I bought the NK back in February and I absolutely love that bike. Your first ride really sold me on this bike. Did a fender delete, added bar end mirrors and a windscreen. This bike is a joy to ride. Thanks Chase

[@RobbieFlores]

Which windscreen did you install?

[@Soulbreeze]

Bought a 450 NK 3 weeks ago. The seat is the same. Ordered that and the tank ring/bag the day I bought it. The tall seat also relieves some of the nut squish I was getting with the original one.

[@pookiewookie7679]

How tall are you? Inseam?

OC:Now you need to get CFMoto to drop off an 800NK for you to review, maybe even give away, I 100% would buy stuff to have a chance at winning that.

[@chaseontwowheels]

800nk is currently in the garage!

​@@CraigNortheast I feel your pain! At 6.4 most of the beginner bikes look small on me lol.

[@BelgiumGOAT]

I was thinking about selling my CFMoto 450SR 2023 buttt after riding it again I'm not. It's such a good bike i love CFMoto!

[@ultimomos5918]

Bought the 300 variant of this because of your reviews (and my budget!) and i love it. I definitely wish it had a bit more pep but im having no issues aside from some wind jostle commuting it at highway speeds. I would say the NKs are the better option for those looking to bop around city streets whereas the ss is probably a bit better on highway. Ill probably upgrade to the 650 or 800 in another year or so but yea, these CF Motos are fantastic. Only gripe is aftermarket support but thats getting better as they grow! Great review!

[@lepricated]

Ive been enjoying my 2024 800nk.

[@grimmako4879]

Can’t wait to get my first bike!!

[@patrickagan1071]

A 450 is all you need, it will do everything very well and sounds great 👍! My clx 700 H is almost too fast for in town riding because you are breaking the law in 2nd and 3rd gear very quickly which is a hoot...

[@danielleon8901]

I can't decide between those two! Which would you recommend getting?

[@AlterationProduction]

@@danielleon8901same here

[@bmwmsport11]

I was just comparing this to a Z500 and 800NK yesterday ended up buying the Z. The NK is a better looking and sounding bike but I was worried about long term parts support after seeing Benelli pulling out of the US market. Maybe next time.

[@ultimomos5918]

@@bmwmsport11 parts support is slightly annoying but they are becoming more prevalent as the bikes gain traction in the US. If you're looking for crazy after market support it probably won't be amazing for another year or two. That said..the bikes are awesome stock and don't honestly need much 😋

[@krishall4518]

This is just my guess, but they likely changed the gearing and/or sprocket setup to give it that extra low end grunt at the cost of top speed. Currently have a 24 450SS and can’t wait to try out the NK

[@anthonycoffey6565]

I have a buddy who wants to buy a Grom, I'm trying to persuade him to get the Papio SS, that way I get to ride it 😅

[@elitecorsair]

I’m surprised you haven’t reviewed a cfmoto 800nk yet. Definitely waiting to see that one

[@culturdcustom]

man ive said it once, these naked bikes are getting to me. I like em

[@ItsMotoDave]

I love my 450NK, it's so much fun. But, I will probably upgrade next year.

[@AzogDefilerFromMordor]

1:20 What I've noticed in several videos is that the seat has a fold in its cushioning. It looks like the cover is stretchy and gets pushed to the front by the rider's butt, causing it to fold. This fold is even visible in your video.

[@kennypistol]

i recently bought a 450ss. i actually went in for a 650nk but i didn't like how it sounded as much as the 450 platform. i then wanted a 450nk but the 300nk looked better somehow. but it didn't sound as good as the 450's. eventually i ended up with the 450ss because it looks like a normal sportbike to me (except for the skinny tires) but the 450nk doesn't look like a normal naked bike. something is off with its proportions. it looks off somehow to me. almost like there's too much of a gap between the front wheel/tire and the body of the bike or something. i can't explain it but if you put it next to any other bigger naked bike, it looks off somehow. the 450ss blends in well with bigger bikes. it's smaller, for sure. but not so significantly that it sticks out. the 450nk proportions make it stick out next to bigger naked bikes though. just my two cents.

[@MotoTrauma]

Yes exactly like an MO-07 that is slighty smaller feeling on it, very smooth and fun motorcycle, I can confirm. I prefer the NK to the SS because the NK it is away more fun and multipurpose than the SS (SR). I owned it for 1 year and it become the motorcycle of my soul. cool review ✌✌

[@SWTVENOM]

Has it been reliable?

[@MotoTrauma]

@@SWTVENOM yes, I had the 300NK as my first CFMOTO motorcycle, 450NK as my second, and now I am on my third CFMOTO 800NK Advanced ✌️💪

[@SWTVENOM]

@@MotoTrauma was the nk450 a good bike? I’m looking for my first bike

[@MotoTrauma]

@@SWTVENOM best first bike ever, I wouldn't recommend as first bike anything but the 450NK 💪✌️It is so forgiving and smooth, so much control it teaches you, best beginner friendly bike ever✌️👌

[@SWTVENOM]

@@MotoTrauma thanks, I was looking at the Mt07 , GSX8s, and then came across this bike.

[@TheHeck69]

i have the 300nk and goodness me its more than enough for my current needs. tho the clutch is being difficult sometimes. in a year or so tho ill prob move up to a honda cb500X or F

[@thisguy5833]

How is the reliability with CFMOTO? I'm looking for my second bike and I'm eyeing the 800NK

[@elitecorsair]

Should have put a bonus postscript of you trying to see if the 450ss seat fits this bike

[@viperq]

I can't think of a new 450 naked bike that's better.

[@cliveomahoney4096]

OC. Thanks for the vid! Does the Daytona have a more aggressive bar angle than the 8R? Which is best for long trips?

[@ztanford]

What is the best one right now? Z500, duke 390 or nk450

[@jasper258]

CB500?

[@juliusjacob1416]

The Kawa 500 engine truly is a peach. Also makes the most HP. Don’t get the CB500. It’s almost 20kg heavier than the Kawa

[@2WheelsGood.01]

They're all good. Just get whatever you prefer.

[@Ray4rmDade305]

I’m leaning towards the NK with 1hp less and $900 less than the Z even tho I personally think the Z looks better Would love to see an actual head to head between the two

[@richardwarsinske7064]

@@Ray4rmDade305 450 NK's are advertised for a little less than $4000 at my local dealers compared to retail on the Z500 and 390 Duke. NK sounds tons better than the other two also which probably adds more to the ride experience than a few bike lengths difference in acceleration!

[@Hypn0tr011]

Picked up my 450NK (1st bike) over the weekend. Definitely had some brown stage moments but I love the bike. Still searching for the Goldie Locks zone of the throttle slack though.

[@yingyangorca4124]

Whats brown stage moments?

[@cport955]

I’d say the difference between the NK and the SS would be with the camshaft and the gearing.

[@tjey379]

I like how it looks like the Bajaj 200Nk.

[@cirkulace]

What is the long term fuel consumption on this bike? I consider this model as a great city commuter, so fuel consumption is important for me.

[@100medusa]

Hey Chase! I have a Yamaha FZ8. I would love to see if you could get your hands on one and do a first ride review! I am curious to know what you think of the bike! If you see this, great! Have a good day!

[@Murad.bn2]

Looking for GIVI to make a rear box rack for this bike (they have for 300NK, 650MT/700MT).

[@xani666]

Maybe they just geared NK shorter ? It doesn't need as much max speed as SS so it would make sense.

[@shikamaru281]

this is good bike compare to z400 of kawasaki ?

[@EVOL6667]

Cf moto 450 nk or kawasaki z500?

[@Smallbore2wheels]

OC: who needs power modes when you have hiccup power?

[@tjey379]

Sure the SS looks harper but I prefer thia one it looks lighter.

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: Definitely a great pro it being a baby MT07. If riding around giggling like a school girl doing all the wheelies is fun to you then the 450NK will most certainly be a option for you as a rider. That said between the 450SS and 450NK I'd pick the 450SS. Because their nearly identical performance stat wise, with the 450NK being a lil more torquey feeling that leads to that bottom end wheelie machine. While the 450SS seems a lil more linear in the way it scales it's power through the rev range compared to it's brother. I'd chalk that up to being a more sporty technical riding bike over the 450NK. But really I'd choose the 450SS on the looks alone, because throughout my riding career I've always gravitated to looks with performance in my bikes and the look back thing once you get off your bike is seriously a thing with me. Though I don't own a 450SS, I think it would get me looking back at it more than the 450NK. Honestly I think it's one reason I always find my way back to the R6 no matter which bike I'd currently have. I'd end up selling or trading it in to get another R6. Or maybe I'm just a huge Yamaha R6 simp that can't go thru life without it. 🤷‍♂️

can somebody confirm if parts for 450ss fit the the 450NK?

[@WhiteChocolateTricks]

Yeesh. CF really trying hard to be taken seriously by throwing $$ to influencers. Conveniently tons of moto channels ALL start talking about their bikes at the same time. Won't end up working out for them in the long run. As someone in the actual 1st market for the bikes, they're not beating out their local competitors, much less imported bikes.

[@Steeps1969]

🤣 Good God, if you've passed your test and this bike is intimidating for more than say 12 miles. Then you need to buy a golf buggy. 🤣
