2023 CFMOTO 800 NK Review | The Best Value-For-Money Naked Bike?

[@SolarEclips86]

Just picked one up this week wow what a amazing motorcycle.

[@nexii1479]

Hey have you encountered any issues, what are the things you like and disklike about the bike? Any problems with clunky shifting?

[@SigmaJAD]

Great review. I had a 790 Duke. I had a CFMoto 700 CLX Sport too. Both commuter second bikes. The CF? Hell way better quality than that 790. This is a manufacturer that is going to gain respect. The rest of the world - watch out

[@oversteer_9339]

Oh for real? Interesting. I really love the 790. If this is better, thats great news coz ktm maintenance and parts aint cheap right 😂

[@AdeptusAmogus]

@@oversteer_9339 the 800NK uses the exact same engine as the 790, just tuned with less top end to retain reliability. Almost all CFMoto bikes have less power than their in class competition because they tune them to be more reliable, rather than go the raw power route. Its why KTM had so many issues for years.

[@zergothikaify]

Same. Was looking at a used 790 but had qualms on leaking gasket issues and all.

[@SigmaJAD]

@zergothikaify Hi, nothing leaked, but the bike felt cheaply made and (I know there's plastic on all bikes) plasticy. Stickers were coming off too, again cheap. Plus they do lots of end of year discounts. I fell foul when I traded in for better quality. Bit of rust inside filler cap too.

[@T3-RIDER]

Ktm 790 duke is built in the same factory as the 800nk 😂

[@davidg2116]

This will be a great bike. In Europe the biggest problems for sales will be buyers worrying about depreciation, getting spare parts and then theres the new honda hornet which is very similar but that honda badge will mean a great dealer network and reliability. The display looks insane, so much so that id worry about something thinking its an ipad and trying to steal it when im not with the bike.

[@CclSpade]

+1 I simply need a Base plate for a bag and that's an option on Honda but not available on CF moto

[@davidg2116]

@@CclSpade yeah aftermarket parts for the hornet will be everywhere but will be limited for CF moto

[@NWTMasterWolf]

They need to build an SS/SR on this size engine for us bigger dudes.

[@1sttimegunowner]

Yea. But the SS is uncomfortable man i gotta get some better rearsets. But the SS is a hwy deamon loved it and the breaks are way better

[@robertgagne9355]

When it come to CF Moto, they are certainly building a name for themselves. I feel that Chinese motorcycles from both CF Moto and QJ Motors, have a very unique opportunity, that bikes from Japan and Europe don't have. The dealer networks are not very widespread, but that can be to their advantage. If CF Moto shipped their bikes direct to buyers and then provided outlets for parts, along with comprehensive, service manuals along with "how to" videos, then setting up dealerships would not be needed and they could keep the cost down. They could offer showrooms in strip malls or in small store fronts in city centers. There are many riders that I know that can and enjoy doing their own wrenching, and most of the manufactures want you to go to their dealers only. This would certainly bring experienced riders and independent mechanics into the fold.

[@JTManuel]

This looks like what RoboCop (reboot) would use.

[@1sttimegunowner]

I just road this in america. Hated the big tablet looking dash i think it will prevent getting a windscreen. There is another version that has a traditional tft i prefered that one. This bike is a monster around town it wanted to eat and be unleased!!! Thid thing was awesome

[@cwill7103]

You actually rode this in the US? I have been trying to determine if there is actually going to be a US release for this model with the 8 inch screen

[@1sttimegunowner]

@@cwill7103 yea we had a demo day a few weeks ago. Felt really good

[@ferdiejacinto867]

Try the Suzuki 8S, or the Honda Hornet 800. Those are smack on with that 800NK.

[@goukenph7]

Great bike but, it's a missed opportunity for cfmoto to not add that traction control. Still a great bike though

[@9LB.hammer]

I own one. I was a bit skeptical at first but I think the longer wheelbase makes up for its lack of traction control. It's incredibly stable and the cornering abs works like a charm. I still wonder tho since they were able to put TC on the 450sr/nk.

[@graw1953]

Traction control, panniers and I’d trade the Duke in for it

[@zergothikaify]

Why need TC when you go hoolie with it?

[@imjustahuman6992]

​@@9LB.hammerhow's the reliability on it so far? Thinking bout getting this or the gsx8

[@9LB.hammer]

@@imjustahuman6992 imo, can't go wrong with both. Tested all the middleweight nakeds available where I live and ended up with the 800nk due to; 1. More power out of the box(the 8s felt like it need a remap specially at the higher revs) 2. Price, Gsx8s is $2k+ higher 2. For me it looks better(I like the side angle of the 8s more tho) 3. Suzuki dealership is farther than CFmoto in my area 4. Although others are skeptical about the tablet on the advanced version, it was a huge + for me because I don't have to buy quad lock since screen mirroring/carplay is possible, together with the voice command, I could literally call, change music, show riding stats in a single push of a button while riding. As for reliability, I've only ridden it for 4.6k kms, only use it on the weekends or whenever I have time for riding which isn't a lot, whenever I do tho, I ride it very very hard specially on open freeways, had times where I'm upshifting on a speed run and went straight to neutral which cause the engine to rev so high. I'm confident on riding it hard and really want to show issues as early as now since it's still under warranty. Longest I did without stopping was around 150kms(needed to stop to refuel) red lining it every gear no problem. I had it decatted without a remap (did a research that the ECU will adjust the AFR and remap isn't needed as long as I don't change the air filter to hi-flow) No check engines, no performance drop, and no issues so far. If you ask me to nitpick, the engine runs hotter than my previous bikes or maybe I'm just paranoid because the gauge isn't in bars but in actual celsius. Hope this helps.

[@geertceuppens8518]

Same Discussion in the 70's Japan vs European bike who won?

[@youtubeisasshoe8153]

Im getting one in a month 🔥

[@badmondaywang]

The look is 100

[@JohnnieV]

Do the Philippino dealers add on all kinds of fees like they do in the states? This bike is 572.500 pesos in USA after fees.

[@offroadnomad925]

Waiting for the 450 MT. Hoping they will bring that here in PH.

[@carlostellomendez7686]

Hey brother, you are doing amazing videos , can you please do a compare video between the Cf moto 800NK vs CF moto 700CLX sport please

[@ethanavielsemeraaraos270]

You look good together, maybe it's that saddle locking the rider in? Riding position looks great really.

[@darbenferrer1555]

The gauge cluster must be waterproof, is must be, especially during rainy season.

[@Diabeekei]

Is this releasing in the US? Just checked their website and it doesn’t have the techs you presented here. It’d be amazing though.

[@SolarEclips86]

It's here I just picked one up this week wow I love it

[@eraserone1]

such great looking bikes coming out of that CFMOTO factory

[@adamprsut2333]

how does it handle comapred to the duke 790

[@adamprsut2333]

Do they have same frame?

[@9LB.hammer]

​@@adamprsut2333yep. Same frame, same engine, different suspension(kyb on cfmoto, wp on ktm), different subframe, better brakes on cfmoto

[@zergothikaify]

Test rode both of them and 790 is definitely faster and sharper to carve corners. Best to test rode both of them and judge your riding style.

[@zakhey]

Would love to see a comparison to Honda's latest CB750

[@9LB.hammer]

I don't think the 750 hornet is sold here in PH. The adv version of the hornet isn't doing well sales wise too.

[@zakhey]

@@9LB.hammer ouh that's a pity.. I'm currently looking at these 2 for when I get my full license

[@ethanavielsemeraaraos270]

Well if you're hot for bigger displacements yes, 488k is a pretty good deal. But why get this over the cb500f, or then cb650r even.

[@karaagacalican]

That screen looks good but its gonna get damaged very easy, either by nature or bad people :(

[@xcoolbc7639]

it is crossplane crank shaf firing ?

[@9LB.hammer]

285° to mimic superduke's 75° vtwin

[@Klootviooltje]

How tall are you?

[@MangakaMSMichi]

Absolutely hate that "tablet" dash, just that it's a deal breaker for me. I think there is a version with more traditional tft dash, would love to see it

[@jamakasis18]

...And then attach a tablet phone right next to that tft dash

[@markallenarcano9439]

Present Sir 🙋

[@garyk8285]

Good bike for the price. Probably is better than SV650 and XSR700, but maybe a slightly used XSR900 at a similar price is better. Would like to see a neo-retro version of this bike, although this bike isn't ugly, just a bit modern for my tastes.

[@thermalblast3605]

¿800NK or F900R?

[@oversteer_9339]

I have great respect for this brand because they are genuinely great. Id have even more respect if they collab with yamaha. Thats no joke. The yamaha name itself will boost its sales

[@NWCPcbenchmarks]

How come this one has such a big screen compared to the other reviews i have seen?

[@mabdurrahman6983]

The old model comes with this vertical screen,the newer one comes with the horizontal One Horizontal one is really better

[@CclSpade]

"if you wear gloves" well...that's why the 5" tft is better imo

[@deus2645]

With that price I can get z900, Trident 660 and Cb650 in low odo 2nd hand market

[@darwinesternon6624]

KISKA pa ba ang ang nag design nyan.....?

[@benz201forever]

13:00 you pull up to a tambike with a Cafe400 and you'll be greeted with "angas ng bike" 🤣

[@dd4053]

CFMOTO CLX 700 Heritage has a comfortable high and close to driver located Handlebar, but there is only a SINGLE brake disk on a front wheel, CLX 700 SPORT has a DOUBLE brake disks and BREMBO brakes on them, but there is NO HANDLEBAR, some kind of clip-ons located FAR AWAY and TOO LOW from a driver. 800 Nk has a double disks, very comfortable Handlebar, big and nice dash, but there is NO a traction control. Are they kidding me or what?

[@xxneggalee2785]

looks good, but the tft display is just not it

[@pthrelkeld090]

Looks a LOT like my Honda nc700x... like suuuuper similar

[@maglordon]

If the bike is reliable and easy to get spare parts only, then it will be the Japanese market and European market.

[@dantejurado9687]

Everybody Say how cool these bikes are, nobody talk about how theyre gonna be in long term, n i'm really have My doubts

I have 9000 miles on my 2022 700 clx. It's been flawless.

with free tablet wow ! :)

[@DBomber_24]

Reason why the likes of KTM and Yamaha are partnering with CFMOTO is to sell more bikes in China. Nothing special with their partnership.

[@frankdesanta6216]

The Chinese economy is currently bad right now tho

[@mitv6772]

Can you elaborate more? They already have a presence in China, they just switch their Chinese partner.

[@tyrant1178]

Your whole statement is asinine. These companies already have footholds in China. Your comment is made up from nothing and based on nothing.

​@@frankdesanta6216how is us economy with 32 trillion plus debt 😂

[@frankdesanta6216]

@@cwdjdsd-36321cs the vast majority of the world still depends on the US Dollars. The US will be fine. Not so with China as it's currently seeing a massive pull-out of major Western businesses to other countries, coupled with the facts that its population is shrinking, plus its economy is greatly dependent upon real estate which is in a bubble right now.

Better than the Suzuki 8s.

I was so looking forward to the release of this bike. But then they placed that eyesore of a tablet as a dash.

It's not that bad unless you are installing a bigger screen to counter the wind.
