrue1481]

I have one of the first 800MT Touring bikes and after the fueling software upgrade it has been absolutely brilliant! Seat height is related to ones inseam length and for a short arse like me its still a stretch because the brilliantly comfortable seat is quite wide reducing your reach to the ground but at least I can manage this bike not like most of the adventure bikes! My other bike is a BMW 1200 RS and it is also not smooth at that 2500 - 3000 rpm range at 50 - 60mh/hr going through towns. My Ducati`s low speed fuelling was way worse! Over all this is a great bike even before you factor in the price.....!

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

That's for that information. It was very useful. Great to get owners commenting.

[@robarlow2516]

I've just ordered one & it should arrive at the New Zealand dealership in a couple of days. I used to race motor cross back in the day on a Suzuki TM 250. With a suspension of only around 6" at the end of a race you were nakered. After a break from this I got back into Trail riding on a range of bikes from Suzuki, Kawasaki & Gasgas. I've watched heaps of youtube videos on this bike & I cant wait to jump on it, wrap my knees around the tank & go mental 👍👍

[@hondaexplorer]

Great video Dave and Clubby (as per usual!), it’s a serious consideration for most weekend warriors for the price and standard inclusions! Thanks again!

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

I think for many riders it would be ideal and would get them into the sport for a reasonable price.

[@FirstnameLastName-sx8ls]

Why weekend warriors? I just saw several up on the Dempster from Massachusetts. The riders loved them. I'm just looking to get into the sport and may get into this brand?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

@@FirstnameLastName-sx8ls I think 'weekend warriors' has been lost in translation. It's not a derogatory term, for me it means average riders.

[@pimpshark]

With the rear radar, tubeless tyres and all the other goodies. It’s a 30K bike. Great review.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Except for the ABS and Traction control accessibility and suspension componetry, so not quite but impressive nonetheless,.

[@pimpshark]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV it's got KYB suspension ? Traction control is overrated anyway. Guys need to learn to how to ride and not worry about traction control. 😄 I'm just looking at everything again. KTM 790 engine. Quick shifter. Heated seat. Heated grips. Bosch EFI. Apple CarPlay. Android Auto. The bloody thing even has built in GPS ?

[@probuilder961]

Agreed on the ABS. I rode a 1986 Ninja 900 across the entire USA, coast to coast & back. Of course, I grew up riding dirt bikes. I would buy this bike for sport touring, not off road. I have a KTM 350 EXC-F for dirt & this is an affordable 2nd bike.

[@WogsRus1]

For all those watching the new updates have completely changed the way the system operates and you can change all the bike modes on the fly in the first three modes, as long as the throttle input is zero. Separately, the star button is a shortcut the user can present to suit themselves. The new interface and the like have completely changed this bike and user interface to be 100% better than before and puts the bike twice the price to shame. The newest version of the software is 1.00.61 for Australia. One thing to note with the rear cross-traffic alert, addition to the display, should the car behind you be coming up to fast, the bike will also flash its rear brake light and a secondary high impact red light, to try and alert the driver of the bikes presence.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thank you for posting

[@orwellianyoutube8978]

I am so happy with CFMoto. This puts allot of other brands on notice. I hope CFMoto sells like crazy and other brands rethink their crazy prices.

We test the 450 very shortly.

[@grantcrossley1132]

Great review. I’ve got the first Model 800MT. I love it. The fueling has been sorted now with an update from CFMoto via the App. I could do the software update at my home using the app on my phone. Dave mentioned that Clubby wasn’t so enthusiastic about it after riding the first model. I think you guys didn’t get a long enough ride on it and the new software wasn’t available then. The new software has made big difference. The first model rides the same as the new explorer except it doesn’t have the new ride modes.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Thanks for making us aware of this.

[@lloydjones3041]

I will disagree with your call that the fueling has been sorted, it has not ("The fueling has been sorted now with an update from CFMoto via the Ap" ) NAH cant agree , I got mine done it was better but realy not that good. I have installed a DNA filter , done the reset to calibrate the throttle position sensor and removed the oxygen sensors by installing the smart moto 'plug and play ' it now runs pretty well now.

[@geofferyrobertson6608]

base model is $14,500 , I have not read all about it but would say something to do with the computer would be why its cheaper . there is another model called the limited edition for the same as the explore . another great video fellas , great walk through Mr Cubby and Steven Spielberg on the camera . good to hear one can turn everything off to go back to the old days . that's why Stoner stopped riding or one of the reasons................. great work fellas keep them coming Cheers

thanks

[@robpinter5431]

Looks like a good value for money motorcycle as a ADV touring bike for big trips and the lifetime lap of Oz. A software update could sort the clunky screen navigation to be more intuitive in the future. Value is that it has all the required items that are aftermarket for other brands. Thanks Clubby and Dave.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Yeah good points Rob. Clubby was keen on it. It clearly impressed him.

[@joeybobbie1]

Hi Dave and Clubby from Texas. Man Clubby was smiling Ear to Ear about the Bike. I can’t believe how much this Bike comes with, it has everything. The Chinese covered all the Bases on this one. The only thing that would make me wait to Buy one, is the long Term reliability. Really on everything from the Engine to the Shocks, Frame, everything. By the Time all that is settled, I will probably be ready for a New Bike anyway. For everything you get with this Bike Stock at that Price point. I think CF Moto will be outselling everything on the Market. If anything, maybe it will force the big Names to lower the Price of their Bikes, or at least include all the Goodies Stock. Thanks for the Review.👍👍

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

It certainly is a disrupter to the mid sized twins.

[@stephenpettitt5765]

I’ve decided to give it a crack. Picked mine up yesterday. Currently 4 bikes in the garage and two are BMW’s, one being a GSA. I’m with Clubby on this, there are a lot of positives and it rides well. It’s not engineered like a BMW but I would say it’s a fusion of good parts that are well finessed, and it has literally everything. This morning it was 5 degrees and the heated seat 👍🏻 it’s a winner.

"KTM engine reliability," Are these things anyone has ever said? LOL. It will be interesting to see if the engine is reliable. This could answer the question of whether KTM reliability issues are inherent in the engineering or they just can't build them right.

Well very exciting. Now. It should be about time for the 50.000 km review. Before I buy I want to see a review after some ownership.

[@robkeogh4593]

I got the limited when it came out in the first gen and im rapt. If they bring her out with the same colour i might trade her in. And becausr of the value, i could afford to put some Shinko's on it, plus a heap of fruit from cfmoto and it still came in umder $16500 12 months ago. The fuelling was fixed with a bit of alteration in the airbox and a throttle reset. Only thing i wish my first gen had was switchable abs. Of course theres a fix for that in the forums as well.

Great video and bike! I am very disappointed they didn't do the low side fuel tanks. I think the KTM adv with saddle tanks makes so much sense for an adv bike. As long as there is a really stout bask plate protection front, sides, and bottom it can be designed to protect your feet as well as get the weight much closer to the center of the bike. That makes it easier to pick up to which is important for us, uh, mature riders.

About performance I didn't yet tested 100% because still in break-in range. Anakee adventure tyres are very "glued" at ground, but very, very noisy at cornering. Hope this will end while riding a lot. Voice command I think based on SIRI platform, and only in english at the moment (I'm italian and is not a problem to give voice command in english, but it's just for better perfection :))).

It had all the features here with the exception of some of the tech options, i.e. no TC, ABS not switchable, only 2 ride modes and limited connectivity options with your phone. Also, sat-nav was only available through the CF Moto app and only route guidance on the TFT, no map.Oh, and none of the lane departure/collision alert tech.

[@jordanblair5410]

Interesting review. I test rode a 650 Adventura this week and I was surprised at the good power, but the fueling is not good. Let off the gas and it feels like the brakes are on, and then lightly twist the throttle and it jerks ahead -- pretty much impossible to be smooth in that transition. My '21 Suzuki Van Van 200 has a similar feeling, but because of the much smaller engine capacity, it's not as problematic. And on a partly cloudy day, I was riding north with sun behind me and the display was completely washed out -- I could see nothing. These kinds of things should be handled through validation testing at the manufacturer, and the fact that they weren't leads me to believe that there are probably other components that weren't fully tested. As the reviewer stated, the buyer can save thousands of dollars in purchase price compared to the Japanese or European branded bikes if you're willing to accept sacrifices both in ownership satisfaction and in resale value.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Yep value

[@oihus]

Wow, this seems great! Adaptive cruise control or regular style?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Not sure.

[@michaelraftery2630]

Regular

[@westwardsmile]

I've been looking for a bike to start riding. I want an adventure/touring bike so I was thinking the Norden 901 or the 890 adventure r, but buying a 15000 USD bike to learn on seemed crazy. So I think this is the one

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Learning ADV is most likely best on a 650 single or less to be frank. Get a second hand bike at a very reasonable price, most likely already set up and go ride it. If you haven't ridden much dirt the last thing you need is a bike that weighs more than 200 kgs.

[@westwardsmile]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV I was thinking a bigger bike because I'm a literal giant I'm 6ft 5inch and 250 lbs. I completely understand what you are saying maybe I'll pick up a used DRZ or something similar

[@baumie461]

Is there another review on this coming up? Deciding on this or the new 450.....but the whole Chinese thing is still a worry

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Get used to it. What about the filipines or Thailand.

[@rickyzoom8059]

I’m looking at a Tiger 900. Did Triumph copy the CFmoto 800?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

No!

[@Kabanaboy6]

....omg...i just watched this video again...#4😅...please come to Canada 2024

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

OK :)

[@Tec2Nut]

I was going to buy a 2022 Nordon expedition, but this for 1200 euro more makes more sence, taughts.

[@MrWibbleman]

And a ktm engine right.?

[@mrjay4000]

If only 21" for off road. I would happily pay more for 21" front wheel and 18" rear, but I don't think this bike is designed for serious off road as there also is no compression adjustment for the rear suspension.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Good point

[@RealHooksy]

A mate bought the old model for about $14.5k and I was thinking what do you get for an extra $2k? It looks like you get about $5k extra for only $2k. The CFm will Definitely be on the radar when I trade up the Wonky Donkey.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

It looks decent, certainly for the price.

[@RealHooksy]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV I’m looking forward to your appraisal of the Kove Rally 450. Bring it on.

[@gavinrosenzweig2552]

Hi appreciate all the great info on your bike reviews I'm very interested in this explore model got a vstrom 650xt 2020 considering 800DE but with all the value this bike I'm tempted. One question do you think it would comfortability make it to Arkaroola ive done most of flinders on vstrom just not the Samuel track or skytrek i want a bike that can do a bit more. This may be a more top heavy and struggle with slow stuff. I also watched your reviews on suzuki and transalp out of all three which would do the mt Samuel track in Flinders or skytrek if you're familiar with these tracks thanks

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

It's very dependant on your skill for those tracks.

[@gavinrosenzweig2552]

Yes thanks ridden xr400 for 8 years off road on loads of tracks around Alice Springs I'm ok off road. But obviously any biker bike a different story off road. I'm 118kg 6ft so are you guys doing an in-depth review on the explore model. As Clubby say is it able to get to Arkaroola what's your say thanks. Plan to test 800DE and transalp

[@pigeonpallz1733]

How hard is it to clean or change the air filter ? Thanks guys

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

No idea.

[@daveb2317]

Awesome review on the bike what I would like to know more about parts and the availability of parts in Australia being a Chinese bike

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

There are lots of bikes made in China now. It would surprise you.

[@KingHill2015]

One thing I want to know is the service intervals?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Sorry look it up

[@TwistTheThrottle2024]

15000kms the book says

[@xpllmmff]

Seems CFMOTO really pose an aggressive price strategy, trying to grab a large piece of the pie of lucrative adv bike market. The only concern for this product might be of its assembly quality control. KTM (as well as most Europe bikes) has already gained no upper hand in the reliability competition with Japan brands. A "Chinese-made" KTM might further amplify such concern and need a long time to establish its reputation as a solid product. A three-year unlimited Kms warranty like Royal Enfield promised to its Himalayan and interceptor may be a good initiative to lay such consideration into rest.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

That's putting your money where you mouth is.

[@wonkywheels103]

Just bought a new 2022 ktm 890 Adventure R and with this found loose bolts and the motor running on one cylinder. The most unreliable part for this bike will be the ktm motor and the cam issue, unless this has been sorted. For adventure being dirt roads and back roads this bike is a bargin. I'm waiting for someone to import the Kove 450 Rally which has, todate been getting very good reviews.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Yes the Kove is getting a lot of attention

[@kittsonic1]

Beautiful bike...it's by far better looking than the V-Strom 800de...

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Ah.........

[@phil6347]

Just one thing 😮 you blokes were so excited you forgot to tell us all about the suspension, is it touch screen, how much adjustment is there, etc,etc or none?? 😉 I'll go get one just to do a lap of Aussie, Thanks for the great review always a fan hope to get to ride with you blokes one day!! You just keep avoiding me 😂

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

From Clubby's enthusiasm a good bike.

[@michaelgleeson1198]

Looks like awesome bang for your buck

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Surprising.

[@9W8o7l7f4]

Service and dealer locations should be stretched along the coast first.

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Good point but that's not going to happen :)

[@viralsheddingzombie5324]

I've read that KTM motors are (or were) designed by Rotax. Is this true?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

I don't know

[@ernieschatz3783]

No cruise control?

[@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV]

Yes it has cruise

[@ernieschatz3783]

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Oh, awesome! I couldn't find it amongst all those switches.

In the 🇺🇸 it’s about $14k fully loaded 😮
