the only cruiser not designed for oldies .

[@eddywave3315]

Yeah it looks really good, it looks powerful and interesting, design is admirable

Yamaha V Max!

Great review. I'm using superlight 200 now which also has same problem with 1st gear to Neutral too also other KEEWAY too Dorado, Blackster, Benda v302(Only Benda in Thailand now) mostly I think it's because of KEEWAY's gearbox since then till now I'm not sure why they didn't fix it. IT'S MYSTERY!!

[@eddywave3315]

Thank you! QJMotor owns Benda as far as I understand, and older QJ models had gearbox issues, but the recent bikes (SRK921, SRV600) are getting so much better in this regard! So I hope they will address the issue with Benda as well✊

Holy Cow! You are a Batman! P.S. And it was a "badass Tyler Durden thing" with these inserted frames 25 😎

Man I do appreciate it) I thought no one will notice)

[@karlalberts6238]

Thanks for sharing this experience, much appreciated. I am in Beijing and got my Benda 700 LFC in feb this year 2023, riding some 1700 km since then. Driving lots of 125cc bikes from Japan when in my teens. So this is my first mid sized bike. The weight is new to me but as you said a lot lower than comparable sized bikes, but still. Short comments to your points: + The front breaks are good and effective + The price is very reasonable (they taken out all but the necessary things like ABS) + The engine has lots of power but at the higher range of the rpm, over 6000 + The suspension is not a problem to my experience, just adjust them maybe? + You can easily get a good emotional bond to the bike, looks feel, I don't know why - The vibrations of the bike starts at 85 km/h, you can feel it in the footpegs and all over - Is this really a cruiser when you need to run at soo high rpm? The noise... - Resently after servicing at 1000km its misfiring and seems work on 3 cylinders only I think its a good company, its a good bike but it needs some more time to evaluate if its good or not. What I have seen though is that the Benda company is very responsive to issues and show an intention to fix them.

[@eddywave3315]

I thank you for your comment, it’s way more informative then my video) I lived in Beijing for 2 years, but unfortunately never ridden a motorcycle there, but according to what I saw and remember the traffic is quite dense, so Benda 700 is not the most optimal bike for it) but if you want to get the most “optimal” option probably you would buy some e-bike like 快递员😂😂😂not a full blown motorcycle with lots of power. I enjoyed Benda a tone, if I could put it in my garage and have it for some recreational purposes, I wouldn’t hesitate Do you regret buying LFC700 or it was worth it for you? And tell me if you’re interested in Benda 500 review? Appreciate it thanks again)

[@karlalberts6238]

Na, i don't regret getting it at all. And yes i use it for recreation to get out of the city during weekends. One more thing to mention is that the rear tire is so fat it does not have a rear stand and you cannot use a stand alone rear stand either. You need one of those lifts used for cars. Thats why i let the dealer shop clean the chain. Yes, why not a Benda 500 review 😀 @@eddywave3315

[@egyptianfalcon4749]

@eddywave3315 @karlalberts6238 Excuse me , I want your opinion about Benda lfc 700 is it better or Kove 450rr ?... ( I know they are completely different, but the price is somehow close !!! ... I'm little bit scared from supersport bikes 😂 because they are very light weight and legs position is very high from the ground so, it's more risky to ride a supersport motorcycle like Kove 450rr as a biggener rider !!! ... in the other hand, Benda LFC 700 unfortunately had 2 downsides ( I actually don't know if these downsides are real or not but I saw videos on KZbin only !!! ) ... 1st one is the extreme heat of the engine for just short trips which causes legs burning !!! .... 2nd one is the white smoke from the exhaust which means oil leakage to piston heads !!! ... so I really don't know which bike of these 2 bikes is better ?!!!

[@eddywave3315]

@@egyptianfalcon4749 if I would buy a bike for a city, I would rather go with Kove 450rr coz it’s smaller and more maneuverable (still not the best bike for a city by far) if you don’t like to split lines, and you’re ok with a heavier bike then Benda will be a great option, but still in my opinion over time it might get a bit tiring to daily it, especially when you get stuck in the uphill traffic jam) you will be very concentrated on the rear brake) after riding Benda for 3 days I felt so free of pressure ridding my z400) Sorry my comment is all over the place, taking that I have only two options, I would go with Kove, coz for my conditions it’s a more suitable option, but Benda is a more comfortable bike for long rides out of trafic, it’s way more attractive, and unique, people still ask me about it) oh and brakes on Benda are much better. A very hard choice to make, but I hope I help a bit🤜🤛

[@egyptianfalcon4749]

@@eddywave3315 Thank you so much bro 👍💯 , and yes I totally agree with you it's pretty hard to choose between these 2 great bikes 😅 ... as you said Kove 450rr is much easy to ride in traffic and I actually want the bike to use in the city center so, I'll go for Kove 450rr 💯 ... btw your videos and reviews are really awesome 💯💯👍 keep sharing videos bro 🌹🌹🌹

Very nice review because was made on the streets! just at it should be! traffic and bump included (lol) About the vibration issue I had a Harley Davidson and THAT'S VIBRATIONS!!! You have to adjust all screws after a ride... was part of the fun, so is not an issue for me. Sound good so far and I´m thinking to buy one and already is a waiting list to deliver... Let's see...

Hello and thank you. We now have Benda here in Spain and I am going to test ride one soon, however, I don't think the LFC700 has arrived yet. I saw a promo of this bike, where there are headlights coming from out of the sides and the suspension gets adjusted automatically or something. Was it this bike as well? Anyways, great review from the country where more and more good bikes are coming from. Greetings!

In Russia cost of this bike 1 000 000 roubles (11 000 USD) whith all tax and shipping from China by dealer, whith 2 years warranty. Nice bike, i will buy this in april. One thing bad - chain. But you can think about another one bike, which name is Gaokin Thor 1000 (name in Russia), in Europe his name MBP C1002V. They dont have chain! Good bike, but he is not futuristical like Benda LFC700!

[@eddywave3315]

Yeah I know this bike! I wanted to check Gaokin Thor 1000 for a long time, the problem is that pretty much no one has one. And they aren’t available for a test ride in my city. You are right, these two bikes are very similar in Wow factor! But Benda is more futuristic, and Thor is more classic! If I find Thor, I would make a review for sure!

[@maxg6056]

Chain is good, it transfer more power to the wheels. Belt is better, cardan is the worst

[@Purowalangkwenta]

Here in the Philippines we only have the Napoleon and the Chinchilla. I wanted that LFC but its not available so I will buy the Napoleon next month.

[@eddywave3315]

Actually, even though Napoleon isn’t as big, and doesn’t have an enormous rear tyre, it’s just as conspicuous as LFC700! I think you won’t be disappointed!

Like this design a lot. Just needs a bigger motor. 1100cc for example 120bhp and a big gob of midrange punch. When is it coming to Norway?

[@eddywave3315]

Unfortunately I’ve never been to Norway, but I know that you guys have some incredible roads, where you can use 120 bhp) for me this 700cc engine felt quite good! It’s punchy enough for the city I’m in) but I know that Benda has designed a new V4 which has over 1000cc, can’t wait for the release date! I wish I could answer your last question, but I don’t know when it comes to Norway, hope soon✊

Got one of these, had to change the bars because being folded in half (front pegs, wide bars) isn't fun. It's done me well for 10k kms. Suspension is ROUGH! The stability is great on straights and once you get used to it, U-turning and curves (drag pegs) are fun.

I said 235kg coz this is an official weight that Benda claims, however I didn’t weigh the bike myself, I know that oftentimes Chinese manufacturers lie about the weight, if they somehow managed to miss weight the bike by 50 kg then it’s a huuuge bummer 😅. It felt heavy actually

Thanks for the amazing review, I would want it for city 30 minutes rides on mid to high traffic in Mexico, I know it gets hot and I love to squeeze between cars, would you still recommend it ?

[@eddywave3315]

I highly appreciate your comment! Means a lot to me 🤜🤛 I think this isn’t the most suitable bike for what you’ve mentioned, 30 minutes is enough to get it running hot, and it isn’t the best bike for squeezing through the traffic, with that being said, this bike is absolutely unique, and if you like this type of a motorcycle, I think you can give it a go) it will turn heads more then 99%of bikes, and overall for this form factor of a motorcycle it’s kinda light) so if you’re compare it to some other big cruisers, it’s definitely not the worst bike for your conditions) hope I helped, let me know what you think 🤝

We have some Benda bikes in Moscow. But only 300cc models, and they are quite expensive... But design is great. I have a Chinese enduro motorcycle, drive it every day and I quite like it.

[@eddywave3315]

Benda 300 is one of the most ubiquitous cruisers in China, I don’t think it’s the best small displacement cruiser, coz it’s heavier and less maneuverable compared to relatively same displacement cruisers fromQJMotor, cfmoto, Voge, but Benda was the first one, which is an achievement in my books, and the design is quite brutal, and one can argue it’s better, then other cruisers, this is the main reason many people purchase these. Reliability isn’t as the best as far as I know, but still good enough. New Chinese bikes are getting better and fast, I think people who buy them, wouldn’t be disappointed BTW what’s the brand and displacement of your enduro?

[@DmitrySh.]

@@eddywave3315 Сfmoto, Voge are well known in our market, CFMOTO 250NK, 700CL, 450CL-C, Voge AC350 or 300Rally, DS and others. There are Zontes brands to try on with their space design, Kove. We mostly come across entry-level, cheap models. And the more expensive ones are rare, they are crowded out by used motorcycles from Japan or America, and these are all quite expensive equipment, comparable in price to cheap cars. For example, for the price of CFMOTO 800MT Sport you will buy our Lada Niva Legend, for the top CFMOTO 800MT Explore you will buy Lada Niva Trevel or Lada Vesta, or many different used ones. We often buy something very cheap just to ride, or who can afford an expensive toy Harley... Near my work there are a Yamaha MT-09, a Ducati Multistrada, a Pair of Honda CB, a Bajaj, and my Regulmoto. I bought a Regulmoto CR-Z300 in 2021, it has a 174 engine, well known among us, like the 172. This is a cheap vehicle, I eliminated the factory defects, did some tuning (quiet muffler FCR carburetor, large fuel tank) and drive it to work every day. It’s much faster than public transport, and we also have free parking for motorcycles. Yes, we have a lot of new products from China, both automobile and motorcycle. New Chinese models are better and better, there is no doubt about that.

It's already available in France and will soon arrive here in Italy, so if there is a Keeway rep in Romania it's just a matter of time until it gets there.

@@eddywave3315 the V300 has already arrived here in Italy and the 700 is due to arrive. I've seen the 300 and it's beautiful, but rather expensive for what it is; were there a 1000-1200cc version at an affordable price, I would give it a try.

If you still have the bike arouNd, check the rear preload.

With all due respect, good review. Now, getting back on Earth: Have you heard of "no replacement for displacement"? Your daddy with his 1800 cc engine is not going to give "your respect back" while you ride 700 cc, no matter how pretty it is. To my disappointment, pretty much all Chinese bikes are "good looks with mediocre engines and whimsy quality". Give this bike a solid 1000 or 1300 Honda 4-cyl and Honda assembly quality, and then we can talk.

[@eddywave3315]

Thank you for your comment. Actually I agree with everything you said, currently Chinese bikes don’t produce big cc engines, but they are getting their, for a city like mine, 700cc with 90+hp feels excessive in my opinion, but on a highway 1000cc+ cruiser should feel much better, recently I’ve reviewed Benda 500 v4, and Benda has the same engine but with 1300 cc coming out soon, so in a tangible future we will check what big displacement cruises from China feel like ✊

Makes no sense. Huge bulky bike with no power. Too big for beginners and too weak for more advanced riders. But I like that Chinese companies cuts the prices, so brands I prefer needs to lower their prices to be competitive.

You made a great point! It’s hard to imagine who this bike is made for, but they made it unique and that’s the selling point!
