CHINESE NAKED BIKE? CF Moto NK 300 Test Ride

[@buzzmartin8607]

Hey guys another great video thanks for all the good information, buy it so we can see more test videos. I'm starting to fall in love with the CF Moto!

[@armchairbikerstv]

We are as well, I definitely might have to buy this!

[@kingbovee7349]

I'm looking to get my first bike and at first, i was dead set on the papio but my buddies all said that it would be worth it to get the 300 instead. The more i watch these videos, the more I think they're right. Where i'm located, the nearest motorcycle shop is in Savannah and the price difference is not enough to justify just getting the papio. Plus, they have a Ninja 400 and a Honda Hornet 600 so this would be a lot better for riding with them. So thank you!

[@da__winnervv9750]

I got one about a month or so ago and I’ve run 200 miles and it rides pretty solidy if you baby it you’ll get 90mpg if you run it hard it’ll pick up faster than my car 🤷🏻 it’s cheap on insurnace I recommend as a fun little bike handles great! (This is my first bike) hope this helps!

[@VinCode17]

what bike did you get?

[@BluuSkyz]

I had a 2014 cfmoto 650nk years ago and completely romped on it no issues mechanically past 13k. I did however have to deal with the headlight shorting out but that could have been all my mods. The newer ones look much more streamlined and the guys that I'm friends with at my dealer who aren't trying to sell me swear by them. But honestly the Japanese bikes usually sell much better. All up to you.

[@armchairbikerstv]

Great to hear about your bike! Unfortunately I think Chinese bikes will always have that stigma of being cheap, unreliable, etc....but CF Moto is doing a great job to try to change that. Our Papio is still going strong! Thanks for watching

[@DuckDoctor82]

I just got a 2022 650nk. Loving it so far other than the seat.

[@hapashby1561]

Hope it lasts for you.My dealer has some and starting to get a few more that are having electrical issues making them totally non usable. Especially the 300ss. Where I live CFMOTO is only a grand less than the big 4.A grand is a lot don't get me wrong but the buy once cry once motto rings true for the most part.For the price this is a good model to test out if it does bite the dust.Great review,thanks.

[@armchairbikerstv]

Interesting to hear about the electrical issues. We currently have a CF Moto Papio that we are doing a long term test on and so far we've been happy. Still considering getting one of these 300's because CF Moto is really the only Chinese stuff that comes close to the Japanese

[@Garcheezy]

one think that you didnt test is the "sport" mode. That changes de dials, the engine map and the ABS.

[@VinCode17]

Sport mode is garbage

[@BC123-co2zp]

have you found a oil filter off brand that fits? whats the brand and part number?

[@APracticingGamer]

I just bought that exact bike, getting it tuesday.

[@armchairbikerstv]

Awesome to hear! Congrats on the new bike

[@ramblinvanman6250]

Thinking about the CF Moto or Benelli 302, ride a Honda ADV150 now. Lots of Stewart shops in U'r videos - you around the Saratoga Springs area?

[@KF1]

Only just learned about CFMoto and this looks like a great first bike. Is there any option available for a small windscreen? Thanks for the fun video

[@davidreed9300]

I own the nk300. It’s a really good town bike, sweet spot being 55 mph. I can get on the highway with it, but it starts running out of revs at 65 to 70. Great gas mileage and the app gives you a LoJack of some type as well as other useful features. The one down side is the destination charge which my dealer hit me for a full grand. So go in knowing the msrp is 5000, not 4000.

[@armchairbikerstv]

Great to hear you’re enjoying it! I liked it on the test ride but didn’t end up getting it. We do currently have a CF Moto Papio that we’ve been having some fun with in our other videos. Thanks for watching!

[@whosyourdaddy5719]

i got a 2022 300 NK at dealer for 4500, everything included, out of door price

[@da__winnervv9750]

I got hit with like 2g fees it ended up as 6800

[@daniellandry9366]

What are your thoughts on the overall quality of the bike? Would you consider this a good option for a first bike?

[@armchairbikerstv]

My initial impressions were very good. We own a CF Moto Papio and we have been impressed so far with the quality, and this bike wasn't any different when I test rode it. We haven't owned a CF Moto long enough to comment on long term reliability, but so far so good! I would definitely consider this for a first bike as well. Thanks for watching!

[@aliosmcn]

What is the brand of the tire?

[@kTSWaynos]

i've just got my licence and was looing at them because they are cheap here when I was doing research on them I found they have bad reputation for quality here in Australia compared to the japanese made bikes. Bikes at my list were Z400 MT-03, 390 Duke, G310R. NK 300

[@velvetandchester]

Statistically speaking if you look at the volumn of bikes produced and the number friday bikes that come on the market, and yes I got a lemon at first, cfmoto produces far less issues percentage wise. Considering they are fast becoming the #1 seller in places like the Phillipines where bikes are are dominant form of transport you have to question who actually had the lemon bikes. I love the replacement bike , have done 1200klm(700miles approx) over a weekend and kept up with much bigger bikes. Kept steady high speeds in torrential conditions while remaining stable. A lot of complaints are teething issues or competition putting out misinfo or just flat out anti chinese hate. The only dramas were caused by the dealership not cfmoto. And I can't wait for the 450SR to hit the Australian market.

[@Ghryst]

yes, add another Chines bike to the fleet

[@daniellandry9366]

how is this bike comfort wise? I'm 6ft just curious!

[@armchairbikerstv]

I'm 5 foot 11 with a 32 inch inseam and I found the bike to be pretty comfortable. Didn't feel cramped, and the seating position is very upright with very little pressure on the wrists which is my personal preference. Thanks for watching!

[@mexdani86]

@@armchairbikerstv would it be ok for a bigger guy, im a little over 300 lb ?

[@armchairbikerstv]

@@mexdani86 My dad also rode the bike off camera and he's around 225 pounds. He thought the bike still felt good in terms of suspension and power. Like many people I think your best bet is to swing a leg over one at a dealer and see how it feels. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@rockyf405fortenberry8]

Did you ever reach 80mph or more on it and how happy was the engine at them speeds for say highway long term trip?

[@LucasDaRonco]

​​@@mexdani86 300 pounds is the max carry weight of the bike. You are going to break the suspension. If you are a big guy, get a big bike.

[@silvermototx]

Do you still have the 300NK? and if so....how are you liking it after having it for awhile?

[@armchairbikerstv]

Even though I was impressed on the test ride, I didn’t end up buying it.

[@MrWhitelightning73]

70 MPG ✅

[@chrisg9602]

I want one

[@akiradokkabei6428]

hmmm..interesting

[@rivercitymetaldetecting9854]

No, it will not beat a 390 Duke lol. Not even close. It can't match the displacement let alone the low end & midrange torque/hp the 390 makes. The CF makes around 17hp less. The 390 puts out more torque in the lower and midrange than the Z400 which is typical of singles. The Z400 shines higher on the rpm range. The MT03 is slower than a Duke as well. It has less power and weighs more. Power to weight ratios matter. Now this vs a Duke 250 would be interesting but good luck finding one. I believe the Duke 200 is only down 1hp from this CF Moto with the Duke 200 making 26hp and the CF making 27hp. At the same time the NK300 weighs 333lbs and the Duke 200 weighs 308.6. The Duke 200 might actually be quicker than this 300. The 390 would destroy this bike.

[@armchairbikerstv]

Completely agree with everything here. The Duke 200 is definitely a better bike to compare this one to. Thanks for watching!

[@rivercitymetaldetecting9854]

@@armchairbikerstv anytime man. Been riding for decades and have ridden everything from 2 stroke 125s & 500s on dirt to liter bikes, busas, and owned a H2. Be well man.

[@Garcheezy]

i´ve owned a duke 200 and a friend one of this CF moto. I can tell you that even if the HP numbers are kinda similar, the cf moto is waaaay faster. i couldnt keep up with him at all, specially past 100km/h (60mph). It is about as fast as a duke 250. The 390 is on another league

[@yoww1969]

Duke 200 is lot slower than cfmoto300

[@kitzmawniuh2640]

Look like Honda Hornet 2.0

[@davec8117]

I’m starting to wonder. Are these videos on CF MOTO “reviews” or, sales pitches? Sounds like a salesperson is riding the bike. And yes. The NK 300 crushes the KTM390. Not even close. The KtM has a top speed of like 60mph or some BS

[@armchairbikerstv]

Haha I’m not a sales person I was just excited to ride this bike that day, people generally underestimate CF Moto so I like to emphasize that they are a lot better than you’d think
