CFMoto does not use ktm engines., CFMoto builds certain KTM engines for KTM., they also licensed that engine for some of the CFMoto lineup., CFMoto also has an engine manufacturing agreement with Kawasaki and wait for it… Yamaha too! The CLX 700 uses a stroked Kawasaki Versus 650 engine for instance… The IBEX 800 uses the Duke 790 engine., if CFMoto is good enough to produce engines and bikes for KTM, Kawasaki and Yamaha then I think the quality is a non issue. You could do with a little deeper research before running off at the mouth., again.

I bought a CF Moto just to experiment and see what it was about because it was so cheap. A 650nk to be exact and it’s actually pretty hardy to be honest. I keep trying to dog it and break it and it’s holding up like a Honda. And I’m not kidding. I’ve literally been TRYING to blow it up (which is why I bought it).

is like that just because of proteccionism, sorry if misspell not native speaker, in my country Costa Rica chinese bikes are totally utilitary, just to get from A to B, and are a cheap way to enter, but almost allways a total loss, when the rider has enough saved to jump to a better bike, the chinesse bike lost all its value, so you are again at square 1, but with a japenesse bike you can sell it, regain some cash and upgrade, and the second owner can do the same, usually the third owner is the last, after like 10 or 15 years, bought ultra cheap and rode to death, in china their bike sale more, because they sabottage the competition, just like the USA did to japanese bikes, seeing a pattern yet?

I understand your point, but i make you ONLY one question? How all motorcycles companies start? I get you the answer as well, trial and error, most of them get almost closed, no brand started already with amazing longevity, excelent performances, dealers all the corners, clients in the whole world. So let give this guys a try. They have a excelent starting point, years of experience from another brands, new materials . I can imagine 40 years ago the reseable value of the big brands. I bought recently a CFMOTO and I not regret at all. Bosch electronic, no need to talk about their experience on chat market, Brembo brakes again no need to talk, KYB shocks, Versys frame, ktm engine. Dont make your subscribers a brand buyer.

Saying CFMoto is new to the market is misleading. They have been popular all over Asia for many years. Also, saying they are just rehashing ideas, name one new innovation from other brands in recent years. All that's happening right now is a push for automatic and automatic adjacent bikes, that's it.

The Chinese are really good at scaling production and bringing down the price. 10 years ago nobody would have believed that the Chinese will be ahead of the west in cellular technology. They are. Their electrical vehicles are cheapper and better than anything made in the west. This is just the typical coping when a new player enters the market.

There is a forum out there called China Riders I highly recommend them. I haven't pulled the trigger on a China bike yet but I've been thinking about it. The engines are old designs based on Honda CG series engines and it would seem you can swap out some of the more critical parts with Honda parts. In your case I recommend grabbing some Honda sprocket studs for your boys rear sprocket some failures of the Chinese studs have been reported most likely due to improper heat treatment the place I mentioned earlier should have a precise parts number for getting a hold of some. Have a good one man.

Not disputing anything being said in this video but what if Chinese bikes are your only option? In my country, I have a choice of locally-built Honda, Suzuki or Yamaha bikes (ranging from 70cc to 150cc). Chinese bikes are the ONLY option open to us when it comes to anything over 150cc. Want a cruiser? Want a dirt bike? Want an adventure bike? Want a tourer? Want anything other than a low-powered POS? Chinese imports are the only option. I understand that Chinese bikes may be considered garbage in the US or European markets but for a big chunk of the world, these Chinese bikes are our ONLY options. The world is a MUCH bigger place then the North American and European continents.

I also think this channel is a bit snobby about brands - kind of like how Car & Driver is very partial to European car makers. If you live and breathe high quality motorcycles, anything "average" might start to look too bland. I think China is not a market where they can take the risk of producing something as finicky as a Ducati - and if someone is that rich and snooty in China (or India), they'll just import the fancy stuff from abroad just to flex on everyone around them. People might be using their bikes much more gently, service and parts might just be cheaper and more accessible, and constraints like parking space or fuel economy would make bikes like this exactly what markets like Asia, Africa, and even parts of Europe (if their standards are met) need.

It’s contradictory because his paycheck comes from clicks and engagement. He knows full well he’s setting himself up to say “I was wrong about cfmoto” in a future video. That said, I bought the 450NK myself because it truly does look awesome and has been said to be a pretty reliable platform. It’s been incredibly fun thus far and when it’s said and done I’ll be able to say I’ve had just as much fun as the dude running around on a Craigslist Gixxer but I was also the sole owner and know the entire maintenance history and how it was treated. I do live 40 minutes from a CFMoto dealer so maybe it made more sense for me, but they definitely have nothing but an upward trajectory in the market right now especially with their brand partnerships.

@@teej1987 The 790 engine was developed 100% by KTM and up until 2022 built in Austria. CF Moto is only manufacturing it since KTM moved the production to china in 2023. It's not their engine. Additionally the 790 that CF Moto uses in their own bikes is not the same that KTM uses. The new Euro 5 790 Engine KTM uses in their 2023+ models is derived from the 890 which itself was a derivation of the Euro 4 790. The Euro 5 790 that CF Moto is using is the old Euro 4 790 that they had to modify to pass Euro 5 themselves and since their R&D is not as good as KTM's it has less torque (8 Nm) than the KTM engine which has the same spec as its Euro 4 version.

There is a reason why Chinese-made motorcycles are of poor quality. The Chinese government's negative attitude even suppresses the development of motorcycles. If capitalists can't make money in the motorcycle field, no one will think about making good products seriously. But with the improvement of China's overall manufacturing level and the government's industrial support in recent years, I have seen more and more competitive motorcycle products appear. This acceleration is continuing. You don't have to be sarcastic about Chinese-made products here. The development of everything has certain objective laws. Just like decades ago, people laughed at Japanese cars as garbage, but now everyone has changed their original attitude. No matter how anti-China a person is, he still can't stop wanting to buy DJI products. More high-quality Chinese motorcycle products will emerge in ten years. We can wait and see.

Of the chinese companies out there, I would only buy from CF Moto. No one's making motorcycles that look like CF Moto's Papio XO-1 (aka Papio Racer, aka Papio SS) and the new "VOOM" 500SR. Sure, it's inspired by the 90s CBR400rr, but nobody else does it right now, which makes them unique in this generation. Also, their 450cc engine is so freaking good, every type of bike they made with it is reviewing well; be it sports bike SR, naked NK, cruiser CL-C, and the adventure model MT.

I ride, i do mechanics, my friends trust me to fix things in their bikes, Chinese bikes have all sorts of troubles, bad weldings, rust after a few months, bad electric conections, lose screws, the known "chinesium" metal parts that break quite easely, parts falling during long trips. many many times people going to ride in groups and their chinese bikes having to call the tow truck. Chinese bikes are cheap, but they are cheap for a reason. You want to buy a cheap bike? buy a used japonese bike, or something Made in India, those are much better than anything build by the chinese.

When you talked about useless feature cramming, it reminds me of my $1600 (new) Chinese 150cc Scooter. It has the most obnoxious alarm system, a key fob that can start the engine, usb ports, a wheel lock, and a kickstart option. Sometimes the engine would get started by accident from a pocket, and there’s no automatic shutoff feature…but that’s ok. No one really wants to steal it anyway 😂 The only real advantage is that parts are super cheap since all the Chinese scooters cloned the same engine.

I think people need to try out motorcycles and see for themselves. I do think you bring some valid points to the table. However it is how a bike feels that dhould be the deciding factor (of course no one should buy a bike that feels great but will only last 1000 miles before breaking). I bought a CFMoto 450NK because of all the bikes that I tested (chinese, japanese and european) its the one I liked the most. This is the most important thing when you choose a bike. And yeah, so far 4500 km (2800 miles) and absolutely loving it!

Here in Argentina this bikes are really popular, because is what we can afford. They're not high quality but run well and doesn't have major problems. A guy that can't afford a BMW buys a Benelli TRK 500 that costs 8k used, and, for example, a BMW f800 can costs like 15k. I have a Benelli TNT300 with 14k km and not a single problem. Now i'm selling it and buying a Royal Enfield 650. Probably the GT model. This bikes probably doesn't have any sense in the us, but here is what we have to ride. Resale value still high because of this. A ninja 400 brand new costs like 10 grand here.

@@CharlesR.SteinruckIII some people have complained that the adjustment design is flawed for the 450 SS/SR. Too loose and the bracket itself comes off. Too tight, and well, it becomes too tight. Between all that, there’s that perfect tension, but the adjustment is sensitive. And that’s not including lining up the tire straight either, which can make it somewhat more difficult because you also have to adjust the nuts on both sides of the wheel evenly while simultaneously trying to find that perfect tension on both bolts as well. However, everyone has a preference and their own methods to doing things. Some easier than others. I believe Aboto Moto (motorcycle enthusiast) also complained of the same issue and hasn’t made any content on the bike ever since. But he can be pretty judgmental at times.
@CharlesR.SteinruckIII
@CharlesR.SteinruckIII Ай бұрын
@@0.Kiano.0 The only flaw in the design is it relies on a competent person using it. The some people complaining have done one of two things. Failed to tighten the jam nut against the adjuster nut using two wrenches to either tighten or loosen the jam nut. Not using two wrenches puts torque on the adjuster bolt and its attachment point inside the swingarm. Or not doing what I explained above and lost the jam nut because it vibrated off, then the adjuster nut vibrated off, and the black swingarm end piece that the adjuster bolt runs through fell off, or lost jam nut and wrenched the adjuster nut against the plastic end so tight so they think they will not lose that nut and break the plastic end. The black end piece in the swing arm has to be like that for replacement access. If you ever strip, bend, or break the adjuster bolt you need access to slide a new one in there. Not tightening the jam nut properly is the only way anything can work its way loose. I have had 19 new bikes and a bunch of used to flip and sell on bikes in my 68 years. The design like on the 450SS pulls the axle back with a bolt attached to the axle and the other is a cam that put pressure on the axle to move it. I would say of the total bikes I have had 95% of the adjusters were like the 450SS. People have come to me over the years saying I broke my adjuster, or it fell off with excuses and not being truthful and blaming it on design. One it is wrenching on the adjuster but forgot to loosen the axle first. Another is forgetting to tighten the axle then under acceleration/torque snapping the sprocket side adjuster or what it is attached to, or under braking /torque snapping the rotor side adjuster. Like I said the design is not the problem. There is nothing to lose ,wear out, or break on the chain adjuster design on the 450SS as long as the people using it fallow the proper sequence. I know the owner's manual does not provide the proper steps so some people without knowledge of certain things could result in lost or broken parts. Sorry it was so long but to get the designs point across and how it supposed to work needed to be addressed.

Dude, if a Chinese manufacturer wants to succeed in Europe and American continent they have to deliver quality at the same level as US/Europe/Japanese manufacturers do. As look at CFmoto.. they produce their own bike as they also produce engine and other stuff to other well known motorcycles companies. You can bashing the Chinese manufacturers as much as you want, but in the future you will eat your own words you just put up in this video. In cars and motorcycles the Chinese are rapidly catching up with the other manufacturers as they know what the customer wants. If a product is designed to be delivered in western world they produce it to our standard. Is easy to see, if you had live a bit in asia you can see that they produce goods for different marked with different qualities and prices point. I have followed your channel for a while, but lately I think you are barking up the wrong tree. I think Chinese manufacturers like CF moto would only be stronger in the future and deliver quality products as other manufacturers.

Is it cheaper because it is cheap, or because it has no sentimental/ cultural value, thus no extra brand value? Also, if they use the motors that they sell to others, then by default they should be cheaper to them. Regarding the stealing of intellectual rights, you should be more than certain that if such a matter existed, big companies would win curt fights, at least in Europe, Canada and the the USA and they wouldn't be sold. Let alone how some of the big European companies build their fame by stealing other companies and just offering better a better build quality since they didn't spend on research. Still, I have no "historical records" on what areas you should trust a Chinese bike and where/ when it will fail you. Eg. Italian bikes do not age well, German ones will get needier as they get old and Japanese will last forever but it will not be the best deal at any current time you buy them.

My buddy bought a CFMoto 700 and is generally happy with it although he already wants something with more power. He's owned it less than a year & doesn't have many miles on it so I can't comment on longevity however he did have a cruise control issue that would kick his bike into limp mode and it turned out to be a fairly common failure. I've rode it a few times and it doesn't inspire any real thrill but feels fine. I'd say having an ultra low mileage failure that would be dangerous on the freeway is a bad mark for reliability but overall it's much better than the complete knock off Chinese bikes I've played with in the past. That combined with the ethical dilemma of supporting China leaves me playing with Japanese bikes for now.

Take my downvote Yammie! You're scrapping the barrel for content. - CFMOTO is a company which builds their bikes at Tier 1 factories, they have been around since the 80's and have never have any bad rep about reliability. - Parts galore: Chinese parts are very very easy to find and cost almost nothing. I bought a replacement windshield for my 450MT for 8USD! and it was a genuine "CFMOTO-CRAFTED" part with a valid SKU! A windshield for a comparable BMW GS costs north of 300EUR, good luck justfying that with all the mental gymnastics I know you're capable of. - CFMOTO is again a brand that is competing is worlwide races. It is bound to become this year's Moto3 champion (both driver and constructor) and beating the likes of Honda, KTM and Husqvarna. - CFMOTO is also competing in Dakar. Makes you really wonder, if a company is poud enough of their brand image to compete at some of the most prestigious races, isn't is fair to assume they are legit and serious about their products? If you're into paying double the price for some overrated, lauded traditional japanese/european brands, then good for you! But your gatekeeping on Chinese bikes is insufferable.

My buddy had a 2018 American Lifan KPR 200 for his first bike and it’s not terrible but yet surprisingly decent for what it is. It he bought for $600 and flipped it for a profit for selling it for $2k. Now he’s got a 2005 R6

I've had a chinese 250 dirt bike for about a year, put 4000 miles on it so far, I use it for dual sporting. It has 6 speeds, a counter balanced engine, fully adjustable front and rear suspension for $2400. It runs great, no major problems so far. Is it top quality? No, but it seems like a great value for the money. The internet is full of sites selling replacement parts too.

Dude you put 2400 bucks worth of suspension on a bike that probably cost no more than 3k?

Been shopping for my first new bike and feel like I've watched a dozen of your videos praising CFMoto, and now this? Are you on your menstrual cycle or were they just paying you before? Either way I'm done watching your videos obviously can't trust your opinion when you 180° one week to the next.

Agreed I’m in the market for a new bike as well and when I saw the title and thumbnail I thought what the fuck? I was literally planning on a ninja until this channel showed me the 450ss

@@certainpointofview3860 Well I just had my 450SS delivered tonight. It's an amazing looking bike. For me I got a great deal on it as far as pricing in my state. Was also looing at the Ninja and what made me decide on the 450SS was the standard ABS and GPS tracking. Other than that I think they are extremely similar with Kawasaki having the advantage of a long history producing bikes.

i think chinese bikes might be that way but chinese bikes build to being sold in America will have standards they have to meet if they plan to grow here.

pretty much spot on ..i think that they are being more cynical ..deliberately undercutting established brands and spamming the market poss even selling at a loss in the short term ..like it or not all the people that have already purchased these bikes have not bought an established brand , so that will create market pressure on those manufacturers ..until you start hearing of them closing down due to insufficient sales . then the Chinese brands will basically put the prices up and try and monopolise the market ..its a ruthless business plan in my eyes ..

I just think about hyosung....they were around for a while. As far as other Chinese manufactures I hope you get a good one, cause parts will be harder to source and less quality - not that they can't, but that they don't.

In Singapore, we have CFMoto and Zontes that's from China. Was thinking of getting a CFMoto 400GT, but finalized on a Honda 2023 CB400X(CB500X) just because of the resale value if eventually I wanna sell it off.
