Before you buy a CF Moto Ibex

[@jamiefredericksen1559]

I have ibex 800t with titanium exhaust , cat delete, yoshimura exhaust, intake from throttle punks, and tune from msc. It is amazing. One of the best bikes I have ever traveled on . I have had 15 bikes throughout life. I have an Indian challenger limited and a Honda vfr1200 also. The ecu tune straightened out throttle issues. And opened up a lot of hp and torque. I have had zero issues. Very comfortable to ride. I also have the ABS cut off switch from throttle punks so I can go off-road and turn my ABS off.

[@jamiefredericksen1559]

Also comes with cruise, heated seats and grips. Well worth the money

[@ridingwithmarshall]

@@jamiefredericksen1559 They should make the bike like that! Sounds perfect. I figured it was a mapping issue. I still don't understand why their website says it's a BDR bike, but has traction control on all the time.

[@jamiefredericksen1559]

Throttle punk has the ABS turn off switch

[@jamiefredericksen1559]

Everything with the overseas model the 800MT will work on the US version of the 800t or 800s

I love my Ibex. Rode (not trailer) out west to Utah. Great reliability and great performance.

[@akiuliano]

While they may be good for some, I think I’ll pass. Nice review.

[@roccoracer]

I have a 2022 CF moto 650 adventura. It is an excellent bike that has given me zero problems. My only complaint is the fuel mapping. It has 2 very noticeable flat spots. If you look at the reviews, you will be surprised how good they really are.

[@ridingwithmarshall]

@@roccoracer Jeff just bought a 2023 650 Adventura. I rode it around a little. He had it in rain mode for some reason, but we will probably review it. Seems like a nice bike, especially for what little he paid for it.

[@roccoracer]

@@ridingwithmarshall I only paid $4500 out the door for mine.

[@ridingwithmarshall]

​@@roccoracerunlike HD, it is easy to get a CFMoto for less than MSRP.

[@gerardhanson6545]

I tried one at a demo. I thought it was entirely comfortable and smooth. It seemed a blit lacking at low RPMs but it would wake up toward the top of the mid range. Did remapping open it up at lower revs? Seems like it could have plenty of grunt with a tune.

[@TwistofWrist]

I test rode this and was gonna buy it in Australia but the dealer didn't want to pay me much for my Z900 trade-in. So I think I'll just get a 450MT instead.

[@ridingwithmarshall]

@@TwistofWrist Dealers generally go buy the adage "buy low and sell high".

[@TwistofWrist]

@ridingwithmarshall Yes mate. I just spent thoudsands on new tyres, front rotors and brake pads but they offered me 3K AUD less than market value. I currently have 1 bike so I thought the 800MT would be my daily ride and ADV. But looks like I'm gonna keep the Z900 and get a second bike now.

[@miketran4289]

The Ibex 450 / MT 450 is where it's at.

[@ridingwithmarshall]

They didn't have that one ready for riding for some reason.

[@TwistofWrist]

Probably cause they only have 1 or 2 bikes there. Can't risk it being stacked by someone. 😂

[@ukbusman]

Hi Marshall, did they not let you film the rides in case they broke down? any warranties? I bought my Julie a Chinese 125 for £600 new, just to see how she got on as her first bike. It literally fell apart as she was riding it, I was behind picking up bits. It went in the bin. After a week I could see she was safe, so I bought her a Honda PCX 125. She has had it now for 8 years, and nothing has gone wrong with it.

[@ridingwithmarshall]

Yamaha doesn't let me film either, and they say it's lawyers. My concern with Chinese bikes is getting parts

[@seanobrien5520]

Can I ask your age ??

[@rhettloudenback6072]

Did you get a Rocket3 dude???

[@ridingwithmarshall]

@@rhettloudenback6072 Indeed. The clip of the 3 rocket engines was a hint. It is too much fun, but time for first service already.

[@rhettloudenback6072]

@@ridingwithmarshall That's awesome! I sat on one at a dealership in Charlotte last weekend and it was an incredible bike. I just purchased a 2024 Fury so that is what brought me to your channel, but I'm already thinking about my next one and I like that Rocket! Hope you enjoy and look forward to seeing some videos of it. One more thing, do be careful, that thing is a BEAST from what I've seen! LOL

[@rhettloudenback6072]

BTW, I actually caught your hint on the previous video about the Walther, which was James Bond's gun, and he was British....Triumph....

[@ridingwithmarshall]

@@rhettloudenback6072 The R3 is like a reserved British gentleman in daily riding until you twist the throttle and then it springs into action. I'll be doing a James Bond style video on it as I slowly write the script. Have fun on the Fury! Before taking off, put it in neutral and work the clutch twice and you won't need to warm up the engine.

just get a vstrom 800de

[@geraldscott4302]

I have owned Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Royal Enfield, Triumph, BSA, H-D, Moto Guzzi, Bultaco, Hodaka, and Vespa bikes. All of them carbureted, with analog instruments. But there is no way in hell I would ever own a communist chinese bike.

[@ultimomos5918]

Lol you don't really get communism do you

[@geraldscott4302]

@@ultimomos5918 Are you trying to say that China is not communist? because it most certainly is. It is also an enemy of the U.S., and pretty much all western countries.

[@seanobrien5520]

😂😂😂😂😂😂,, check everything in your home see where it's made 😂

[@dinkydotzero]

Before you buy a CF Moto Ibex.... lol why in the world would i buy Chinese junk? Seriouly it's bad enough you almost have to buy japaneese bikes these days but you have to draw the line someplace

[@ultimomos5918]

They're not? They're genuinely great bikes with solid quality. I mean if you wanna overpay for slow, "Murican made" machines that are anything but and exist as status symbols for boomers long past their prime then go for it. Just don't get pissed when the guy that paid 1/5 of the cost is out having a blast with his choice while you're waiting on a $600 oil change.

[@jasongardner1910]

@@ultimomos5918wait till he finds out even BMW bikes are made in China

Rather buy Chinese or Russian than USA junk
