Un piñón de 15 y una reprogramación ❤?

Yes maybe that would help, but I think you should ride it for sometime before changing to that. Maybe it’s something you can get used to

prepare the script in advance man!

[@kimomoto]

Its not a review it’s my first impressions. The guy from the dealership informed me that he had a bike available for a test ride this day so I jumped on it. I had no time to prepare. It is what it is.

Thanks for the info. The ground clearance is supposed to be 20cm, how was the bike in the cross winds? Did it feel stable?

[@kimomoto]

Thank you! Well I naturally compare it to my Honda crf250. The 450 is much more stable in the wind. But the 450 feels more planted on the road. I guess because of the low centre of gravity and beefier tires.

The CF is absolutely stable at higher speeds, max speed is around 160 km/h but you're almost at the limiter. The ideal cruising speed on the motorway is around 120 km and the CF sits firmly on the road. Of course you can feel the crosswind but you can feel that on any adventure bike with an upright seating position. Positive: the buttery smooth gear, the seat, the display, the street light and above all the sound of the exhaust system. The rough throttle response at very low speeds may bother young, spoiled drivers. I've been riding motorcycles since the 80s and it doesn't bother me. My personal opinion: the CF isn't perfect but it has the perfect price/performance ratio. You get a lot of motorcycle with a long warranty for relatively little money. The workmanship is on the level of established competitors.
