Damn brother, glad you're okay, that scared the crap out of me and I'm just watching on a screen! I have your exact bike and the SS version also, they're both really impressive for the money, and yeah, plenty of power for street riding. I hate to always be that guy but both of my bikes have a wobble coming from the rear end, especially the NK, I spun it on a stand and it's out of round and the transmission on the NK is a little sketch, my SS shifts like butter, I've checked all the usual stuff so it'll probably have to go back to the dealer. I'm still a fan of the bikes though! Enjoy your bike!!

Thank you for showing us the 450NK! I may enjoy having one someday here in Las Vegas. I'm usually more the off roading type and haven't handled too much power yet, so a 300NK would likely be plenty for me. I've commuted occasionally on my CSC TT250 (230cc) and my Xpro Templar X 250, which certainly isn't their forte despite taller gearing. I'm tempted to go electric for a street oriented motorcycle so I'll see what the options are if I ever get to that point.

Loved this video! NK 450 looks (and sounds) like a fun ride. I recently traded a Duke 390 in for a GSX 8S and love the new bike but know I'd be happier with something a little smaller. My main complaint with my 390 was it just wasn't very comfortable at highway speeds which doesn't sound like that's a problem with the NK. Next CFMoto demo in my area I'll have to try one of these. Says a lot if you can make riding through traffic like that look fun!

My previous bike was an MT09, the cp3 is an amazing engine but the suspension left much to be desired. I have been eyeing the 800NK and 450SS although I'm torn because I have always wanted a Street Triple. BTW the 800NK is actually 7lbs lighter than the Duke 790. I keep seeing people mentioning the 800NK being much heavier but that is because they are comparing wet weight vs. dry weight. The wet weight, sometimes referred to as curb weight of the Duke 790 is 417lbs and the 800NK is 410lbs.

@@TheCoolestCourier I had a 2017 and the suspension was not confidence inspiring when leaning in the twisties. The rear would wallow and was hard to hold a line with any imperfections in the road.

I would definitely go for an SP model if I got another MT09 but the Striple RS is pretty much an improvement all around.

It's a newer manufacturer that has really been making a name for themselves recently the last couple years. They're in all the major dealerships now. Look up some reviews of CF Moto bikes

What KTM engine is it based on? They don't have a parallel twin 450 in their lineup
@C.A.MARSUPIAL-ys6tlАй бұрын
@@TheCoolestCourier KTM were in the process of bringing out a five hundred twin when the companies merged and CF Moto took the engine for themselves. I own a Duke 390 and was waiting for KTM to release the twin 490 when the project was cancelled. At the KTM dealership yesterday the salesman told me why the KTM Duke 490 was cancelled. The engine was put in the CF Moto instead. KTM make great engines these days. That's why you think it's great 👍 google what happened to the Duke KTM 490 and it will probably tell you it was cancelled but the truth is CF Moto took the engine for themselves.👍
@TheCoolestCourierАй бұрын
Oh that's cool. That makes sense why it has so much character. It makes way more sense that it's KTM. I thought it would be a little unlikely that cf Moto could develop such a bang or engine after I felt their other engines and how not that great they are

Imagine being the person in that car watching the start of your crash from an outside POV with the end result of having you smack off their vehicle. Obviously it was worse for you being the one crashing. But I'd be wondering WTF was going on if I watched all that and had you bounce off my truck while I was sitting still. :)

I'm sure they were just confused. A lot of people don't even see the deer on first. Watch, a ton of people think I swerved when actually if you slow down the video he smacks my gas tank and right side of my handlebar and sends me into the other lane.
@Slane5834 ай бұрын
@@TheCoolestCourier That's what it looked like to me when I saw it. The sob body checked you and you ended up smacking that car. Besides stupid drivers deer are probably the no1 cause for accidents in my area since I'm in a heavily rural area. All kinds of wooded back roads and farms. Also depends on what time in the day they're moving the most. I've taken a back road at night from a friends house one summer on my way home and encountered five or six deer within a 2 or 3 miles distance. You have to drive with your high beams on all the way or you'll never see them coming. Luckily the roads I like to take the most the deer aren't as bad but they do show up on occasion. :)

@@TheCoolestCourier I bet. I'm as far north in New York as you can possibly go before you get into Canada. So seeing deer related accidents all year round is a common sight. Some people who live a lot closer to the mountains have the same problem with moose and they're far bigger animals. I'm more in the valley region, we supposedly have moose around here too but I never seen one in all my years of growing up. Bad drivers with no patience are still a bigger threat to bikers than deer are though.

Palomar Mountain is tighter than it looks on camera. I was fully looking through the corner and not at the sides of the road, also between the deer being the same color as the ground, it was laying on, the sun glare off my visor, and my vision not being the best. It was pretty likely that I wasn't going to see it unfortunately
