[@graemeauhl3610]

I live in Melbourne, Australia. I bought a Benelli TRK 502X new 18 months ago. I’ve done 117,000 km on this bike with little trouble. Yes, it’s heavy…but when you get caught in a crosswind, or buffeting caused by road trains you’re going to appreciate the stability of the bike. I do a yearly trip to far North Queensland, over 10,000km in 12 days, and the bike is awesome to ride. I get mine serviced every month at the dealership I bought it from and they just laugh when the check the km. It doesn’t have the “grin factor” that my Tiger Sport 660 has, but I can’t do 1000km + days on the Triumph either. Seat is really comfortable and butt only starts getting numb around 800km mark. Great bike for the money.

The CFMoto 300 NK is one of the few good quality bikes that get to Latin America for accessible prices. Most Japanese brands don't bother comercializing models with ABS, full LED lights, and good displays on the lower end, except in a few countries. Definitely what i'm aiming towards when i can afford it.

Nice, same for me, where are you from?, does cfmoto have good reputation in your country?, here in Costa Rica is somewhat marginal, but slowly getting acepted has good quality

[@alanpereyra5503]

@@jorgerivera6307 soy de Argentina. La marca esta aqui desde hace algunos años ya. Tiene buena reputacion entre los foros de mecanicos por su uso de buenos materiales, y muchos de sus repuestos son compartidos con motos KTM y con Honda, como los filtros de aire que son los mismos de la CB250 Twister. Lo unico que si me da cosita es que no tengo concesionarios cercanos para hacer valer la garantia, y que es dificil encontrar mecanicos que le entren a la parte electrónica de la moto, la cual tiene de sobra. Otros bloggers de paises como Chile, Colombia y demas hablan de experiencias similares. Algunos la tienen por muchos kilometros y el motor no se deprecia como usualmente se asocia con motos chinas. Otra marca muy bien tratada de entre las chinas es Voge, que viene de la mano de Loncin, aunque las Cfmoto son mas bonitas y mejor hechas en mi opinion.

Benelli is overall a great manufacture. Here in Europe they're pretty popular, especially the Trk 502 and Bn 125. Also please take a look at the 302s and 752s. They're absolutely fenomenal bikes, in some ways better than their non-chinese counterparts.

Benelli and QJ are both owned by Geely Holding Group. Geely also owns Volvo. I own a Geely car that was designed and engineered by Volvo engineers. The quality is just fantastic. There are some companies that are aware that Chinese products have a bad rap for being low quality. So they are making huge strides in quality by hiring engineers from reputable companies to improve their products. CFMoto has partnered with Japanese companies to make sure their products are of higher quality.

[@jw8767]

As a chinese here, here are my personal recommended models if you wanna try chinese brands: CF moto: 450 SR (sports), 800MT (ADV/Touring), NK450/CLX700 (Street) Beneli: TRK 502 (ADV/Touring), 752 (cruise) Kove: 450 RR (Sports), 800X (ADV/offroad) Not recommending QJ moto bikes as they are bad for quality in general. I would vote for Kove with extra credit as the brand is really investing heavily on innovation and manufacturing their own stuff, the new 450RR parts/engine is really fantastic

I am really happy for this video. Not all Chinese bikes are equal. Especially if they are build for a European brand that is responsible for the quality check as well. BMW, KTM, etc. I own a Benelli TRK 502X and I love it. A bit on the heavy side but it is also very stable. Has a great road presence that makes it safe. Car drivers actually see you. Also the dealership in Cyprus is amazing. I totally recommend it. I am not a new rider. I am 52 and I have a background of a lot of sport bikes (NSR 250R, ZXR400SP, ZZR600...) so I believe that my opinion has some value.

As an Italian I can confirm this. Benelli has become a "known" and commonly sold motorcycle. With now a lot dealers all over and they seem pretty reliable (not japan level...but good enough ) and good looking. I think in part the name/brand played an important part, in the sense that even if a Chinese producer did make good motorcycles, that wouldn't be enough without the italian name/brand behind it. If I were to say I have a Benelli in Italy it's like "ok", however if I were to say I have a "ching chung chang" (any chinese name) the reaction would be negative and "what is that?" regardless of how good the motorcyle actually is. So it has to do with both the quality, but believe it or not, even just the name/brand behind it.

Living in China - the main newer big 3 here: Voge, Kove (Colove), and Zontes - and the resale is weak here as well, but they are some sweet bikes. I currently have a 2019 GW250 - great machine, I’m fighting with the idea of getting something larger … just too many options in the candy store😂

I’ve got a 650nk from CFMOTO, bought it in September of 2022, currently sitting just shy of 11k miles, no issues out of it. I’m even planning on loading it down and taking it to key west (roughly 900 miles away from my house). Looking forward to seeing some market breakthrough.

I've got a 2013 one Still going very strong

[@tyrant1178]

Yeah, I'm enjoying my 650nk also. Not as punchy as I was hoping BUT!!! It's a lot faster, torquier and stable than I thought it was going to be. Definitely a great bike.

@@tyrant1178 I agree, after a few months of riding it as a daily, I understood it’s strong points were stop light to stop light, but I have a roughly 50mi round trip commute, so I’ve learned to deal with the shortcomings of it and assumedly all naked bikes

@@ianmoore1312 oh I get that. My commute is only about 15 to 20 minutes but all highway. I think a lot of the negative opinions unfortunately come from the pre break in period. Because I can definitely say my bike came right to life after about 1000 miles

Figured I'd watch this moments after getting back from a ride on my new X-Pro Lanai 150 scooter lol. Yes it came in the box 80% assembled and yes it's Chinease. But I'm 88 miles in and I'm loving it. It has also started with the first push of a button every single time I have ridden it so far including the first time. There is this weird whine at super low speeds (below 30 mph) and for the life of me I can't get the front brakes not to half drag but it's a lot of fun. Quick too for what it is. Kawasaki z400 is next on my list, got this to see if I like riding.

[@airdreams1]

What about the CF MOTO 450 SS ??? Have you had a chance to check one of them out yet? Any thoughts or input on them compared to R3 or ninja 400

Well i bought a trk502x last weekend, and it is big and heavy but surprisingly nimble, and it was cheap like $4K and low mileage, so overall great deal

[@albertosotelo9969]

I live in Mexico, I hate the usual Chinese motorcycles, so I bought an unusual chinese (Benelli) Keeway Superlight, it is not that bad for someone who works 2 jobs and makes 15,000 USD a year, Imagine me buying a Fat boy, or an Indian Scout... I'd have to live on it or under it hahahaha! You are right, some of us are gonna buy them anyway, I'll wait for when I finish paying for my mortgage to buy a Scout, in about 10 years, I am 37 next month, by then, they should cost around 5,000 USD I plan to buy a 2015-ish scout or an HD forty-eight. I am not on the uneducated percentage of Mexican population, who are poor just for the sake of being poor, we just do not make as much as we wish, sometimes they say Harleys are for Dentists and retired people... where's my Harley???!!! I am an actual dentist! hahahaha

I've been watching yaminoob vids for years on and off but haven't liked or subscribed to the channel until this video. This was probably not paid for buy OEMs but so honest in bringing up the conversation of global manufacturing. Everyone's favorite new bikes are made using these design and build techniques. Really cool exposure to some more legit Chinese brands.

Man you missed the specs on the Ibex 800T. It makes the same HP and Torque as the 790 Adventure... 94HP and 54 ft./lbs torque. CFMOTO is building the engines for the new 790 Adventure and the new 790 Duke.

[@scottporter0069]

Glad to see this clarified..

[@jeremydjey2008]

In the end, you can check the bikes available in Europe (in France?). I guess the pretty strict legislation (and the Euro5 standard) only let the ok bikes get to the shelves. You can only find Chinese brands such as CFMoto, Benelli, Moto Morini or Voge here. All seem to be decent (nonetheless, we lack the long term feedbacks).

[@Ian-bq7gp]

The suzuki v strom 650 is so proven and for me seeing them going round the clock, you know its going to be better at 3 years old secondhand than a new benelli 502.

[@yukunwang2059]

Hi, I'm a Chinese viewer viewing from China. I just got into motorcycling recently and I really enjoy the contents here. I was considering ninja 400 or ninja 650 as my first bike. But now that I watched this video maybe I should really give Chinese bike a chance since I am in China. People here really like bike from QJmotor and CFmoto. My friend just got a cruiser from QJmotor. Do you recommend trying out some Chinese bike or just go with the save option and buy from Kawasaki.

[@coryknox]

Thats really weird....KZbin is banned in China! You're gonna lose points on your social credit score by using a VPN.

[@lohchenghuat6388]

Hi, since you mentioned that you'd just gotten into motorcycling recently, I'd assume that you're still kinda new to this scene and are trying to feel things out before deciding to go deeper and fully committed to this hobby? Then I would recommend you going for Chinese bikes first since they're usually cheaper than their competitors. QJ and CF are two of the more established Chinese brands from what I'd known so I suppose their build quality and reliability is better. Also, our first bike is always going to be the "dropped on tarmac, hitting something, minor accident" learner's bike😂 so going for a cheaper first bike to be the victim of our beginners' mistakes is a much more money friendlier option

[@markymarknj]

If it were me (American here) and I were buying a Chinese motorcycle, I'd go with CFMoto. Their build quality seems to be good, and they offer a lot of value for the money; I was impressed with their 650 ADVentura, which is a competitor to the Kawasaki Versys. Besides, being a Chinese make, I imagine that they have a large dealer network within China, so parts and service will be easy for you. Good luck!

My Nov. 2008 China Scoot, was mechanically ok (did about 4,000 miles on it before giving it to my father in law), but it did have fit and finish problems/ as in the seat opening mechanism failed in the first month/ and myself and the local moto shop never figured out how to "reattach" the spring cables to "fix" it. but that aside/ it was an ok ride for a 150cc "touring size" body (had to mount the windshield, battery, rearview mirrors, and floor mats) Oh, and don't forget the REASON people buy cheap China Bikes, it was $1300 bucks delivered. **although I do like my Kawasaki, Versys x300 I ride now/ nice to have well made everything.
