Looking at your video & all the positive things you said about the bike. I had already decided to get one & your video sold it. I've ordered one & it should arrive next week.

[@roadblastmedia]

Thats awesome mate! Enjoy your new ride!!

Nice review! Cheers from El Paso, Texas!

[@roadblastmedia]

Thanks mate!!

[@upnorthrider]

I’ve looked as these bikes, cool you’ve done a review on it. Quick shifters are cool for when you’re giving it heaps. Bit if a step up from the Himi Cheers 😎

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah bro its wicked as! Lucky i have access to them through the shop it really surprised me how good it was for the money

[@rabfergy7155]

You forgot to mention the 4 year warranty, cf moto and zontes are really nice bikes the 800 is still out of my price range but I would certainly buy a second hand one if the chance came around. They are great build quality and price and will take you on any adventure any of the more expensive would.

[@roadblastmedia]

As far as im aware in NZ its only a 2 year warranty but too right on the build quality etc brilliant bike for the money!

[@KO-pk7df]

Very good-looking motorcycle with nice colors! So freaking tired of Black. The TFT panel looks easy to read and displayed well. Thanks for the ride along video.

Cheers mate!

Mine goes well, no regrets. Was going to ha a KTM890, the KTM spec the same as the CFmoto, was $9000 more expensive.

G'day Vinni, glad to you back in the saddle, people always have a bad opinion when n something different comes along, look at Royal Enfield and the 650 range, everyone said it's for India those are shit, well they did a great job with bike and it's a top selling motorcycle in the world, and the same for Chinese bikes, make them good they will sell, cheers mate Neil, and l was first to comment,.

That is a really nice bike and at a more sensible price than most looks great in the blue mate which is my colour .Does it come with the quick shifter as standard cos with the KTM's ya have to pay extra to get it programed in I think it's about £400.00 over here .The front looks really good to great watch mate well done .Amazing bike !!😉👌👍

[@roadblastmedia]

Cheers mate glad you enjoyed the video! And no the quickshifter comes standard on this! Good to hear from you!

[@MultiOutdoorman]

Check it out in NZ ... The uk range comes with 4 years parts and labour warranty plus breakdown cover. Thats confidence from CF Moto. I just think there are not enough dealerships around. I understand your enthusiasm. Cheers !

I have visited the CFMoto dealership. I must say, it has top notch quality.

[@ruahinesrider]

I like the gold rims.

Shes a beaut bro! So glad i get to ride it

[@raydoyle45]

Well done Vinnie. Time for Andy to give you a raise. Great Demo of this great looking motorcycle. Instead of the Triumph as your pick up steed you can use this CF now! 😁

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha he already has mate, cheers for the comment! And great Idea haha this bike is alot more usable aswell. Would be a good daily for me, although i might find myself going to work via dunedin 😆

[@scottchesher5296]

That would be nice to find out on my own. Once I put my hands on one they’ve advertised them hitting the dealerships here in our country for 2023, but if you had to see one try to watch videos on it, maybe a handful or an English I live in the United States I prefer to watch videos of people, riding the bike in the bike, been through and tested before buying it so with millions of other people, I would prefer to hear and see videos in English. It tells me a lot when I can understand it thank you and God bless keep in mind it’s a real quick and easy way to ruin the sale of that bike not having it in stock really really puts a damper on everything. Thank you.

[@roadblastmedia]

Thanks for your comment mate! Yes availability is a big issue and i can see how that would put buyers off. I will say its well worth the wait!

[@hurtadoaviles]

Best bang for your buck hands down, period, full stop.

[@Toxicdemon2]

I want this as my 2nd bike to go on longer touring trips

[@Beanerds]

😆 Told ya so ,,, Great bikes or what Vinnie ? and thanks for the review . By the way CFMOTO make these engines and many more for KTM . ps. , you can loose 20kg by binning the CAT and exhaust and fitting an aftermarket , just like the RE exhausts , damn heavy !

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha cheers brian! Yeah great bikes! Cant wait to try the others!

[@andymok8410]

Yes indeed, this model is comparison to Benelli srt 800. But this bike is giving more torgue n power👍👍

[@gregstretton8584]

Mate, it is easy to service once you have spent half a day removing all the panels that are kind of linked together, right down to taking the filler cap off the tank.

[@roadblastmedia]

Takes me 20 mins to do an oil and filter. About 15 mins to do a water pump impellor. So very easy to service. Any other major stuff youll have to remove fairrings but thats pretty normal for any bike apart from Nakeds

[@paulcollings5424]

Hi Vinnie , love your enthusiasm but you do like the sound of your own voice a bit mate. I've scanned the video a few times , did you even mention or expand on the cruise control ? I couldn't find it ? Love the bike though .

[@upnorthrider]

Mean bro

[@paintup46]

Ive seen CFMoto sideXsides for several years here in SW USA, they seem to be built as good as a Polaris and handle the deserts well. If I was going to trust any Chinese brand it’d be this one.

[@roadblastmedia]

Yeah mate we have sold tons of the side by sides with minimal problems pretty much as good as any other brand but with properly competitive pricing

[@allang1990]

Nice review mate. Do you reckon it would be a good city commuter? I love this bike but not sure how it would be for my main riding purpose of commuting. Cheers from Australia

[@roadblastmedia]

I think it would fine as a city commuter it is very easy to ride and the clutch is very light, but this will also depend on your height as it is quite tall so it may not be ideal for shorter people. If you are planning on something to commute on and have as a highway tourer its perfect!

[@allang1990]

@@roadblastmedia awesome thanks mate. I’m 6.1 so the height is actually welcome on this bike 😂 I’ll source a test ride. Cheers mate

[@roadblastmedia]

@@allang1990 nice mate! Being 6.1 would be perfect for that bike man! Hope the test ride goes well!

[@mattrobinson898]

I was hesitant because it was a KTM engine not because it was Chinese built 😂, I ended up getting the limited edition with sandstone yellow and don't regret it one bit, 3 year warranty helps put the mind at ease

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha fair enough mate the LC8c is one of the more reliable mills from KTM! And the sandstone colour looks great! We couldnt get that one in!

[@gabrielbarron3268]

I'm five foot seven so basically a short legged guy is there adjustment for me

[@jDot2414]

How is the bike on highway ? Does the wind beat you up

[@UnimpressedAussie]

what are these like banging through the twisties? how much less boring than a reasonable CC naked?

[@roadblastmedia]

Haha pretty fun for a big adventure bike they handle well and have heaps of poke getting out of the corners. But its not a bike you buy to have fun through corners might aswell buy a sport bike if thats all you want to do. Considering what this bike is designed to do it corners well for the class. But its not going to hold a candle to a 600cc sport bike or similar when it comes to the twisties

[@slim2570]

can I ask how tall are u.. are u able to sit on it with a flat foot down?

[@edsonroadmoto]

It’s about $13k in the 🇺🇸

[@sweetcostarica]

Need a long term review of anything made in China. Checking especially the engine wear, leaking, & rust/corrosion.

[@roadblastmedia]

Good point if youre considering what has come out of china in the past. But these are a bit different than what we have gotten used to. Very high build quality. As good as the rest of the market sometimes better. And backed by the same 3 year warranty the big brands offer

[@sweetcostarica]

@@roadblastmedia I am thinking you are correct🤔 *_but_* buyer beware. Also, yes China has been making much better products theses days.

[@jessicalee5487]

Can we have a one year later ride update? Would really want to know your opinion after one year of riding it before jumping the gun and get one.

[@roadblastmedia]

Have had a few customers who have owned over a year all still love their bikes! Also we have not had one break down or have any problems yet just tyres and servicing one customer even loved theirs so much they traded it in and upgraded to the explore model

I wish we had that in NZ but we only have the 300sr at the moment and the 650s and 700s reviews will be out soon

[@REVVEDup06]

@@roadblastmedia They will release it in the US market next year. I hope they will too in your country. I'm sure 450sr will not disappoint you. I saw one in a moto show and it looks good in person. Here in my country everybody's calling it a Ninja 400 killer. Saw a video that it's faster than CBR500r and Ninja 400(head to head). Watch out for the 800NK too! Anyways, best of luck bro and you gained a new subscriber. 👌

Really more a review of modern bikes than a review of this specific bike. When your only ridden comparison is 20+ years old, it’s of limited relevance.

[@roadblastmedia]

Sorry what bike is 20+ years old?

[@roadblastmedia]

Also i go in to detail about this bike in this video features etc How is this a blanket review of modern bikes? They all have something different to offer

[@onecookieboy]

Certainly has all the electronic aids but at the end of the day it's only $2k less than the king of ADV's, the Yamaha Tenere.

[@roadblastmedia]

The Tenere is a great bike! Would love to ride one some day, but for what this bike is and how much you get for the money its still a great machine for the right person! It is alot more focused on road touring more than off road like the Tenere. Not to say it cant hack up some gravel. Cheers for the comment mate! Always good to get other opinions!

[@unclejohn5012]

The Tenre in Australia is 6k more. That 6K can go towards mods for this machine and you'll have money spare to upgrade your gear!

[@onecookieboy]

@@unclejohn5012 I live in NZ and the price of the Tenere is $17,899 NZ and he quotes $15,500NZ for the CF Moto. However, there is the Tenere World Raid which is a seperate and much higher specced model and that comes in at $22,500.

[@unclejohn5012]

@@onecookieboy My only thought is the CFMotos come to Australia then shipped to NZ. As the importer for CFMoto in Aus is pretty big. And maybe that's why there so expensive there?

[@onecookieboy]

@@unclejohn5012 Don't know, but I do know that if I was in the market for a mid size ADV I would pay a bit extra for the Yamaha. TBH I also doubt the engine in the CF is the same as the KTM unit even if they are made in the same factory, it wouldn't make any sense for the premium brand.

[@jerricklim966]

Its exteremly buzzy at 140km/hr onwards, making it very uncomfortable to ride long n fast (140km/hr is not even fast). Other than tht....its a good quality bike, best in its price range

[@roadblastmedia]

I havent had it up to 140 yet ill need to test that out haha!

[@DirtFishing]

I test rode one today. Not impressed at all. The word that comes to my mind is unrefined. Throttle was not smooth, display hard to read in the sunlight. They offer a lot of features but bike was just not smooth enough and almost felt rough especially under 3k rpm.

[@roadblastmedia]

The one you test rode must not have had the ECU fuel map update done. When these first came out they were a bit rough on the fuelling that has now been fixed with an over the air update. Some dealers still need to get on to this. I can agree about the display though when the sun hits it is very hard to read

[@LifetimeBiker]

I don't know Vin` , Thats pretty close to the cost of 2x Himalayans` , 1 to ride and 1 x spare or for partner.😄 Yeah its certainly got all the bells and whistles but .... And I know this is going to be potentially controversial , You as an average worker can probably afford to purchase one of these bikes should you desire too , I wonder if the person on the production line in China can also...🤔 It seems Indian workers can afford to purchase R.E.s as an example , Austrians KTMs , Bavarians BMWs etc, etc On the longevity side , I don't know but in a world where it seems many manufacturers usable product lifetime seems to be about 5-7 years we will have to wait and see. Like with most things it will not be the big parts you need to worry about but the unsourceable small bit that stops the whole show !! Longest lasting product ever to come out of China seems to be "COVID" Ever since the world was decimated by that we as a family try , When we can and its not easy to do , Purchase as little Chinese produced products/components as possible. Our personal choice , Not attempting to influence others in any way. Just voting with our wallets as such. Anyway , I've raved on enough. 🤐 , I'll let myself out.😔 As for the video , Excellent as always , Yes was wondering what had happened as time was ticking by but figured , correctly it seems , that life was just getting in the way. You take care and stay upright , Look forward to the next vid` regardless of brand included. Cheers 🍺

[@roadblastmedia]

Some good points there mate and im not sure of the conditions the workers are in im assuming itd be one of the better jobs in China to be honest im guessing CF moto would also be alot more affordable over in China since there would be no importing costs for them anyways. Im reviewing the bike its self and as far as build quality and parts it is of standard of any other major brand we can import all parts down to a specific bolt within a week since there is a supplier that operates out of Australia and this bike shares alot of parts with the KTM 790 so you have the ability to go through KTM aswell to get certain parts. Cheers for the comment mate always good to have a discussion about these things

[@LifetimeBiker]

@@roadblastmedia Hey Vin` , Thanks for the extra insight and valid points , It all counts in the long run. Bike certainly does have all the features for sure. I have a dealer not too far away from me and they say they are selling well. I also see that there is a 250cc version of the Hanway Scrambler , Have you had any sign of that yet ? Have not seen "Hanley" over here at all.

@@roadblastmedia Yes , It would be. I also keep seeing stuff pointing towards the new Himalayan being water cooled and I hope that it is not. Just another thing to leave you stranded and takes away from the simplicity and ruggedness of the Himy.
