Cf moto 450NK (English) review

[@Wild1Banana]

I cannot wait for CF MOTO 450 NK in the USA to arrive and will run to he dealer like a lunatic to buy one when it arrives. This checks all he boxes for handling fuel economy & Performance for fun rides to work etc. I rushed to the dealer to see he 450SR but could not deal with the cafe sport bike handlebar position and really liked the 300 Nk allot and its ergonomics was perfect for me and super fun to ride.

[@eddywave3315]

I rode250nk( which is the same version of 300 nk, but for Chinese market) and it’s one of the best 250 cc nakeds here, and the price is super cheap 2000$). But the new generation is on another level, the gearbox is way smoother, the quality has gotten better, and in general bike feels so much better, hope it comes soon to the USA and you can enjoy riding, you won’t be disappointed

Dizimini have you rode the NK300 CF bike ? I test rode the NK300 Single and really like the rider ergonomics because it was super comfortable for me. I am 5-11 and 275lb and was blown away at how comfortable the NK300 was but have not sat on the new NK450 TWIN bike and really wanted to ride and buy one if it fits me like the NK300 for additional power and highway freeway cruise ability. Allot of the other small cc bikes have really cramped ergonomics and seem better suited for super short people .

[@eddywave3315]

I had NK250 which is 99% the same bike but for local market (review is on the channel), and if you liked ergonomics on NK 300 You would absolutely love ergonomics on NK 450, and I believe suspension on NK 450 Is really suitable for your weight. I’m 6.1 and 190 lb for reference and it felt much better then z400 or r3, for my size. It’s feels more comfortable then Duke 390 as well. One think I want you to know is that new CFMOTOs are way more reliable, I had some problems with older ones, new ones are on another level. I love NK 450, I think it’s my favorite beginner friendly naked so far

[@JohnnieV]

My friend. If you are 5-11 I think you will be very cramped on the nk 300. The 800 ibex would be great for a tall person like yourself imo.

[@xchalibur77]

It would be nice to see the difference in rpm at 130 km\h between the 450 and 800.

The difference would be significant, but it’s hard to accomplish here in Qingdao, but I do want to make a speed comparison, and acceleration check

[@edgarcampos8059]

What about the quality of this bike against your z400? Do you feel one better than the another?

[@eddywave3315]

My Kawasaki z400 has 8000 km on it and it’s 4 years old, feels like a brand new bike, CF moto is a brand new bike, by now it feels great, the gearbox is great too, not on the Kawasaki level though, I would pick it over Kawasaki to be honest, but one thing too mention, in China you can’t ride a bike that older then 13 years, crazy I know) in 13 years Kawasaki will probably be as good as a new bike too, cfmoto not so sure, and my girlfriend still prefers Kawasaki over other bikes (ktm 390 duke, cfmoto 450nk) due to the lower seat high)

[@eddywave3315]

Hi, thanks a lot for the accent) I’m not Chinese though, but I leave here for some time) CFMOTO made CLC450 which is a first cruiser/bobber from CFMOTO.

[@donderstorm1845]

hard to choose the 450NK vs Duke 390 as a beginner. both very new and similar. biggest difference i can tell is the 450NK has more power but the Duke has quick shifter. leaning towards the Duke because i think i would like the quick shifter.

[@eddywave3315]

Duke is a bit taller, it’s jerkier from the bottom, but will be a bit slower later on, if you wanna learn wheelies duke is better, as a daily bike nk450 I think is better, and depending on where you are the price difference could be a huge factor, since the newest KTM Duke 390 isn’t available yet, nk is a newer bike overall

[@donderstorm1845]

​@@eddywave3315 thanks for replying. my height is 177cm so both bikes should be fine. i don't like the jerkiness, i would probably buy a fuelx lite. i will use it as a city commuter mostly with some highway. i'm in the netherlands, the price will be around €5700-6300. the duke 390 is much more expensive. possibly €7500-8000. that's possibly a €2000 difference, enormous difference for a similar bike. the NK450 might even be better. i have a question, seeing as the NK450 comes with a slipper clutch, do you know if it's possible do have a quick shifter and auto blipper installed? i think having a quick shifter and auto blipper will suit me well, but i don't know if you can have those when it has a slipper clutch already.

[@eddywave3315]

@@donderstorm1845 I will not lie, I don’t know wether you can install quick shifter, but something tells me it wouldn’t be as good as the one which comes in stock with KTM, many people asked for a direct back to back comparison between NK450 and Duke 390, it’s hard to arrange now, but I’ll try to make it happen, maybe it would help you to choose

Great info！ 谢谢你🙏🏼 I’m trying to decide this or a 400f, everyone talks about long term reliability (Honda- no question) this needs time, (other thing is resale but I keeps my bikes). Do you know what the warranty is? (I’m in Kunming).

[@eddywave3315]

I don’t know about warranty, but I will tell you my story) in may i bought 2019 7000km z400 paid 27000, I thought Japanese bikes won’t loose value fast on the second hand market, but now the price of it is less then 20000, and I wish I would have bought NK450, coz it’s way better for what I do( learn wheelies and stuff) and NK450 is not dropping the price much, so if I want to swap z400 to nk I have to pay 5000+😂 I think nk450 is quite reliable, I rode one which had over 10000 km, and it runs like a brand new motorcycle. And you can’t ride a bike which is older than 13 years old in China, so reliability wise, your potential Honda in 13 years might be as good as a new bike, but you’ll not be able to ride legally, which is a bummer😒 but we live in China now, so there is nothing we can do😭 Hope it was somehow helpful 🤜🤛
