Watch this before buying CF Moto CL-C 450 (Owners review)

[@chrispekel5709]

The key on the side is just a cruiser thing, it's traditional

[@alandeanda]

In times where all motorcycle "influencers" are afraid to post any negative review, your video is priceless. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughs on this bike.

[@Sr.D]

6:35 this gap it's actually appealing for lots of people that like cruisers, just take look to custom cruiser bikes, it's designed that way searching this look

[@Jameeel]

Maybe it's my perfectionism in some things 😅

[@VargaGábor-q9k]

This one is the most usefull video about this bike among the several ones I have watched. Thanks for it!

[@kris25A]

Thanks for this! Been looking for things to watch out for before buying and this is the only video i can find so far. Your critiques are experience-based as an owner and i find most of your notes more of nitpicking. Which i can say, means this is a good buy. 😊

[@Jameeel]

@kris25A I have another video about positives. Just choose whatever positive or negative is for you and the way you are going to ride and go for it ✊️

[@ibewscott69]

Thanks! I really like this bike and can not wait to for it to get to a dealer near me.

[@Gathertogether-e5s]

It's still a super great bike even with all the imperfections you mentioned. I have one and I can't be happier with it lol

[@Jameeel]

No doubts, but every bike has it's own negatives, this one is not an exception ;) PS. Also happy with mine

[@xXJarvarXx]

Thanks for this, its hard to find videos of them being critical about the bike. Would like to hear what you love about it too but from an owner perspective

[@Jameeel]

You actually just gave me an idea to film a new video over the weekend, thanks a lot 🙏

[@xXJarvarXx]

@@Jameeel also i wish australia got the silver version haha

[@slavkopizerak8947]

Vlasnik ovdje pitaj 24. 2000 km

[@hectorshouse7348]

Very good critique. Thank you 👍

[@JayallenBurgoon]

I definitely love the taking points and critiques! I still want it but I’m glad I know what to look for

[@Jameeel]

It's a great bike for the price, and that was just an honest review of some negatives I noticed-which might not be an issue for many. Trust your gut and go for it. Safe rides!

[@shinababes]

That's personal preference, but I love how that Master cylinder looks. Always like that look instead of the ones you shown from Yamaha that looks like from a small displacement scooter. The key on the side? That's a Cruiser/Bobber thing. Tradition. The gauge display? I think you can't change it because CFMoto is going for that analog-ish feel you get from traditional cruisers.

[@GiulianoGreco]

Finally a really useful video! Thanks!

[@Arrem_reviews]

very nice, very informative, and straight to the point.

[@Oloved23]

Great quality vid from first seconds 👍

[@alexanderguerrero6063]

That's why you need a crash bar if you worry to brake the key if u fall😊 im happy with myCL -C

[@Jameeel]

I mean the point of the crash bar is to protect your legs from being crushed by the bike and protect the engine. Crashing your bike is not nice, but would have been nice to get up after and have the key not embeded into the lock 😅

[@bikerace1684]

Solution: 1. Documents problem. Buy a bag that has a key 2. Space on the seat. For tropical countries, it helps cools your groin 3. Open holes. Theres an after market 4. Oil level in the steering wheel is not for your engine. Its for your brake. 5. Smart phone holder. Aftermarket has one as well. Nice video. I like it so much. Maybe a subtitle can also be added for the main points. Cheers!

[@Jameeel]

1. Money 2. Interesting one 3. Money 4. Never said it was for engine 5. Money Thanks a lot, I'll add subtitles ✌

[@juanfraz]

Nice video man! Very neat to know the cons straight from a real owner and not just a reviewer. I am interested in this bike but was wondering about the seat comfort and the back suspesion feel (for both the rider and a passenger, if you had the chance to take one for a ride) Thanks and keep it up! ❤

[@Jameeel]

Thanks a lot 🙏 it is super comfortable for me (my height is 180/5.9) and not bad for a passenger as well. I'm actually currently editing positive things about this bike which will be published in a few days, so stay tuned, and hopefully you'll hear lot's of good reasons to get this bike ✌

[@juanfraz]

@ will do for sure! Already subscribed and eager to watch that one soon 🙂

[@firstinlastout]

Does this have true forward controls? Does CFMOTO have their own financing? I have bad credit, even though I make a very good fixed retirement income, I always get rejected when I apply for a $7,000 motorcycle. And these financing companies can make so much money off of me, because I can afford up to $500 a month payments

[@Jameeel]

I'm not sure if I know what is true forward controls and how to check that, and in terms of financing, I believe yes, but every country/deallership will have their own terms and conditions. Well, if you can afford 500$ per month then if you save them every month in just 10 months you can own this bike easily, or even earlier if you find a used one 👌

[@shmutalov]

Забыл и сюда лайк поставить, ну и подписочка. Может быть тоже когда нибудь стану владельцем CF Moto

[@sananlatifov3951]

Hər şeyi çox yerində qeyd eləmisən.👍👍

[@danmill8542]

Shock absorber at the back is not good, i bought mine for, not even a month the shock is already having an issue not strong enough..

[@Jameeel]

oh, that's bad, I'm lucky then so far no issues 🙄

[@airgunbubba2505]

seat gap = ball eater...no thanks! Really kind of shocked they took the CLX frame and did this to it...I own and ride the 700clx sport and it's an absolute gem of a bike.

[@paolomusella1006]

Owner here. For me the only real downside is the lack of a space for documents. No other complains at the moment, only personal taste about looking, I like all the things you mention as downside.

[@929cosmodude]

What gloves are they, they look good

[@Jameeel]

gloves look good, but I would not recommend exactly the one on the video as it is the cheap motorcycle gloves from aliexpress

[@gulamelaka77]

1:06 when i saw how long it took for it to start, my exact thoughts were - bad for running away from zombies = bad for running away from anything. 🤣

[@Jameeel]

@@gulamelaka77 🤣

[@kris25A]

Good thing for the owner if someone tries to steal it though. 😂

[@Jameeel]

@@kris25A 😅

[@handler00017]

I feel like you just tried make negative points when they aren't really negative points, like the bolts aren't covered dafuq, space on the seat, keys on the side which other cruiser bikes have, dafuq cringe

[@Jameeel]

I own this bike, there are things I love about it and things I don't which I decided to share with other people, by saying at the beginning of the video that "for some, it may not look like a negative", well you are one of the "some", but if you read comments there enough people to agree with me, so your feeling is wrong 🙄

[@KimiAzharCold]

I am agree with that key position that not in good place

[@umarques]

thank for sharing mate, I've been looking for some genuine tradeoffs review. I agree with you on your remarks there, the allan key to get the seat off is retard. also the lagging odometer loading ew... we just want to turn the key and go! I decided not to buy this bike given I can get the Honda Rebel for $1k more.

[@Jameeel]

Glad it was useful, I just saw your comment on the positive video of this bike, so just consider what is really a con for you and if the pro's can outweigh some of them 🙌

[@alilmeza]

Great video bro, so usefull and real, I have never seen that color on the tank, is that the 2025 model?

[@Jameeel]

Thanks a lot 🙏 that's 2024 model, but I believe they added this color after releasing the bike itself because when I was doing research about it I've seen only black and half red all over youtube and on their website

[@sapte62]

Nice to see a review from a owner! How tall are you and how comfy you find the bike? As we say here, asfalt uscat!

[@Jameeel]

Thanks a lot 🙏 I'm 180cm (5'9) and it's super comfortable

[@sapte62]

@Jameeel looking forward to test ride it, I'm 184. Definitely top of my shopping list atm.

[@GangaBeats]

Hmm l have a black one, 2024 model and it came with pre installed tbox. Bought in Croatia

[@Jameeel]

Oh, lucky you! I wish mine had one, because it costs around 300 euros or so ;(

[@dee-ker5867]

thank you for this

[@bennymargalvez8659]

How is the comfort of your OBR?

[@Jameeel]

OBR?

[@That737Driver]

The not being able to use the MotoConnect thing to get sat nav on the screen really irritates me, it's advertised as a feature and I really could use it, but nope, won't work & CFMoto don't seem to care. Also, for some reason I turn on the high beams almost every time I go to use the clutch because the damn switch is positioned weirdly! Still a nice bike though!

[@captainonthebike209]

Спасибо, отличный обзор, коротко и все по делу. Один вопрос, а как ты контролируешь натяжение ремня? С цепью все понятно, а здесь как быть? Покупать специальный прибор?

[@Jameeel]

@@captainonthebike209 спасибо большое 🙏 если по инструкции то нужен измеритель специальный для измерения натяжения который бывает у дилеров, но в целом на форумах пишут что париться на счёт ремня особо не стоит так как он не настолько капризный как цепь, хотя лучше все же иногда проверять все ли зубцы на своём месте как написано в мануале на всякий случай

[@captainonthebike209]

@Jameeel Понятно, ещё раз спасибо за обзор, планирую купить такой аппарат весной. Safe riding!

[@artemdubinin3673]

The key location is the biggest and obvious fault of construction!

[@chrispekel5709]

Cruisers always traditionally have keys there

[@artemdubinin3673]

@chrispekel5709 This a very weak argument. A few years ago all cruisers traditionally used to have the carburetors, chains, tubed tires and analog dashboards. Traditional is not archaic.

[@SuzukiRiderlv426]

oil? what¡

[@Jameeel]

@@SuzukiRiderlv426 yes, break oil

[@SuzukiRiderlv426]

@Jameeel tell me you don't know about motorcycles without telling me

[@Jameeel]

@@SuzukiRiderlv426 let me tell you by telling you - I don't. Just know bare minimum to ride that thing from point A to point B 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SuzukiRiderlv426]

@Jameeel OK understandable, we all were at that point once, it isn't oil, it's a fluid composed of largely of glycol ether, anticorrosion agents, etc

[@azakisma.1.mo_ago]

The first few thing that's about the keys and delay in starting already put me off this bike. No for me, looking at a different bike.

[@Jameeel]

Wait for the video about positives it should be ready this week, there are some good points that may change your mind ✌
