[@rafial1000]

@@hellraiserrec19 yeah 👍 Like Ducati Came With Desertx

[@adam346]

nooo!!! This style of headlight leads to more accidents thanks to drivers thinking you are a car but very far away... best set-up for safety (and more fun if you ask me) is an over-under style... though I do like this style... i prefer to not have to worry even more about people because of it.

[@Thatguychris86]

They need to make a full sized version of this BIG TIME

Way cooler than a Grom IMO

By farrrrrrr! I had a z125 and a grom. Sold them both and got a super cub. Now I wanna find an ss to compliment the cub for my zipping round town

[@ME262MKI]

Those headlights give it a comical look ⭕ ❌ i like it

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: Legit the Papio in any variant and the Grom give such fun hooligan vibes. It's just mission impossible to not wheelie everywhere and have a permanent shit grin on your face. It's completely ridiculously hilarious to have so much fun on something so smol. I'm 6'3" roughly 200lbs with full gear on and I get tons of WTF looks on my Grom and I couldn't care less. Just swing a leg over either Grom or Papio and your guaranteed to have ALL the shit and giggles. I mean if you can ride either one and get off em and not have a smile on your face and not having the best time ever, then I'll buy you a beer and call you a liar. I mean spend as long as you can in a open parking lot doing All of the wheelies before a cop shows up and tells you to leave, with that you'll still be having the time of your life and probably will get a huge grin from the cop when she/he tells you to go have fun somewhere else.

[@joshgts9675]

I care too much about what people think of me to ride something like that. Would be cool to put some knobby tires on one and take them on trails.

[@Thesaviorsway]

​@@joshgts9675you should not let other people affect your happyness or joy.

[@scottporter0069]

Every video. Always to the end. Always a frickin blast! 20 to 40 sounds fair enough. The exhaust position is dope. (Keep on chase'in on)

[@shiny_sideup]

For minimotos, I would do a 10 to 50mph pull, or 15 to 50mph pull. These little bikes are super cool and the variations cf moto is offering is game changing. That and the design is almost a pre modded, updated design. Like this little papio ss, I don't think I would change a thing on it. It looks fantastic and bet would be amazing on a kart track 😊

[@D.C89]

I was gonna say 25/30 to 55. That way you can go from neighborhood speeds to main road speeds

[@shiny_sideup]

@D.C89 yeah something like that would be perfect 😀

[@landonfolken03]

These things are so damn cool. Ive had Ruckuses, Groms, Z125s, and currently a Monkey. I love minis and this one looks so dang cool.

[@setsuna.ch401]

For those people who wanna get this: Get a new chain. For some weird reason there's a massive chain slack even before the first service period (500km) after a couple of use. Low RPM responsiveness also improves.

[@Ortisan_Official]

Had this problem with my Grom as well, every use just slacked like crazy I thought I was doing something wrong. Nope just shit chain lol

[@farizi1302]

I own this bike and that ABS saved me countless times from disasters so it is indeed helpful for new riders like me just like you said

[@getrightwithchrist77]

How does it feel on the wrist since it's the bent handlebars ⁉️

[@eiz728]

hye...i got my papio ss / papio xo1 in my area. Im not amateur bikers...i own this papio mainly to commute in city area having fun. Truely indeed, ABS does save me few times as nowadays...there so much newbie driver without knowledge out there. So many time i have been save by these ABS. On other hand, the wrist feel the pressure..but if u mind...u can control your body to be straight not bend fown over towards handle bar..if u do so..wrist is fine.

[@donderstorm1845]

the retro version is definitely my favorite. wish they made more bikes like that. like the 450NK but with a retro look.

[@kidlo2050]

Cfmoto bikes are better than people expect but alot of people complains about the customer service and getting parts. Even aftermarket parts are hard to find for like 450ss unless its cosmetics.

[@chrispekel5709]

I've never had a single problem here in Australia. I ordered all parts straight from China. It's annoying but you have to do the same for Euro bikes

[@SummitCoyote]

ive never had issues finding parts for the 300nk. but ive not done much aftermarket except a tiny luggage rack on the back.

[@domenik8339]

And with a KTM/CFMoto engine, you know you'll be needing parts often. There are other Chinabikes that are more reliable for sure.

[@SummitCoyote]

@@domenik8339 the KTM engine they use is downtuned a bit so it should actually be pretty decent. chaseontwowheels did an iron butt on the ibex800T the 650 is a kawi copy the 700 is just a bored out version of the 650 and the 300 i believe is a licensed Suzuki engine. Also KTM has better reliability now than they used to. the 450 i think is their own.

[@bradsmede]

Funny but true that you mention ABS is pretty unnecessary on the Papio, but would you believe that ALL (except enduro) motos in Australia require front AND rear ABS... so the Honda Grom is no longer available in Australia, but the Papio is.

[@chrispekel5709]

hahah really? Crazy. I'm Aus too

[@Kevin-lb6pn]

Absolutely love the look of this mini bike, however I don't know how fun it would be for someone like me who is over 6 feet tall 😂❤

[@christianburger25]

This bike looks so cool! I want CF Moto to make a full size version

[@SummitCoyote]

if they took this design language and applied it to the 450 platform or something based on that 800 platform. heeeck yeees.

[@pantsshitter533]

more companies gotta understand, everyone’s so fucking tired of the same bullshit curvy designs that look like metallic soap bars in an attempt to make it look “futuristic” or smth, everyone wants more of that 80’s cyberpunk-esque styling for the actual future we are steamrolling towards to

[@petekaiser]

this papio and SS model usually are sold in asian countries where predominantly populated by bikes that's 100cc and above but not more than 400cc, which also revolves around automatic scooters as well. so market wise this fits in specially that the SS has 6 gear trans and has ABS which is good for a bike of it size

[@chrispekel5709]

Even in those countries it's sort of considered a bit of a fun bike

[@petekaiser]

@@chrispekel5709 agreed. Combination of fun and practical bike

[@chrispekel5709]

@@petekaiser Generally young kids ride them, nobody uses something like a Grom in asia to carry all their kids, groceries, use on the farm etc. They're poser bikes for guys in their 20's.

[@Danziman78]

My kids are now old enough to road ride with me . I'm looking at 3 of these for the fun factor

[@domenik8339]

Kinda a terrible starter bike though, don't you think? Almost everyone reccomends an upright riding position for beginners. Grab an old dirt bike and start them that way maybe, cause first bikes are always dropped eventually.

The first time I saw it on the web, it looked like one of the older 1990 super bikes but a 125cc displacement, its nice tho

[@Smallbore2wheels]

OC: IM SO MAD I MISSED THE PREMIERE! 1. I also thought the shift light was a cool addition. 2. All the smiles, I want the one I test rode so bad. 3. 6 speeds was so fun to ride with 4.i thought the gas tank was gonna hit my knees but I was glad to see that when at 6'1" my knees had room 5. Body position was surprisingly comfortable for me too even with clip ons 6. I ran out of room on my top speed😅 7. Flickability was great 8. Shifting was very smooth, and dare I say easier to find neutral than in a Grom? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 9. I love the dash. It has all and then some more info than the Grom. And looks so much cooler 10. The CFMOTO aftermarket for this bike is awesome. I can't wait to see the what third party sellers do. 11.agreed on this design being the coolest in the mini bike scene.

[@chaseontwowheels]

No worries I wasn’t able to premiere this one!

[@inferninx]

If they made a 450cc version of this, as in slapping this styling and fairings on their 450SR, it would sell like hotcakes.

[@MegaDRKSTR]

abs is a legal requirement

[@adam346]

The Grom has ABS on the front wheel only last I checked... makes it slightly more comical when you are backing it into a parking lot and are effectively twice the size of the damn thing.

[@adam346]

Oh, I love my little Cb300R.. neo-retro styling with 30hp and a stupidly light (for being a full-sized bike) weight make it so fun to just chuck it around... there have been instances where I am messing around in a parking lot and lose it but because its so light, I can literally catch it and wrench it back up. I know you cannot do that for larger bikes but this thing is just hilariously light compared to anything but the mini-Motos.

[@AhmadKhan-il7ev]

While in Malaysia, we call CFmoto Papio XO-1

Monkey

[@domenik8339]

That depends on the integrity of your dealer. After I bought my navi, as I was walking out the door I was reminded to bring it back for it's break in maintenance, and that it would 'only' cost $320. For about half an hour of work and an oil change. 🙄

[@joule7256]

I used to have a Grom and I loved that thing. But I think I'd pick this over it any day just based off it's style alone.

[@phill8712]

I wish they made this in a 300cc . Reminds me of a Star wars droid

[@yohaan9]

CF Moto is KILLING it and really hitting the strings of bike enthusiasts in all directions. I really wish they bring more of their bikes in India but then the politics just kills the vibe :(. CF Moto, if you see this. I know y'all are with KTM and KTM is with Bajaj so Collab already.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

I gotta disagree there, 125cc bikes are very popular in Europe amongst the 16 year olds. And they will very much care if their bike makes 0.1hp more than the other's bikes. And in Asia 125-150cc bikes are also very common. The best hp/money ratio is always a factor.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

Apropos what pulls small bikes should do, 70-100kmh is always intereting on those. 43-60mph. And could you do a build on one of these? Get the headers wrapped in some gold wrapping, smaller tail tidy and signals. Make it a smol clean retro bike.

[@MiguelBorgesphotography]

If they sold this in Southeast Asia, it's gonna be everywhere.

So I might be your target audience for this one as I am waiting for the delivery of my here in Indonesia. Nice vid but I had to wait almost 20 min to get the "real" review of how the bike feels, controls, suspension, brakes....... I understand it's a fun/toy bike, still it would have been a better vid at least for me if you started that portion sooner. My should be here next week, now I am even more excited. All this fun for $2400 here, and flush, body mounted front turn signals. They make a solo seat cover for this thing as well. Need to make a tidy tail myself for sure. Waiting for your 450 MT review in the future, CFmoto is really on the roll. Thx

[@WillPower46]

CFMoto are more interesting than many Japanese makers nowadays.

[@FutureKLX300SMowner]

I just wish they could've squeezed a little more power out of that 125, if they can get it closer to 14ish horsepower for the '25 model year it'll be a no brainer for me.

[@stripprclipR1]

0-30 or 20-45 should set decent benchmarks on a mini. They are legitimately competing against the electric bikes out there.

[@EduanSteenkamp]

I have the CFmoto 1250, but I have to say I miss having a small bike. Especially in Beijing...Great for the mountains and highway but something small for the city is perfect.

[@turkerboss4981]

we need a bigger version(400-450cc)

[@nurzrachit7133]

Man, I'm going to have to fight myself not to go and purchase one of these 😂😂. CF moto seems to have really built up a decent following and reputation for what they do. Even the 450 is a straight up challenge to the ninja 400. Is that why it's now a Ninja 500???😂😂😂😂. Thankfully I already have a small displacement motorcycle in the Lifan kpm 200, but it's basically a full size frame. Jesus Christ man, this is so Cool!!!

[@pdx650]

Chaseontwowheels, This Papio SS looks so cool. I've never ridden a small bike like this. I would buy one of these for city usage even though I have a '98 Honda VFR800 and Honda ST1300. If there was a full size version of these, I think they would sell quite well. Love the twin headlight set up and fairing/cowling. It's perfect. OC!!

[@russetwolf13]

As someone who's owned a little TC90 for town riding it's really a good idea. There's so many little advantages to a bike you can slip into odd places, or pick the back end up to flip it around. Plus cops don't look at you, a little bike is zero priority for them.
