[@topdeadcentermoto8319]

My advice to anybody that is hating on cfmoto, i suggest you ride one before drawing conclusions. I work at our local kawasaki and cfmoto dealer as parts and PDI, and while putting machines together i have never seen any issues no matter how minor, and the build quality is great. We sell more cfmoto side by sides and atvs than any other brand whether its new or trade in, and they dont go back to the shop for repairs or warranty any more than any of the other brands. In fact, i have never once seen a cfmoto motorcycle in the shop aside from coming in for services I've had my 800nk for the better part of this year, and i love it. I've never had any issues. As much as i love it, though, im probably going to trade it in for an ibex 450. I've discovered im a slow bike adv dad at heart 😂

[@spitescorner]

So many people write them off thinking that just because it's M.I.C. it's like the cheap crap they get off amazon. It's a properly premium bike (in it's category anyway)

[@mattrobinson898]

I hesitated for so long before going to CFmoto and settled on the 800MT (Ibex), my biggest concern was the KTM designed engine. its the most comfortable bike i have ridden and have no regrets about the M.I.C. bike

[@joshsevens9611]

I'm also a professional motorcycle mechanic and I have seen A LOT of cFMoto failures in my career. Don't get me wrong I have nothing to gain here, I'd love to say go and get one but save your pennies and get a better bike.

[@ADingoTookMyDasco]

At $9,990 Aussie Dollars over here, the 800NK Sport is less than $600 more than a Ninja 500. And that's out the door with 12 months registration thrown in, not your crazy US pricing where there's a bunch of add on costs. Personally, I'd pony up the extra $1,500 Dollarydoos to get the Advanced model with the steering damper as standard. And that motor is brilliant. I test rode it earlier this year in its ADV configuration & it was a real Jekyll & Hyde engine. Compliant & docile at low revs, but twist the throttle & you'll unleash the monster lurking within. And, my god that intake howl was addictive. It's a motor that you could easily use as a weekday commuter through the narrowest of roads in inner city traffic, like we have here in Sydney, and unleash hell on twisty mountain roads on the weekend. It's a stark contrast to my Aprilia Shiver that just wants to rip your face off straight out of the driveway. And, if I wasn't looking to try out a V4 for a year or 2 I'd ditch the Shiver for the 800NK in an instant.

[@patwalker9890]

This is killing me! My new 800NK has been in the shop for 2 weeks waiting for two new tires as warranty replacements. Both front and rear were leaking. Dealership confirmed they were both defective. Can't wait to thrash on it again.

The fact that so many people are hating on CFMoto made me want to buy one all the more. A few months ago I bought the 700 clx Adventure, new, with 4 year warranty for £4999 here in UK. It's my winter rider and copes with the salt and crap on our roads very well. Every time I ride it puts a great big smile on my face and that is priceless if you ask me. I look forward to the updates on the 800NK.

I have a CFMoto 700 CLX with cruise control and I just tap the rear brake and disabled it, foot's right there anyway. Great review Spite, love when you do CFMoto stuff as the brand deserves a lot more respect and attention due to the value the brand brings and the quality of experience! I've ridden a fair number of bikes but I keep coming back to my CLX as it just feels good to ride! Hoping the 675NK ends up in my stable this upcoming year.

Tapping the rear brake to turn off cruise control isnt bad. I mean you can still hit the cruise control button as well.

[@Slane583]

That's how you'd shut cruise control off in a car anyway, tap the brake pedal. So like you, I see no issues with that in this bike.

[@laytontime]

@spitescorner Welcome the 800NK club! I recently purchased one from Maxim Honda Yamaha here in Allen, TX. I’ve been slowly upgrading mine with every OEM accessory available. I’ve also installed a de-cat pipe from Verex Tasmania. It’s slightly over $200 but worth it. I’ve also installed a Leo Vince LV One EVO pipe and with both combined, it almost sounds like a V-Twin. I do have an extra Leo Vince pipe, if you’re interested! The black/carbon fiber on the LV pipe matches the black color way on the 800 NK perfectly. Let me know if you’re interested, I’d be glad to help you out as far as the price is concerned!

[@alexmr1178]

Hey Spite, this is probably the first time I'm leaving a comment on a YT video in 10+ years. I just wanted to say that I own the Advanced version since April and it's an amazing bike. I'm a beginner and it was a bit scary in the first weeks because of the power, but now, 9 months later, I already have over 10.000 KM on it (6200 miles). I haven't had a single problem with it except for a dead battery that was replaced for free by the dealership (we get 5 years warranty in Europe which is insane). And you wanna know the best part? I paid 6000 dollars for it, brand new from the shop, 0 miles. There's not a single motorcycle on the used market at this price that can beat the NK. Amazing bike and very happy with it being my first bike ever, now I'm planning to buy a second CFMoto for touring the whole Europe with my girlfriend. Keep up the good work!

[@argeljosephgarcia]

I bought this bike mid-June in 2024..by mid-November I put 7500kms on it and it’s been nothing but perfect.. it’s the perfect commuter and if you want to have fun it’ll do just that. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy the bike! I look forward to more content, especially with this bike!

[@g0fum]

I have one of these and it's beautiful. Mine is a fun tool and my work horse as my missus has the car and I have the bike. I have a top box on mine for obvious reasons, and use it all year round in the UK and it holds up with expensive bikes in my opinion. Mine has done about 5000 miles since Feb this year and coming from a Triumph Explorer 1200 and I am very happy. You are right though it is a hooligan. When I commute it's versatile and smooth but when I twist my right hand omg does it let me know it wants to be ridden hard. I use the cruise control regularly and the roll off method I don't like as I have been trained to hold the throttle and switch off. This stops the engine braking and keeps you at the same speed and is more safer than the roll off method. Love your reviews and Love this bike. 😊

[@adamwhite6797]

My first, my bike is a 300nk and I love it. It's honestly great, other than being a 300cc I have no issues

[@livius16]

Super interesting 👍 I love honestly the shape of the exhaust over the 790 one. I think the biggest problem is the 790 exists. Dealers have some 2023 790 sitting for prices that will still come under this bikes price even after adding the tech package - so you end up about the same or under after adding the cruise control to the ktm and the steering dampener to the cf moto But - you have a ktm with better market value and 5 more hp (every bit counts) so 🤷‍♂️ (Not hypothesizing - bought a new 2023 790 earlier this year exactly because of that (with base price under the cf motos msrp. So out the door would have been the same)

I feel like i never use my brakes when riding in traffic, so the helmet brake light would probably help a lot with signaling the people behind me I'm slowing down! Will definitely consider getting one!

Ive owned my 800nk since march of 2024 and i never had to disable anything for it to be able to wheelie. But the bike itself has been truely amazing to ride and handles very well considering im only 135lb rider. Thats odd that it wont let you wheelie though.

Nope, I take the Yamaha any day over that. In fact I did. I’m on a 2023 Yamaha MT 10. I actually like the way the modern Yamaha look. But more importantly, I like the way they perform! In fact, I was so impressed I traded in my bought brand new 2021 Kawasaki Z900 RS Café for the MT 10 as soon as I did the demo day with it. That’s how good it is. I’m pretty sure this is gonna be my closer bike at 53 years old. I honestly can’t think of anything else that I would want. I’ve had it now for a year and a half, and it’s just freaking amazing. It puts a smile on my face just thinking about riding it. and at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters. After four decades of riding motorcycles, I finally found the one that is for me. And that’s a good thing because these type of bikes are going away. I’m glad I got to experience and own one.

[@r.j.bedore9884]

Edit: I misheard the video so this comment is mostly irrelevant, but I leave it here as a reminder of my shame and as a warning to others to double check what their brain thought their ears were telling them before posting.🤦‍♂️🤪 14:12 Spite, that isn't a bug, it's a feature. Nearly all cruise control systems cancel when you hit the clutch or brakes, but don't when you hit the gas. That is intentional, since it allows you to twist the throttle and pass a slower moving vehicle without having to reset the cruise control after you get passed them, you simply let go of the throttle and continue cruising. Plus, you usually only want to cancel the cruise control when you need to slow down for some reason, so having it cancel by twisting the throttle is counterintuitive.

[@rvmtchdstnct]

Cruise control for Harleys with revmax engines also does same as cfmoto

[@spitescorner]

I think we're misunderstanding each other. I'm talking about a roll forward to kill option, which means the throttle is closed and you roll it the wrong direction to turn cruise off. Not pull the throttle open.

[@r.j.bedore9884]

​@@spitescorner I apologize, you are 100% correct. I thought I heard you say you wanted it to cancel when you "roll-on throttle" but after listening again you said you want it to cancel when you "roll forward on the throttle." That makes a whole lot more sense, and I agree that would be a handy feature for engine braking into corners or coming up to exit ramps. Also, congratulations to you (and your wife) on the new bike. Hopefully it gives you both plenty of worry free miles and fond memories.

[@cubeover]

@@spitescorner well, what do you do after you open the throttle more, to overtake, if not "open it less" e.g. roll back? The second reason I would not want it behave like you asked, is that when you're going over bumps that throw you up the saddle while you're holding the throttle, it rolls back "by itself". The modern sensitivity may be quite precise so this can be quite annoying. Moreover, you are asking for a fourth way to disable it, having three other. I see a good intent and consideration by the manufacturer.

[@bryan-u4f]

Own a 800NK and a 450SR-S. Absolutely recommend. 450SR-S better than a Ninja 500 (which I also own). 800NK is a fantastic bike.

[@SamuelGomes-fs1zw]

I've seen people complaining about throttle jerkiness arround 4k rpm, have you been experiencing that? And any ideas of how to fix it?

[@BunToomo]

I managed to test ride the 800NK here in Taiwan. I was hyping it up so bad that when it comes to riding one, it was a huge letdown. Just to be clear, I'm viewing the 800NK through the lens of my XSR700 which only have 70HP. The 800NK's throttle response is just bad. It felt like there's a good 300~500ms delay between you twisting the throttle and anything happening. The gearbox sucks. Not sure if it's a problem specific to my bike or something, but going from 1st gear to 2nd gear took too much effort. and the biggest letdown: the bike doesnt pull harder than my XSR700. might be down to my excessive expectations, but i was assuming that going from 70HP to 100HP bike would be a significant upgrade. It's not. rode back home happy on my XSR700

I put yesterday a number plate on my machine. Still only a half km on the odo ;) Looks great in person, though I would have preferred the white one, but for only 6k Euros brand new, I couldn't resist. Only 1k above the 450 and that was a no-brainer. I like the seat, feels premium. Also, the head- and the backlight, the display and the tank opening looks like good quality. I found some great carbon looking like crash bars, who fit very well to the overall design. Do you have the urge to change the levers? If you install the CFmoto app, it sends you a message to your mobile, if someone moves or sits on your bike, if you're not close. Kinda neat feature, I didn't know I would need and like ;) I ordered on Ali a steering dampener, let's see, how that feels, but couldn't find a reasonable cheap quick-shifter. Can't wait for my first ride.

@NurmuhammadBaxtiyorov-o2l sounds easy, but in reality is not that simple. The Factory not always sells spare parts to civilians to avoid re selling. And u gotta pay extra taxes for that kind of thing in my country.

[@NurmuhammadBaxtiyorov-o2l]

@@alexprendido2023 on the Chinese site taobao there are 100% of parts for most CFmotos, they are sold by CFmoto itself and other sellers, for my 800nk I ordered plastic parts and some screws there, the main thing is that everything there is original and very cheap, yes you may have additional tax fees depending on the country but as in my case when there are no normal dealers of any brands in my country, and even if there was a dealer I would still order from China because dealers sell it several times more expensive, I have to order parts from China, It's good that in my country there is a tax only for goods over 1000usd, that i can get anything for bike without tax

[@ut90J]

My brother had a super cheap Chinese dual sport that was nowhere near the quality level of CFMOTO and he spent maybe a grand on it to get it used with 2k miles. He sold it at 10K miles with only the stator being worn out in the time he had it. The guy who bought it from him put another 15K miles on it and crashed it offroad, but even then it still was running, but insurance totaled it out. I get that some Chinese items are of poor quality, but not all. My CFMOTO 650 has been great so far. It's not the fastest or most fuel efficient, but I paid half of what the competition was charging.

[@TheTwinPost]

CF Moto is not available in our country so all my opinions are based on the review/ownership videos I've watched on YT, and 2 bikes I've really liked from them are the 800NK and 450MT. But as soon as i said that "these bikes seem exciting" - I was called a 'CF Moto Brand prmoter/Fake paid commenter' by so many random individuals on a different video.

[@chrisdadigger1018]

Are regular motorcycle shops going to service these? Or strictly cfmoto? That swing are looks long or very dirtbiky

[@babybilly1986]

Great vid! Thinking about grabbing one of these!!!!

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

The headlight area has the look. A bug hit a windshield look. 😂

[@CkWilD]

ive been having a shit time with dealership with some sensors being messed up gas always showing empty or showing the wrong gear the only problem i have with owning a CFMOTO is parts!!!! and upgrades are non excitant they give you a 2 year warrenty but take months to send out parts beware of this before purchasing like i did only have 3500 miles on the bike

[@Bloodred.Tac0]

The light is a good idea. A little too heavy for me. And I needs to be more pliable. Won’t fit some helmets. If it was like a silicone sticker with a center power source, I think it would be nicer.

[@Jacob99174]

Spite = King of Voice Fry 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@anxiousappliance]

Saw one at the dealer (the white version), and it is a stunning machine. Sadly, I have a road bike i really like. dang

[@trunktoyz]

Those taillights look premium. There's a seriously good value proposition with these bikes if the quality is there. Time will tell.

[@ohwell2790]

You do realize there are over 7 billion people on the planet. And CF Moto is an up and coming manufacturer. CF moto is the answer to the now very expensive Asian and European bikes. Glad you are happy with this bike and review.

[@karimali7602]

Waaaaaaiiiit... Is this why you (I think you) were at RideSmart/COTA on Sunday 12/1?

[@ThisStrawberryGuy]

I bought one 2 weeks ago nice bike, love it. 8k out the door

[@Ntmoffi]

I'm still thinking about getting the 450 nekked over the bigger bike.

[@davidlv]

I bought one, it's just a work horse. No problems, it's easy to ride. It really is a good motorcycle. Exhaust sounds really good and has no right to be that good.

[@Ntmoffi]

@davidlv good to hear. How many miles/kms have you done so far?

[@robertholland7558]

That or the Himalayan?

[@davidlv]

@@Ntmoffi I had about 3K miles on in 4 months, I traded up to my Aprilia Tuono 660 factory.

[@Ntmoffi]

​@@davidlv did you outgrow it or something?

[@christianjones4694]

Can anything be done about that pillion seat?

[@papap.8006]

I have been thinking of a Benelli 302s instead of a tnt 135. I just want to have something I can run to town on instead of the Tri Glide. The 302 sounds good. What do you think? I am 64 so I think it’s a better choice.

[@watb8689]

this bike doesn't have the ktm cheese cam issue. the engine design has slight difference at the cam

[@Chenzoman]

Nice review Spite! Im going to look at one. Question, what kind of bag do you have strapped to you?

[@spitescorner]

It's not a bag. It's a hard case for my camera gear.

[@LeviHeizer]

I want to see you ride it from Alaska to Argentina.

[@123edwardzpad]

Congratulations on 146K subscribers!

[@QuangHaiinh]

Jaw dropping beauty. I wished it was more colorful thought, more fit with the exotic styling.

[@SummitCoyote]

heck yeah gonna be a lot of fun. hopefully orange man doesn't screw up parts availability

[@TheBlueDogMan]

He won’t, China will buckle like they did before. I don’t like tariffs, but I also don’t like tariffs being put on our goods by other countries and expecting us to let them go Scott free.

[@SummitCoyote]

@TheBlueDogMan buckle how? they're committing the crime of *checks notes* creating affordable quality products people want to buy.

[@RatBike750]

If you are worried about CF Moto reliability, check out the ATV and SxS reviews. People love them. Wish I had one instead of my 790 Adventure.

[@The450Raven]

The comment sections on cfmoto’s are always wild. Proud owner of a 450nk, bought it in august and already have 4200 on it. Aside from the saggy throttle cable, absolutely perfect bike so far. I’ve been going back and forth to work with it every single day even when it’s been 10 degrees here in Indiana with absolutely zero issues. Only quirk was not riding it for two days when it was that brutally cold and the breaks were just a bit clunky because they were basically frozen and were covered in ice. It’s definitely down on power for someone who’s comfortable and knows what they’re doing, but it’s been extremely reliable, it’s always a head turner and everyone wants to know about them at every meet I’ve been to, and it absolutely kills me that you have to pay $8,000+ for a bike that has a TFT display even remotely comparable to the 450ss/nk displays, they’re in a league of their own with how nice they are. Absolutely love mine and passing it to the wife as her beginner bike this spring while I eye the 700cl-x or a street triple.

[@0Turbox]

They should make the 450 quality wise as good as the 800nk and I would have preferred it over my now 800. When I see pictures with seats who have wrinkles in it, and I also disliked the hump in the back. I would have paid a grand more if it looked like the 800 just with a smaller engine.

[@HardcoreSlot]

On the topic of cruise control. My 700 CLX won't cruise over 80. And when it said it 80 it does this weird little blips and power that's super annoying

[@joewaun894]

I wonder once people get into the computers that might change. When I was playing around with tunes I could change that in some vehicles

[@HardcoreSlot]

@joewaun894 that would be amazing. I don't want to go much more than 80 on cruise, but it's the speed limit and those little blips in power is dumb.

[@nickabrahall1412]

Whether it be a quad bike or road bike or adventure bike I never hear bad things about CFM

[@Toxicdemon2]

How can ppl hate this bike ??? It looks freeking cool. Is good build quality and it is HELLA FUN to ride

[@wildBill83]

Get them before the tariffs make it $20k

[@viperq]

I doubt it will be that pricey, but well over 10k soon.

[@leudwigvonshwartsenhelm3624]

Where do you even get a CF Moto? I have never seen them anywhere.....

[@TheBlueDogMan]

We have a couple of shops around me here in the DFW area.

[@nickolaslewis4416]

Just to to their website and search locations. There are more than you assume.

[@cosmic7234]

From an outside perspective, the hate on cfmoto feels like car enthusiasts hate on the veloster and Elantra n… Maybe it’s not the same but I think they just don’t like seeing cheap but fun rides when they started on some scooter or whatever.
