I have owned a lot of cruisers. This one looks pretty good to me. The forward controls aren't too far forward, it has nice lines and the belt drive is a bonus. A 650 version would be even better.
@@jimbarrett8349 Oh yes, a 800 engine would be good as long as it doesn't mean that it will be overly heavy, it's a nice weight at the moment, easy to move around
This might be exactly the perfect bike for my wife. She’s wanting to ride and my Vstrom is a wee bit tall given her vertically challenged state of 1.6m. I’ll definitely be watching for when these hit the US market
@@thedragon1322 excellent news that your wife is wanting to ride, be great to have another lady biker 🤩 sounds like the CL-C could be the perfect bike for your wife, keep me posted as I’d love to hear how your wife’s journey into biking is going 😎
@BikerKazZ it'll probably be next spring honestly but she keeps asking more and more questions which is a great thing in my book. I was looking at the Rebel 500 when I realized this was coming to the US and for the price and equipment, it's really hard to beat the CFMoto.
Thanks Kaz, A little thought or two. As it has belt drive it doesn't need a centre stand so win win... The bike looks nice with the silver and red tank but I wonder if it would look nicer if the exhaust heat shield was painted silver and the silencer was alloy coloured. I think the speedo needs a little sun visor/peak as a screen might take away from the whole vibe of the bike. A few folk mentioned that they would prefer a 650cc version. That would be cool but please check out the CLC700 Heritage model. Not a belt drive but might be the one for some of you. Cheers All, Rab
Hey Rab, You could be right on the changes to the colour of the heat shield and silencer, little changes make can make a big difference to the look of a bike! I would like to see a 650cc version too, I would never say no to a bit more power 😜 Kaz
@@manuelabreu8764 it is a really nice bike, I was very impressed 😎 the foot pegs are forward but I thought it was quite comfortable to ride, definitely worth a test ride to see what you think 🤔 keep me posted as I’d be interested to hear what you think
Thank you, I appreciate you saying that 😊 It is foot forward riding position so I would have thought you'd be okay, see if you can get a test ride and see how you get on
Very informative video. Its a very nice bike, I am looking forward for a test ride in Düsseldorf, I am 1.95, so I want check if its comfortable for me. Too bad German riders follow the cars instead of riding, between the lanes, like in Greece. 😂
Excellent, keep me posted on how you get on with your test ride, I’d be interested to hear what you think too 🤔 Yes, being able to filter is so much better than sitting in the traffic especially on a hot day!

@@kentoxymoron6857 I would certainly suggest you go for a test ride, I would have thought you’d be okay as it is foot forward riding position. Keep me posted as I’d be interested to hear how you get on 😎
@@kentoxymoron6857 31". I have a long torso. 😁 You will fit on it perfectly though man. You'll probably will sit more in a 90° angle with your legs than I do but it will still more comfortable compared to sitting on a naked bike. 😊
Is that motorcycle got cruise control and what is the 0-100 kmh time or 0-60 for you madam. Its a quite lovely review nice and clean thanks for that. Congrats from Türkiye.
@@muammerbeytekin6446 thank you for your kind comment about my review, I appreciate that ☺️ I believe the 0-100 kph time is 5.8seconds but you may want to check that with CF Moto 😎
The big Japanese manufacturers must be having sleepless nights, this bike is gorgeous. And what an amazing price!
Yes I think you are right Alan, they are making some very nice bikes, nicely made and great to ride
But is it reliable like the Honda brand?
Thank you for a proper review rather than an advertisement. I really do appreciate it.
@@michaelrads1365 ahh thank you Michael, I really appreciate you saying that ☺️
I have owned a lot of cruisers. This one looks pretty good to me. The forward controls aren't too far forward, it has nice lines and the belt drive is a bonus. A 650 version would be even better.
I was really impressed with the bike, very comfortable and smooth to ride, a 650 version would be great too
Or a 800, especially as they've recently released the cf moto 800mt and seem to use their engines in a number of variants.
@@jimbarrett8349 Oh yes, a 800 engine would be good as long as it doesn't mean that it will be overly heavy, it's a nice weight at the moment, easy to move around
Yes, I'm currently commuting on my Z900 and would switch to a 800 CLC if they ever make one.
Greetings from Austria.
You're doing great, thanks for the review 😊
@@m_o_x_ ahh thank you, I really appreciate you saying that ☺️
Belt drive is a bonus for me. As is valve checks at about 24k miles when I was looking at the service manual.
Yes it’s good to check out these things, all the details matter too
Great effort from cf moto. Belt drive, why on earth do more bikes not have this? Great review 👍👍
Thank you Gee, I appreciate you saying that 😌
I am impressed with this bike, very nicely put together 😎
I wish Honda would do this.... chains on way too many bikes. Rebel line should be belts..
It's really nice and engine with exhaust sounds lovely.
I think so too Mark, very impressed with it 🏍️😎
Excelente presentación
@@fmousike4615 thank you 🙏 I appreciate you saying that
Thank you, very practical review, unlike the blokes!!! Screen scratched on a virtually new bike? Lord knows what it will be like in the future!
@@drdoolittle5724 ahh thank you, I really appreciate you saying that ☺️☺️☺️ scratches on screens easily happen I guess 🤷♀️
Good looking bike and looks to be a fun ride Kaz 👌🏼
I agree Phil, really nice bike and great value too 😎

Can you compare it with the QJ SRV 550 ST if you have any experience with?
@@kozbysov unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the qj , do you have a cf moto dealer near you where you may be able to get a test ride?

My bad😢
OK I'd like one! 😀👍
Excellent, I was really impressed with the bike 🏍️
The bober version is the one that looks more interesting for me. If controls are not forward, it will be in my garage in the next months

I have found the rear suspension on all cruisers to be far too harsh owing to the limited travel. What is this like?
@@ancienttractorbuoy I thought it was very comfy, rode the lumps and bumps well
Nice review! Quite the looker, this bike. Im 6ft, wonder if it will be a good fit?

In your opinion, would this be too small for a 6'1" rider with a 33" inseam?
@@kentoxymoron6857 I would certainly suggest you go for a test ride, I would have thought you’d be okay as it is foot forward riding position. Keep me posted as I’d be interested to hear how you get on 😎
I fit perfectly on it and I am 6ft. I doubt the 1 inch will make a huge difference.
@@InsaneLegenD756 that’s good to hear, thank you for sharing 👍👍👍

I know a lot of people have been comparing this bike to the rebel, but I was wondering how it would be against the Benelli 502c.
Hmm 🤔 that is an interesting point, I will see if I can get a ride on the 502c
cant wait for the bobber version next year
@@GrimReaper333666 that should be a cool looking bike hopefully 😎
Good review as always Kaz, not the sort of bike for me but maybe if I rode it I’d have a different opinion🤷🏻♂️🙂👍
