I bought the 450NK, and I already have almost 7K kms since March. I ride it hard to redline. It performs well. I have had zero issues up to this point. CFMOTO is building a good bike, and the 450 engine has been done well.

You are slowly approaching an Adam Riemann level of quality with this video. Narration and editing were amazing, one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while.

Now thats a compliment. Thanks, means a lot.

[@EdieDHunter]

ABSOLUTELY AGREE. I just posted my comment minute ago and now I found I'm not alone😊. 🎉

[@since3846]

It was a short video and he had company, So it was very easy for the filming, editing and the rendering. Adam is a millionaire, he is shooting mainly allown(who can even follow him?????) he is using 2 or 3 drones and the best portable cinematography stuff. He's also paying prof studio for his FILMS. I am not sure about the sponsors of each of them. Narration from the other hand, is very good, and brings up something from inglourious basterds. Two final thoughts: 1)This guy is a hero or crazy. He made a roadtrip on that terrible seat... 2) Thanks to Chinese companies, we shall ride the motorcycles of our dreams.....

Dude you are funny! I rabbit holed this morning on the CFMoto and this was by far the most interesting, entertaining and real world informative content on this bike.

[@LukeHilby]

Thanks, my man.

[@davidmatthews3093]

Thank you. That was probably the most honest review that I have read. Thank you also for mentioning the gearing… Owner’s pages for the two bikes that I ride are always full of miracle cures, the main one being how changing the front sprocket by one tooth will revolutionise the bike on a fast A road or motorway. As, in my opinion, neither bike was built for that use I presume that they made a big mistake when choosing their new bike and the ‘advice’ they are giving will spoil the performance in the environments where those motorcycles belong, minor roads, hills, gravel tracks and occasionally challenging technical sections as well. I have already noticed that ‘alter the gearing’ has been a hot topic for MT450 owners as well. Good luck with the bike in the future, one of my motorcycles is Chinese, a Voge 300 Rally and it continues to impress me day after day.

Best review of the CF Moto 450MT so far - outstanding, balanced and based on a real world major adventure trip experience. No arguments, this bike is taking the world by storm literally and in every sense.

[@NKSSVlogs]

1:13 you're so spot on by addressing the most common stereotypical issue especially in my country where most of them even neglect the great products manufactured by the Chinese enterprises when they haven't even tested them even a bit! As per my view, every good thing has to be appreciated and accepted with an open heart if they aren't creating any issue to the users! Great review! 🙌❤️

[@malcolmtottle]

After a 27K trip from UK to Nigeria ending this March, I bought the KTM 790 Adventure knowing it was built by CF Moto. The rims were cheese on the 1190R (106,000 km) and plastic bags were used to seal the rims after two spanner workshops beat the rims back into shape. I learnt that the bike I took was too big but was carrying 45kg of spares fuel and water as well as camping gear and clothing. My 690R proved too uncomfortable on long trips but perfect on technical trails. The CF Moto 450 might have been the perfect bike on my last trip.Great video, covered most of what serious adventurers want to know.

[@LukeHilby]

Sounds like a great trip!

[@jomarceloco]

Pulled the trigger and order my 450mt. I've been trying so hard not to jump to ADVs yet since I recently purchased a supersports bike but I ended up not using that one much often. I hope my purchase of the 450mt would bring me to a lot of Adventures like you did.

[@heimdall4148]

It does not bring adventures, you can bring the bike on adventures. If you actually go outside with it.

[@javiff1]

I have a Panigale V2 and I’m considering the 450MT as a daily bike and to initiate in the off road world. How’s your experience? Would you recommend it?

[@jomarceloco]

@ I've got the zx6r, the difference is night and day between my 2 bikes. I really enjoyed the 450mt due to its torque, manueverability and weight. although seat height wise the 450mt just felt a bit taller than my zx6r. So if you're planning to use it for daily I'd say no since I still use my vespa sprint for my daily due to it's fuel efficiency. But for initiating your journey to the offroad world I'd be half hearted about it, If you want to go hard core like going to the mountains and stuff might as well get an enduro bike but if you like going to light trails and long travel then go for the 450mt. Maintenance wise the 450mt is relatively cheap to maintain compare to my zx6r and i'm pretty sure it would'nt cost that much compared to a ducati. Fuel efficiency I'm getting around 22-25kmp/L with the 450mt I guess it's a bit too much for a 450 but I've been riding it like an asshole everytime I use it. Overall the 450mt would be a great all arounder bike it would just really depend on your riding style.

Thank you for doing this video! Patiently waiting for the 450MT (Ibex450) arrival in the US..

[@UltralightMotorcycleCamping]

Great information that early adopters of the 450 Ibex appreciate. Kudos to CF Moto for doing their best to provide us with the lightweight off road oriented ADV bike with enough power to comfortably cruise on the highway. We've begged for this for decades and the big motorcycle cartel told us to buy their heavy and expensive 800-1300 cc ADV bikes, while they deliberately crippled their small ADV bikes.

[@inmiscare2198]

I probably watched most of the CF Moto 450 MT “good” materials that are out there on all platforms but I have to say that yours is from my point of view, close to the very best if not the best! Great professional content, God Speed Brother 👌

[@modamirmo]

this is the honest review I've seen/watch ever. Thanks for the report, Luke! most riders were definitely put on additional crash bar, lights, even change the stock tire before runs on a milestone.

[@cer7cer7]

Watching from the USA. Great video. Informative, concise, and no BS. Your methodology for constructing/ organizing your video content is enjoyable for the viewer. I know you said that this will likely be your last video on this machine; however, it would be interesting to see one that highlights a more dirt oriented/ enduro style (possibly some single track) riding. What I am especially curious about is the 'higher' fender performance and higher fender installation. It would be interesting to see a portion of the video where you (Luke) install the higher fender kit/ package. This way viewers could see what was involved and if it is something they may tackle on their own. Thank you for posting this video. I just subscribed and look forward to future content.

[@burnttoast9890]

How is this not biased ? CFmoto probably sponsored this whole thing

[@MotoSnax]

@@burnttoast9890 Well, read the video description. It is a press bike, he does not get sponsored, he does not get paid. He needs to pay CFMOTO for damages (though I think they won't do that because he is positive about the brand). He needs to return the bike after he had done his trip. If CFMOTO would like to do a sponsored trip I'd imagine they would use a channel with more than 5.64k subs for more immediate coverage. I did ride two CFMOTO bikes (450MT and 450CL-C) and I do like them, though I won't say they are better than the Japanese bikes, they are getting closer and closer to it. I do test rides as well on press bikes but I haven't done written reviews about CFMOTO as the importer over here has a bullsh*t deductible if you might crash (full motorcycle price if you crash it good enough). Otherwise I would already have done some (unpaid) written reviews. I rode them at dealerships with lower deductibles, but can't take them with me for longer periods.

[@burnttoast9890]

@@MotoSnax bro ,this channel has 2 properly edited videos ...... They are about the CFMOTO bike and nothing else , stop Gaslighting people , it's kinda too obvious

[@MotoSnax]

@@burnttoast9890 his other channel is Adventurist with 50k followers but in German. If I wanted to know the world about my bikes, I'd pay large channels. What is your take on CFMoto bikes? Almost 20 years ago it was junk. Not today. But still not as good as Japanese. And they weren't good either when they entered the market.

Therefore, i would expect a similar review for Kove800x ;)
