First Ride and Impressions of the CFMOTO Ibex 800 S

[@spitescorner]

CRIES IN KLR!!! I feel personally attacked

[@spitescorner]

No bells, no whistles, just a cinderblock on two wheels

[@fullmetalcorgi1350]

Dont feel attacked because Kawasaki became complacent

[@Ortisan_Official]

Hey you want a free 04 hornet you convinced me to get itnyears ago? I'll donate it to the channel.

[@spitescorner]

@@Ortisan_Official You mean me or Whitney?

[@Ortisan_Official]

@spitescorner You. Been commenting for a while trying to give you thisbike. I'm in east texas fairly close to y'all.

[@matthewshultz8762]

Whitney, I loved the voiceover at the beginning. It was professional while still maintaining your flair. Great elevator pitch. Keep up the good work!

[@Panza1965]

As a CFMoto owner, . . I LOVE this Brand !

[@beaulunawolf1198]

Me and my fiance both have them as well. They have been great machines. Only issue my fiance had was a clutch seal issue that was replaced under warranty. We went to Daytona bike week and rode the new Ibex and 450SS. These are both awesome!

[@triot2127]

Im keeping an open mind for CFMoto but i still have my reservations.

[@dw5523]

It looks like an angry parakeet, but I like it.

[@SummitCoyote]

As a CFMoto owner, I can tell they came to compete. And they must have done well after the first few bikes they released in the US because suddenly there were several more on the way. I am looking forward to the IBEX800 (both versions) and hoping the local dealer will get them soon.

[@collectivelogic]

I hope they keep the pressure on. Their hard bags look nice and sturdy too. Eager to know how they hold up.

[@DJPTEXAS]

Thanks Whitney !

[@RadicalLinguisticDescriptivism]

That was different and fun. Would be cool to see a follow up. For me the Tenere looks like a strong contender for the ADV/dual sport that you can ride to the trail, enjoy the trails, then ride home in relative comfort and it just does it all really well while not being too heavy or tech saturated or too expensive... or a KLR... I hope the Ibex delivers similar performance to the Tenere and some real competition in this market spot.

[@kawasakizfanboy1039]

Love the video. Hope to see more in this format

[@Lampislife]

Glad Roxie got a spot on the video. Shes one special pup.

[@Datblackman]

I'm on my second CF MOTO (300-650NK) and they haven't disappointed at all. There's something kinda nice about being able to fiddle around with a brand new bike without feeling like your gonna void the warranty by staring too hard. My dealer just got a fleet of 450sr's that I'm totally gonna rest ma cheeks on 😅. I really do want to size up an IBEX vs the 650 adventura to compare fit and finish and design changes other than the engine.

[@Magic_Toaster]

I really liked that part about the magical appliance

[@anthony66619]

Love your work Whit..! 🤘🏻

[@HardcoreSlot]

Did they have the 700CL-X Adventure there? It for sure is my next bike but I haven't seen it in the US yet.

[@netxzero3993]

We have it as the 800MT priced at $10,000 for a long time now. I dont doubt the engine’s quality but only the outside of the engine parts.

[@JasonWoodard]

Just bought the Ibex 800T… so far I like it but there are some strange throttle issues under 4K RPM. Otherwise I love how it looks and it’s comfortable. I just feel like it wants to buck me off when I engine break and it gets under 4k… it lurches.

[@skaman125]

Just kicking off a video with a Sarge quote? Hell yeah

[@trailblazeratv6306]

Gorgeous R9T you have there

[@chasingghost4499]

Cool video, as always!

[@AselevID]

I always love how everyone at some point ends up in the ADV world, even after bashing it. I just skipped all that and went from a cruiser as my first bike to the ADV world. No kids yet, but will be happening soon lol. I feel like it is the 2nd final form, before buying a Goldwing to fit your catheter in your bags.

[@abrahamelias95]

I guess I am not the only one then. I feel like coming into motorcycles cruisers were the asthetic of a "motorcycle" on my head, but after living with one and learning more about them the style of ADVs actually grew on me and they are just better and more complete bikes

[@John_Ridley]

I own a CFMoto 700CLX. Great bike, very fun, looks good. My only real complaint is that they won't sell me a service manual. I hate having a vehicle without a service manual.

[@GIGABACHI]

I want the 800MT Sport R that was shown at EICMA 2022 with the T(ourer) treatment.

[@izzydangerous6990]

Whitney took the ibex to Chipotle 6 years ago

[@haneymoto]

"Hot buttered lug nuts" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BadAssEngineering]

Is that the same as an 800MT but different name ?

[@Saucey65]

a MotoGP vlog would've been cool to see what manufacturers were out there. School's been beating me down this year but two years back MotoGP was the most fun I had and rode like 10 bikes that weekend.

[@spartanx169x]

The only time I have ever looked at a service manual on a bike was to see what the correct tire pressure should be and how much oil it takes. Everything(In design terms) on CFmoto bike is stolen from either the Japanese bikes or KTM. If you can work on a Japanese bike, you should be able to work on a CFMoto.

[@jakesmith2469]

LMFAO, love how you just roll off the cuff and don't worry about noises in the background. Will the car alarm of truth be a re-occuring segment?

[@the_E4_Mafia]

When it breaks down in the middle of Nebraska, who you gonna call to fix it?

[@jamiehalifax4954]

That should be part of your travel plan you made before you departed, amigo..

[@the_E4_Mafia]

@@jamiehalifax4954 I don’t have one, I’m asking the author of the video basically what the hell he’s gonna do when it breaks down? Does he have his skills to fix it himself? Most people do not. so don’t comment to me like I have one of these pieces of junk of Chinese crap.

[@gatlinguts]

Do I hear Descendents playing in the background?

[@Cj-xl3jv]

Using a KTM engine is fitting… since they so rarely run for very long

[@shannonkerr2313]

CFMoto is really showing us something here. This kinda feels almost like a direct T7 competitor. It kinda seems like they model one of their bikes after a big 4 bike then throw more tech on it for the 'value for money' argument.

[@viperq]

Bummer there is no video of the demo ride.

[@Whitney_Does]

Yeah it sucks cuz I lost a 30 minute vlog on it🥲. I had TWO go pros miraculously shit the bed that weekend.

[@fullmetalcorgi1350]

My first impression is that Toaster isnt here

[@Magic_Toaster]

my second impression is that the Spark wasn't there

[@YTisDumb]

Whitney, how much weed do you smoke? ✔: yes ✔:no

[@benn1181]

KLR isn't even reliable theres all these parts you're expected to change out

[@spartanx169x]

There is no way anybody can convince me that a CFMoto bike is of the same quality and reliability of a Japanese bike. But I will say, because they are so cheap in price, they are really going to put pressure on entry level bikes and the used bike market. a CFmoto 650 is just a little over $6K out the door. Thats dirt cheap. Ninja 650s and MT-07s used are generally around the $5K to $6K price point. Them and Royal Enfield are going to put a lot of pressure on used bikes as they become more and more available.

[@Whitney_Does]

It’s definitely a tall order of convincing to get people on board with not only a new manufacturer, but a Chinese one. But CFMOTO did not come here to fuck around. These will be serious contenders. Also the Chinese have been making motorcycle engines forever. Some major KTM models have em.

[@spartanx169x]
