I'm actually quite impressed at the CFMoto X700 - that is a sharp looking motorcycle! I would definitely love to ride it! The Ol' Man Ronin Giveaway appeared at 13:37 in the video - thanks for sharing! 🏍

[@NWTMasterWolf]

Ok so I've had my CLX for a year now and have put some miles on it. Best bike I ever owned next to my Electra Glide ( 2 different styles I know, that's the point ) This 700 CLX is an amazing bike. I love it. Lots of power, Lots of function and it's just comfortable ( I am 6' 220lbs ) It's a phenomenal motorcycle for the price range and an amazing bike in general. Don't let the 700 fool you. She tries to lift the front tire on me all the time when I'm not even full throttle. I highly recommend this bike if you're after this style. No I am in no way affiliated with them I just love my toy. :D

[@thomasforster7777]

Will the bike prevent the front tire from lifting all the way? Also, does it have ASR and if so, can you turn it off? Lastly, can you turn off the rear ABS? Would greatly appreciate your reply!

[@JasonSmith-eq3rt]

Hi Ronin, Great review! I've had my 700 CL-X Heritage for 2 months (as of tomorrow). I'd like to mention your "butt getting numb" is subjective. Not all/I don't have the same issue.

[@mojomoto259]

designed by Kiska in Austria, same firm that designs KTM. Also Zanella Ceccato is the brand in Argentina.

[@NWTMasterWolf]

I grew up on Honda CB750s and the like after getting past the 250's lol. I bought a Benelli 302s to get my endorsement (finally :D ) and fell in love with it. I'm picking up my clx on friday and love the way it just takes me back. I love the modern/retro look and feel. FYI My first and primary bike is a Harley 03 100th anniversary FLHTC Electra Glide.

[@sunshowerpainting1]

My 700 Sport just turned 400 miles. I'm very happy with my purchase. Good bike, great price......

[@connerwest6951]

Same

[@jonathna11]

I found one for 4500 at a dealership 150 miles from me my local dealer has one for 6700 so would be worth the drive to go 4 hours one way. I'm looking to purchase one I'm 6,4 230 pounds

[@jessegardiner1814]

What a great looking thing - didn't know about them. Just bought a new Kawasaki to sit next to my Yamaha and Honda at home. Might have to do something alittle different next year 🤔

[@kittywampus]

I'm hoping that the affordable bikes will bring more people into cycling.

[@kbgt1523]

Definitely does because I’m buying a clx 700 sport soon and I’ve never owned a motorcycle. Just atvs

[@smithe68]

Do you think the Scrambler version of this is coming to the US? I looked at one of these last weekend and was really impressed with it. Looked like you could even cruise down a dirt/gravel road with this no problem. Thanks for the great review.

[@robertadams4415]

The closest thing I have to cruise control is a cramp buster

[@Ohio_Motonaut]

Love Granville! Looks like you had a great time on that bike minus the seat... Dura-coat at 13:27. 🍻

[@OlManRonin]

It is a fun bike

[@Beanerds]

5 year CFMoto rider ,, 650nk and its the best bike I have ever owned ,, bean riding over 40 years . I have since brought a RE 650 Interceptor in September 2021 ,, so time will tell .

[@OlManRonin]

Thats awesome Brian

[@martbau25]

Was thinking about getting a nk650 but was wondering if it's comfortable enough to do some light traveling with?

[@Beanerds]

@@martbau25 No problems , we go for long rides here in WA for 3-4 hours at a time with a few stops no problems .

[@MauriceTarantulas]

I have a Zontes 125 and its been brill. Try and get your Hands on the Zontes GK 350 when its out👍

[@johntaylor38]

hi old man , I enjoy all your videos and I love motorcycles I'm watching you at 10.58 in the UK.

[@OlManRonin]

Welcome John and thank you cheers

[@karlkratzer4928]

I love this motorcycle 🏍️ I just may buy one soon

[@CryptoGent]

I have this bike, 2 problems i noticed so far, vibration is a big problem, and the glutch its hard to find neutral you have to be very careful to get from 1 up or from 2 down

[@jreid641]

My local metric dealer picked CF Moto. I’d never heard of them. They look pretty good although I wish they’d picked up RE instead.

[@smithe68]

My local Triumph dealer picked them up recently and like you wish they had picked up RE instead. These bikes look good but the closest RE dealer is 300 miles away, and I want one.

[@jreid641]

@@smithe68 In my experience, you should get what you want even if it takes some effort. I bought two Royal Enfields over the past couple of years, one in Albuquerque, NM and one in Ft. Worth, TX. I had to travel and to trailer them both home, but I got what I wanted and I'm happy with my decisions.

[@smithe68]

@@jreid641 wise words. I’ll be heading towards the area the dealer is in the spring and will make a point of stopping in to check them out, I’m in no hurry.

[@markymarknj]

I like the transparent brake master cylinder, because you can tell your brake fluid's health at a quick glance.

[@OlManRonin]

I get that, but it still looks like a urine specimen bottle ;)

[@markymarknj]

@@OlManRonin good brake fluid has the same color-straw.

[@petescarperi3711]

Seen a few of these at my local dealership. Like to see their adventure bike when it arrives .

[@OlManRonin]

they have a 650 Adventura now

[@kristophertrout7328]

That seat is crying for an Air Hawk. 😎

[@CDLNEPA]

looks like a great area. I really wish my local dealership would let me demo some of their bikes. a couple jackasses ruined it for everyone. they are some great looking bikes and awesome prices

[@OlManRonin]

Establish a relationship with them

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Good bike. I prefer the XSR700.

[@stevenmoore3850]

How is the aftermarket support for these i dont care about accessories or look pretty parts i need replacement parts like brakes seals gaskets clutch packs things that make it ridable and reliable

[@richardorosso7377]

I read these were designed by Austrian design company "Kiska" also responsible for KTM and Husqvarna bikes, did'nt think USA had any design input with these.

[@OlManRonin]

truth on the design, but add Ducati in the mix.

[@ChristopherM-bt2qg]

Question on my Turn signal. I have a 2022 700 CL-X. Signal on when at a full stop it works normal. My problem…I’m riding along and going to make a turn . The turn signal turns off after 7 blinks Automatically. Weird. So I have to turn it back On. Any help appreciated.

[@ManuelRodriguez-71]

Hola, tengo mi CLX700 y te digo que llevan intermitentes auto cancelables, es normal lo que te pasa, va muy bien para que no se queden puestos en marcha. Saludos desde España

[@RonConsumer]

Here's my only issue at this time under this current political environment with Biden's new ban on products coming from China with the ban going into effect yesterday... there are more than likely going to be parts shortages... personally, I'd wait to see what the markets and the backlash that's going to come out of this.

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Well in the Uk on a Chinese bike had to get a few parts and wasnt a huge wait...few weeks. But for a second bike after my test...not sure. Prob go R Enf or Triumph.

[@RonConsumer]

@@MauriceTarantulas Probably won't be for those in the UK... they aren't in a sanctions war like the US is currently but with Pedo Joe trying to crash the US Economy by banning all China products coming out of the largest port in China... well, there are going definitely be shortages.

[@davidreed9300]

Cfmoto shares a facility with KTM, which is part owner of cfmoto, in Michigan ….I have nk300, first bike. It is a phenomenal in town bike @ 70 miles per gallon.

[@davidreed9300]

Sorry, Minnesota.

[@marioperez2443]

Well, even Harley have chinese parts. The electric chords are made in my country.

[@FerMuBe]

Sushi, in Ohio after that cloud? Hmmmmmm

[@Gsxrw-kz1ck]

The recall in this bike killed my buddy last summer in Sandy Utah so check the recalls they have one that's for the front brake if u pump it twice u lose brakes they sent out the recall in it a month after his death do not risk your life on a Chinese bike

[@user-gm4kv2my4u]

So should I swear off of japanese bikes because my KLR was leaking coolant after less than a hundred miles and the engine near caught on fire with me on it?

[@yasseralsaidi1168]

Old men love motorcycles and young women how come ?

[@cG-es8mb]

Wish all bikes came with cruise control. I willing to pay extra for it.

[@OlManRonin]

check the aftermarket

[@landonfolken03]

The 450 NK has GPS built in so you can track it, get ride logs as well as speed notifications. It will also notify you if the bike is moved. Usually that's a 2-300 aftermarket part you have to add. It's awesome to see them incorporating tech like this.

[@taraschicagoh1MARS]

Only me think about it looks like copy of Ducati monster

[@yasseralsaidi1168]

Sweet potato with marshmallows

[@stephenfricke9298]

Dont know about a Chinese motorcycle? Parts, possible War, and translation? Hesitate to buy a rice burner but bought 9 BMW'S, same war, different cause

[@OlManRonin]

Here's my rational. NEARLY every motorcycle, car, well everything has ties to China. CFMoto builds engines for numerous companies including KTM. So I guess if your wanting to be 100% US or UK made, you literally have to build it yourself. Think iPhone.

[@stephenfricke9298]

@@OlManRonin isn't that amazing. MADE IN CHINA. BOUGHT AN AMERICAN (Brand) wood stove, MADE IN CHINA

[@OlManRonin]

@@stephenfricke9298 I know right. Which is why I simply can't give that issue legs. We made our beds so the saying goes

[@stephenfricke9298]

@@OlManRonin yes sir. Amazing win the wars lose the BATTLES. Oh well. Ride safe. Get busy living or.... Great movie

[@justposi]

@@stephenfricke9298 I mean outsourcing is an extremely common thing nowadays , you pay less for shipping parts TO china , Assembling them and Shipping the product BACK and salaries for workers than if you had workers building it in the US. Its a normal thing , something being "Made in China" is not at all what it used to mean like 10-15 years ago. Now its more like "Assembled in China" Its all about cheap workforce , also "WAR" thing is just highly unlikely , 2 mega powers going into war with each other last thing on your mind would be your bike trust me. If that happens the entire world would be affected i nthe same way lol

[@mcplutt]

No china bike for me.

[@OlManRonin]

That's cool ride would you love brother

[@MauriceTarantulas]

I love my Chinese bike. But a second one? Hopefully will test a Zontes 350. (They are light + big tanks).

[@leekelvin00]

Which bike r u riding, it may very well be made up of some (plenty) of Chinese parts 😂

[@mcplutt]

@@leekelvin00 Not mine.
