CFMOTO 650NK Review 2016

[@saieahera9475]

I used to look down on Chinese bikes as knock offs and fly by night but this one really caught my attention. Now I am trying to watch as many English review videos about this one as I am planning on buying it this year. I really could use a sound advice.

[@tonkiboy]

Saiea Hera and what advice would that be

[@saieahera9475]

What are the most common and the major problems that you faced with it to this date. How was the aftermarket support for it? Lastly wa it worth keeping in the long run?

[@tonkiboy]

actually i had no major problems with it . other than me breaking stuff on it ie the plastics or the mirrors . aftermarket support was good . all parts were readily available online or at a local shop that stocked cf moto . yeah it was worth it . i would still own one if my rising style and life hadn't become a factor .

[@R6_Leo]

I own this exact model and the bike is well built, as good as a Japanese bike, the gear changes are similar to my ZX6R and it’s smooth, the bike has good power and pulls really well even for the restricted lams model, so I would imagine derestricted and tuned the bike would be a weapon, it’s cheap and runs as well as the flag ship bikes, 2023 and one wards CF Moto will be a competitor, they are making high quality bikes and making a name for themselves. I did have issues with vibrations on the mirrors and it’s not really an issue for me ever since I went with bar end mirrors, the bike looks good in person and definitely looks like it’s built really well

[@trentbarnes7195]

Hey mate I’ve got one too and everyone’s been telling me how much the handling is bad on it and it has too much acceleration but I love it and personally I’m with you on recommending this bike just be careful the overflow nipple on the side of the radiator snaps

[@tonkiboy]

yeah and just got to watch out for replacement parts the can sometimes be hard to find ! pretty sure the person i sold this bike to totaled it a fw weeks after he bought it !

[@dyllan1195]

my seat was pretty annoying to but eventually it kinda just wore itself in and now rear seat and rider seat both click in easy as.. 9000kms on mine so far.. SO far chewed out a bushing on the shock, my fault from doing stoppies tho lol.. i changed the footpegs because they are piss weak cast and one snapped.. also running 2x pod filters with a custom a/f sensor setup for pods.. yup mirrors are trash replace em. just ordered a full stainless exhaust, ill post a vid of it once it arrives :)

[@duncannyirenda2364]

Just rode my buddies 650nk today. Not too bad, just needed a second to get used to the bike.. since I ride a 750 gsxr. And so true, those bikes do got the Ducati parts.. it's a cool bike. Just gtg used but I'm glad it's not my bike..

[@tonkiboy]

not going to lie i havnt seen another one on the road where i live since uploading this video i shortly got rid of it after for .. reasons haha . Ducati parts Ducati problems

[@claytonmonish2265]

hey mate loved the review, considering getting one of these but my height is a problem as im 6'5, do you think the bike would suit a taller person or am I better off looking elsewhere? cheers

[@tonkiboy]

the bike is quite a tall bike as it is , im at 5'9 and its still comfortable for me . best to find one and have a sit or a test ride . i do know that the newer 2017 has a different seating position and pegs to this one . and personally it felt strange . but that could just be because im used to mine . but yeah best to just get on one and see how it feels .

[@slimrazor9127]

hey it no plm with your bike so far and how long you had those bike ? and where did you get your bike from i never heard of KTM

[@tonkiboy]

Baa Ink had it three years. done 20000 ks or more. never had a problem with it. and it's cfmoto bought it from the cfmoto shop not ktm

[@Mohonnova]

This is a pre-2015 model because it doesn't have a digital dash. Your title says 2016 so just thought I'd point that out. Also I've never had issues with the foot pegs, and 300km on fuel sounds about right but I'm yet to fully test that. Surprised you didn't mention how good the suspension is - my ass never gets sore on it, and I've been on 2+ hour rides. The mirrors are completely useless after ~3,800rpm too. Oh and I took the stickers off also, except for the 650NK ones like yours. All in all great bike but I'm only just over 3,000km in. Definitely recommended.

[@tonkiboy]

+Mohonnova yeah its 2013 pretty sure i say that in the video, no my title says its reviewed in 2016 not it is a 2016. the suspension is shit if you watched the whole video you would have found that out .

[@SirSpinalColumn]

Yeah I was going to say the same, his frame is painted too and the model is powdercoated black.

[@tonkiboy]

+David Ridout the frame is powered coated red, not painted

[@rayevo7468]

can someone vouch for the suspension on a 2017 model vs this 2013 vesion?

[@dani.0605]

how much kilometers now on this niko and any problems

[@spacebubbles1239]

I would just put some dirt bike pegs on it. No one would notice because you have your feet on them plus you get that superior grip.

[@tonkiboy]

na i got r1 pegs and they are awesome !

[@shane0nz]

did you install the night lights?

[@tonkiboy]

shane morrison yhup as stated, I do it to all my bikes

[@nagarjun3555]

what is the top speed and how is it long bumpy rides

[@tonkiboy]

ive had it above 180km/h on a private road, and its not to bad on long rides after you get used to it

[@nagarjun3555]

+tonkiboy awesome dude appreciate for response THANKS YOU VERY MUCH. I am from India and it has been more 4months and not a single review or bike I am able to see online and roads. everybody seem to be in love with KTM.

[@tonkiboy]

+Nagarjun surendra no worries bhai, yeah I had the same problem here so I decided to do one myself!

[@phatho3875]

Is its top speed over 200km/h, bro??

[@tonkiboy]

Phat Ho I've had 190 on track

[@phatho3875]

tonkiboy 650cc and 190km/h. I think it's slow. Am I right?

[@tonkiboy]

not really, the ERN 6 will do about the same and it's a 650. plus if you have ever ridden over 200km/h bro it's quite intimidating. you can always get the bike chipped and mod it to meat your speed needs

[@NathanChisholm041]

Phat Ho wht the fuck do you need to do 200kph? Are you a squid

[@leander7121]

are the night lights stock?

[@tonkiboy]

+Leander Rosario no, aftermarket

[@slimrazor9127]

i was plan to buy me a bike from venom from canada to ship it down to me but im affraid to buy a bike will end up crap on me dont want to waste my money on no $2,500 crap bike ...X22R 250cc

[@tonkiboy]

Baa Ink either do it or don't. make your own choice. if not just get a ninja like everyone else

[@slimrazor9127]

mmmmm so why im readin other people comment other channel sayin how chinese bike are crap it fall apart

[@tonkiboy]

Baa Ink fuck I don't know mate, freedom of speech? have a brain bro buy one and make your own assumptions.

[@neelsmuller3716]

Aaaam, aaaam, aaaaam,aaaaaam,aaaaam

[@slimrazor9127]
