YUNOH, why I bought the Himalayan 450. Less windscreen = MORE VIEW and fresh air, more feeling of speed. Prefer yung design ng Himalayan "Built like a tank", hindi natatakpan ng crashbar yung design ng motor. Minimalist, modern at classic design lalo na yung Kaza Brown Fuel economy (30-33kmpl) during break in period, aabot siguro yan ng 26-28 kapag kinarera mo sa daan. Ganda ng 450 ADV bikes ngayon!

Vamos!!

[@codecifra]

Tipid sa gas, sana ganyan next version ng 450mt

[@typing.....................]

that 18-20KPL of 450mt is the reason I'm holding back to get one. yep its a beautiful bike for affordable price but the gas cosumption is so nuts 💀

[@bulthaosen1169]

That's quite low Indeed.

[@motopasky]

This is opposite to what Australian reviewers report: 450MT has more comfort for touring and highway use, whilst the Himi 450 is more offroad capable.

[@nielolee]

We are starting to see real-rider reviews trickling in now, over the press/social influencer reviews.

[@interstellargod6959]

These Philippines riders are amateur..they are just casual riders.. so they have mix reviews..try for yourself any of these bikes

[@kevkiwi54]

What reviews? Only first ride impressions out there at the moment.

[@interstellargod6959]

They ride for many days in these events..all kind of terrain..have you ever look into this.?

[@denchua]

​@@interstellargod6959 Clearly we need a review from Pol Tarres so the common man will understand.

[@jamesvalpuesta]

Waiting for the MT 450 here in the UK. Sounds perfect except for high fuel consumption. Thanks for a great discussion guys.

[@nielolee]

If you are power-sliding offroad among other things and hitting 150 km/h max speed runs, the bike is being tested and ridden hard - under those conditions, any bike is going to chug down fuel like no tomorrow, I would expect better returns when being used as commute or on the highway doing max road speed limits between 60kms to 100kms (or 110 km - Express ways) - this applies to my country Australia.

[@bulthaosen1169]

​@@nieloleethose are specsheet numbers. I don't think they will change much.

[@christonvaldez9459]

I can't wait to get one MT 450. Im so crazy about this bike performance

[@codecifra]

I like the design ng 450mt, can be modified para mag-mukhang futuristic/cyberpunk ❤

[@FD-tn5ys]

Would you recommend the 450MT for someone looking for a: 1. First big bike 2. First manual bike 3. ONLY bike for 3 years.

[@itourmoto]

If you can sit comfortably on the bike where you can stand flat or maybe a little tiptoed on both feet, i think its perfect for you. As beginner, you need to build confidence and being able to reach the ground helps a lot in achieving that. Everything else will follow. As for spec and features, I would say 400 is perfect for begiiner, not intimidating power but more than capable of what your present skills require. The 450mt creature comfort, like traction control, abs will also help you get started easily and i dont think this will get outdated in 3 years. Hima is a better option for new riders imho, lower clearance, milder engine response and plush suspension imho

[@FD-tn5ys]

@@itourmoto Thank you very much for replying! I'll have a look at the Hima. Will definitely keep your points as a guide. Appreciate it!

[@gobimurugesan2411]

Only for 3 years? Definitely 450MT...lol

[@SumPixelz]

That difference in mileage is definitely not nitpicking. It uses way too much fuel for a 450.

[@nielolee]

Need a Transcript or subtitles to accompany this, It's tough to understand what's being spoken when they mesh English and Tagalog languages, its a decent conversation otherwise, thank you.

[@itourmoto]

Yeah, thats a good suggestion, i'll put subs next time.

[@BobMaglantay-rg5hn]

better if you can bring also, the dakar rally finisher in the name of kove 450cc, 165kgs, motocross rally motorcycle..

[@itourmoto]

If we can get our hands on the Kove bike, why not!

[@mohitraj5615]

I have a 2024 KTM Duke 390. So far at best it has given milage of 25 kmpl. In busy traffic it reduces to around 20-22 kmpl. I have a few questions regarding the bikes discussed in this video. 1) I want to know if the MT 450 would give the same or less range as my Duke on highways and in busy city commutes. 2) How good is the milage of Himalyan 450? I've heard that in certain conditions it goes up to 30kmpl. 3) Is the 805mm accessory seat of the Himalyan 450 any good for someone who is 5 feet 5 inches tall? I am looking for an ADV like MT 450 because it's 800mm seat height seems very accessible for someone on the shorter side.

[@byahetyovlogs9362]

parehong adventure bike na gusto ko nagsama dito :)

[@itourmoto]

Ride safe always brother!

[@thanatos5209]

Hope CFmoto 450 mt gets launched in India 🥲

[@itourmoto]

I didnt know it was not released in India, of all countries

[@jemstudio806]

​​@@itourmoto CF Moto is still a small player in India with limited models and dealer network. The MT will need a higher commitment from the company in terms of service and back up. If they mess it up, it could lead to bad press and reputation. Good bike killed by bad network.

[@vickykrish95]

they cant compete in india, they ran away, royal enfield himalayan 450 is very cheap in india compared to overseas.

[@chaitanyasaikumarnimmala6392]

No need of chinese

[@RS23545]

chinese bikes can't compete in india with indian and japanese bike brands.

[@Samantha99-g9r]

Himalayan for me, kung masiraan man madaling ayusin wala masiadong Sensor di tulad ni cfmoto na ang daming sensors. And yung makina ng himalayan na sherpa ay kakaiba, malakas parin humatak kahit high altitude, di tulad ni cfmoto baka bumaba yung power and torque kung nasa high altitude ka na.
