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.
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. 😊
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
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!
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
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.
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 😅
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!
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! ❤
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 ✌
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 $500 a month payments
I'm not sure if I know what is true forward controls and how to check that, and in terms of financing, I believe yes, but every country/deallership will have their own terms and conditions. Well, if you can afford 500$ 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 👌
@@Jameeel Some Chinese onwers say the 450clc handle bar not straight, I thing that is what he saying?But i check a lot onwer review video, I cant see that
Hope its not an engine issue😭 had mine a week ago i enjoy the bike alot!! Hope you change your exhaust so i can hear that 270 crank crack!! love ur vids bro !!
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.
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.
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
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.
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 🙌
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!
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
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 🙄
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?
@@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
@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.
The key on the side is just a cruiser thing, it's traditional

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

@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 ✊️
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
Maybe it's my perfectionism in some things 😅
Thanks! I really like this bike and can not wait to for it to get to a dealer near me.
I definitely love the taking points and critiques! I still want it but I’m glad I know what to look for
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!
Very good critique. Thank you 👍
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
You actually just gave me an idea to film a new video over the weekend, thanks a lot 🙏
@@Jameeel also i wish australia got the silver version haha
Vlasnik ovdje pitaj 24. 2000 km
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
No doubts, but every bike has it's own negatives, this one is not an exception ;)
PS. Also happy with mine
Finally a really useful video! Thanks!

very nice, very informative, and straight to the point.
Great quality vid from first seconds 👍
That's why you need a crash bar if you worry to brake the key if u fall😊 im happy with myCL -C

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

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

Have you ever experienced the engine going off when on low rpm? Whats the cause if yes
@jaleehlavilla5497 Yes, I did, mainly on uphills, no idea why, but I got used to it and now try to avoid it with slightly more pressure on throttle
Hope its not an engine issue😭 had mine a week ago i enjoy the bike alot!! Hope you change your exhaust so i can hear that 270 crank crack!! love ur vids bro !!

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..
oh, that's bad, I'm lucky then so far no issues 🙄
What gloves are they, they look good
gloves look good, but I would not recommend exactly the one on the video as it is the cheap motorcycle gloves from aliexpress
thank you for this
Great video bro, so usefull and real, I have never seen that color on the tank, is that the 2025 model?
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
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!
Thanks a lot 🙏 I'm 180cm (5'9) and it's super comfortable
@Jameeel looking forward to test ride it, I'm 184. Definitely top of my shopping list atm.
How is the comfort of your OBR?
OBR?

Забыл и сюда лайк поставить, ну и подписочка. Может быть тоже когда нибудь стану владельцем CF Moto
I am agree with that key position that not in good place
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!
Hmm l have a black one, 2024 model and it came with pre installed tbox. Bought in Croatia
Oh, lucky you! I wish mine had one, because it costs around 300 euros or so ;(
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. 🤣
@@gulamelaka77 🤣
Good thing for the owner if someone tries to steal it though. 😂
@@kris25A 😅
That brake cylinder is awful, a nice square one would improve the looks.

@Jameeel Понятно, ещё раз спасибо за обзор, планирую купить такой аппарат весной.
Safe riding!
The key location is the biggest and obvious fault of construction!
Cruisers always traditionally have keys there
@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.
oil? what¡
@@SuzukiRiderlv426 yes, break oil
@Jameeel tell me you don't know about motorcycles without telling me
@@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 🤷🏻♂️
@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
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.
Wait for the video about positives it should be ready this week, there are some good points that may change your mind ✌
