I just bought one yesterday. I can't wait to pick it up! At a 31.5 inch seat height, my 30" stubs can still flatfoot on this bike. At 66 years old, this is my re-entry bike. Sooo excited!!!

[@Darkvisor]

Great to hear that. Have you taken it out much since you got it? Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)

[@dougfoster5249]

@@Darkvisor I think I have a whole 45 miles on it so far. Good old Western New York weather has been mostly rain so far this week and has more forecast for the rest of the week. I am so looking forward to better weather but I really enjoyed riding it when I had the chance.

[@lasseblomqvist9378]

Got one of those last year I believe from the same dealer where you borrowed this one. Got it due to health issues that made me sell my old bike. Needed something lighter and more reliable. Really happy with it so far even though I have not done a massive amount of driving. I find it very good looking (subjective of course), seems very well built (great detail quality), easy to ride and always gives me a smile on my face. Lots of KTM and Husqvarna influences but with its own flavor. And considering the price point I think it's a great deal.

[@Darkvisor]

Nice to get another comment from an actual owner of this bike. I'm happy to hear that you enjoy it =) If I remember correctly, these bikes are made in same factories as KTM and Husqvarna so its basically a cheaper "disguised" KTM bike. Thanks for watching yet another video of mine Lasse!

[@Alexandru.001]

I have one, the brakes are Brombo on Sport version. On the Heritage version the brackes are J.Juan. It is very comfortable and easy to drive. I use it the most off time in city traffic and sometimes outside the city. I like it verry much, no problems with the bike. I also notice that "V-tech" kick around the 6000 RPM, but i don't have a problem with that. On the sport mode the throttle is verry sensible and fun, also the sound is a bit louder over 6000 RPM, for the city traffic i use Eco mode. Verry happy with it 🏍🏍🏍

[@lamda4738]

Which one do you prefer for mostly city driving, heritage or sport?

[@Alexandru.001]

@@lamda4738 definetly the Heritage, it's more confortable

[@DiveTrainerDan]

Always thought they were pretty interesting. It's a lot of value and features riders have been asking for.

[@Darkvisor]

Thanks for watching Dan

[@JONNNIIINNN]

Very nice bike definitely thinking about taking one in A2 version as my beginner bike. Thank you for nice vid

[@Darkvisor]

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my video. Might be a good and less expensive bike to get for as a beginner bike! =) Let me know if you ended up with one and later on if it was any good in the long run! I've basically never seen one of them on the roads here so would be nice to have an "inside source" =P Thanks for watching, plz subscribe! =)

[@raimee81]

Great bike. I picked mine up yesterday. It's used '22, but still in excellent condition. I've test rode this bike twice this year. It was fine. But taking it on a longer ride home. I like it even more now. It's a great looking bike too. Got it in blue and silver. Seat is black, but I like the look of brown leather. I may change it in the future. It was already decat. Although it sounds awesome, it is loud, so I am considering hunting for the original cat converter. I traded my '09 Suzuki GSX-R600 for this. Direct trade. I think that bike is awesome, but I am trying to improve as a rider in general and I can't do long rides on that thing.

[@Darkvisor]

I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the bike. This bike would be better suited for longer travels yeah. I can't stand the R bikes really. Makes my neck and back hurt thanks for watching please subscribe to support me and my work

I like the looks of some of their adventure bikes

My first choice as a new A2 , I didnt see any black option on the french website is it an option only in UK ?? I Would love to pick this beautifull black !

[@Darkvisor]

I have no clue about the colors being available in different countries. Ask your local dealer about that =) I'm from Sweden... Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)

[@js640]

Great video! I really like this bike! I've also been looking at the Honda Rebel 500. I'm kinda torn. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

[@Darkvisor]

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my video, thanks for telling me. Ooh the honda rebel 500... I have a video of one on my channel, have you seen it? The rebel and this bike are two different type of bikes. The rebell being more cruiser type and this being more "normal/naked" type. So it depends on what you prefer and want to ride. Personally I would pick the rebel because: 1, it's a honda, they are one of the most reliable brands and makes great long lasting bikes. 2, it's a honda... hehe thanks for watching please subscribe to support me and my work

[@js640]

You're welcome! Thank you for all the feed back and insight! I haven't seen your video on the Rebel yet, but I'm going to! I appreciate ya buddy! 🤙🏼

I have had my 22 clx700 sport since June of 23, right placed my first bike ( ninja 400) with in almost a year ago, in June of 23. For the price you can't beat me. Several grand less than the competition. Mine has had zero issues, and walks my friends mt07 every time. The sport is more comfy than it may look, power is good. Only complaints are poor fuel economy and a tiny gas tank you'll need to fill every hundred miles

[@Darkvisor]

Sounds like buying one is good. I've gotten a few comments now from a couple of owners, all seems to be satisfied =) Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)

Hello. I'd say its a fine beginner friendly bike. It's not too powerful or boring. =) Thanks for watching

[@richrossberg7261]

Mine is a 2022 and I almost have 2000 miles on it without any problems. I use mine like it’s a scrambler on gravel back roads and it loves it! If that doesn’t break it I don’t know what would?

Oj oj besök på fina ställen ser jag! Kikat lite på dom där CFmoto.. Kul att det kommer ut nya hojjar som har ett lägre pris än dom väletablerade märkena! Dock sugen på att testa nya Yamaha MT.

[@Darkvisor]

Jo de är ju billigare så är ju ett bra alternativ. Hur de är och hur hållbara de är, får framtiden utvisa. Tror inte de säljer så bra i sverige dock. Jag har aldrig sett en CFMOTO hoj på vägarna... Tack för titten! (nya MT10 ser frän ut! för mycket dödsmaskin för min del dock =P)

[@CrazySpikesOfficial]

@@Darkvisor Dom är ju relativt nya ute i marknaden så det är väl klart att många väljer annat först :) Men jag hoppas dom fortsätter utveckla fler cyklar.

Nya å nya... funnits i sverige sen typ 2018 minst... men tror mer att folk är skrajja att skaffa dem pga att de är "kina hojar" @@CrazySpikesOfficial

[@burakhuseyinkunt8053]

Do you feel it jumps while doing on/off throttle? Or is it smooth? How's the throttle mapping?

[@Darkvisor]

If you twist it hard you will feel some power but it doesn’t feel jerky normally. Feels “normal”. The mapping is okey. You have the “VTEC-kick” at some RPM for some reason. But it wasn’t an issue. Just a bit strange and not normal compared to normal bikes. If u have more questions. Feel free to ask. Thanks for watching my video. Please subscribe to support me and my channel

[@burakhuseyinkunt8053]

@@Darkvisor Thanks for your answer! I own the 2022 Sport model and that "vtec" feeling is really strong and the throttle is really jerky. I had heard they fixed it on 2024 models so I was curious

[@Darkvisor]

this was the 2023 model... but not the sport model however... maybe you can re-map it but then again... that would cost you money. I used to have a Ducati Scrambler 800 which had a jerky throttle but I got used to it so never bothered me. Learn to love it or try to re-map it I guess =) Are you satisfied with your bike in general otherwise? It's nice to get some intel from actual owners, I only test rode this bike once...@@burakhuseyinkunt8053

[@user-vj8bd1zd3z]

Sorry if that was asked, but does it have TCS?

[@Darkvisor]

The 2022 model doesn't have it but the 2023 does. I tried to wheelie the bike in this video but couldn't due to the TC.. hehe I didnt show that part in the final video edit... Thanks for asking, I think I forgot that info in my video perhaps. Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)

[@garyk8285]

This bike remapped would be much better I reckon

[@Darkvisor]

It's not bad, just feels strange when the "Vtec" kicks in.... I've gotten comments now from owners who all say that they feel pleased with the bike =) Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)

[@temper44]

CFMoto is good at picking their suppliers. Designers from Italy, electronics from Germany and the engine from Japan.

[@FirstnameLastname-pe3ky]

I thought it's a KTM brand?

[@Darkvisor]

CFMoto and KTM are, of course, partners in a Chinese joint venture, and CFMoto has long been tasked with manufacturing engines for use in KTM's bikes, so this isn't a case of China ripping off a Western brand so much as a cooperative move by the two companies.@@FirstnameLastname-pe3ky

Engine from japan? Thought the engine was manufactured in China?

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

That’s a nice little compact bike for around town, as it would lack power for someone that only rides highway.

I don't understand how fast are highways where you live? 70HP not enough for you?
