Very positive video😊 , should be recieving mine in less than 10 days, my cost in Mexico $8400 usd. But it includes luggage racks, center stand, t-box, and motor protections. Adios amigo
That’s still a really good price for you got. That’s what I paid for my base model KLR 650. No add ons. I’ll be trading my KLR in as soon as they are available in the states.
Cool accessories; mine should be arriving (Lima) before the end of june; cost is 7460 USD with center stand and tall screen; no t-box (400 usd extra if I'm not mistaken). Saludos
Tienes suerte, 9.900$ en Costa Rica, sin ningún accesorio de protección aparte del modelo base. Aún así, la quiero. Y será mía.
Good luck! I know you will enjoy it!
nothing better than a man who is happy and excited about his motorcycle purchase ... wishing many thousands of happy miles to you
Thank you
What a joy this bike is - your summation was spot on, so many of us have been wishing and waiting for this bike for too long.
Yep, and it's so good a manufacturer has just done it. Like the cb500x could have been great with spoked wheels and slightly lighter but they didn't make it that way. And the new cb500x, the NX500, missed the exact same things the previous one missed. The larger front wheel was a step in the right direction and alloy wheels have gotten better but for a cheap Chinese bike to just make a twin that has the things missing from the 500x and it sells a thousand of them in Australia this year alone (so far). It's so good
Great quick review of a fantastic machine! Cheers & speak to you in the group chat!🤙
Much appreciated! I just finished editing up last weekend's video where I do some light offroading (and fail but still learn things and have fun). You might enjoy it too when it gets uploaded and released.
Great video man. It's refreshing to hear an unbiased review of this bike
I appreciate that!
thanks for the honest review. ride safe always
Thanks buddy, will do
Just did my first 150km on my MT 450. I love the mirrors, the sound of the bike (its grunty growl), the tubeless tyers, the screen, the clutch....
It is such a good bike so far. My throttles a bit twitchy but apparently it's an easy 2 min job to adjust the throttle cable at the lever, so I'll probably do that soon.
@@outie555 make a video about it too...the one i saw on net isnt the best
Ikr the engine sounds so good.
can you integrate your phone with the screen for navigation like the Royal Enfield Himalyan or are the Chinese not up with that technology yet?
Great review video… I am pretty convinced to buy this bike… in Europe, sale starts later. Can t wait to try it…. Even for my wife 💪
Hope you enjoy it!
I agree with everything you said. The bike is very stable on dirt roads even at high speeds.
Yep, sure is
Good stuff, you look comfortable on the dirt already.
Yes, thanks. I tried some slippery mud on a hill last Saturday at Gus Beutel lookout and that's made me a bit cautious but also wanting to learn more (just finished editing that video for upcoming release soon).
This is great news! Glad the MT450 turned out so good.
Turned out good? In 200km? Give it a decade.
@@lefterisbampaidis5446 enjoy the wait. We’ll let you know how it turned out lol
It is!
This is my favourite out of all the bikes I've owned, it feels so light even to just move around, mines going for first service and will be interesting to see the price. Done a lot of offroading on it and it just handles everything I throw at it. Cheers mate great vid.
Thanks bazz. I like your videos and your throttle one really helped me reduce the snatchyness.
@outie555 Thanks I'm glad it helped you, we can all learn from each other.
The color of the bike is amazing 🤩
It does stand out and is a really nice blue
Nice vid. My friend and I are waiting for our 450s in Poland. We want a lighter, smaller displacement ADV bike. In Europe and actually most places, you ride on roads. We always take the side roads, look for dirt as much as we can, still end up with 20% of dirt. This bike fits that mission perfectly. It seems that too many people take and evaluate this bike off road exclusively. At 195 kg, the bike is on heavy side for that mission. For me, my tuned up, 155kg Rally 300 is perfect bike .The new Himalayan 451 is out for me, single cylinder and it's confused and ugly. I have two Royals and like them a lot. Like u said, the features of the MT are phenomenal, maybe lower crash bars and go. I don't know how they can sell them at this low price. You might want to consider trimming down the high beam switch lever, make little more room for your hands. Thx for real world update.
You're welcome mate. Yeah I guess to make it so cheap it had to be a little heavy but it's not as heavy feeling as I thought it would have been. So far so good.
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
I will be getting mine in the next 7-10 days. My cost in Mexico was $8400 usd. And includes t-box, center stand, luggage racks and motor protection bars. Adios amigo 👋🏼
Hey amigo you will love the bike
Just wanna say that engine sounds awesome oh man.
Thanks man, it's pretty got for stock exhaust
I really can't wait for this bike to come to the states, but we don't even have a release date yet.
It will come. The 800mt took about a year in USA after it came out here so I would bet middle of next year.
I'd love one of these 450's
It's really good for the money. I really think it will be a world wide success
Groove Armada !!! ❤
Do you know the song? I still hear its intro when accelerating in 4-5 gear
@@outie555 I first knew Groove Armada with the song Hands of Time from the movie Collateral, then Chicago! (With great remixes). You mean the sound whooooo whooooo of the intro ?
@@lescautpatrice8468 yeah that's it
@@outie555 Even though I don't have it yet, I already love this bike 😀
Hi ! Are you planing to add some accessories like crash bar and engine protection plate ? ✌️ to you
(Exhaust sound is beautiful !)
Yep, upper and lower crash bars, rear crash bars/pannier rack. Bash plate. All on order, just waiting for them to arrive at the dealer
@@outie555 This is pretty close to what I also want to add. I'm planning to go riding on the Hellas Rally tracks in Greece, I think I will also change the tires for more off-road tires. In France the motorcycle is sold with the high mudguard, but I prefer the same one as yours.
I'm thinking of getting one. I would say they have to come to a licencing agreement with google over the maps so probably why it isn't working yet. Royal Enfield have theirs working on all their bikes using either the tripper navigator or on screen on the new Himalayan with it's round colour tft display.
I never thought of that, and RE probably is lobbying google to delay it, so the Himalayan gets sales.
The new bike looks great. Fun fact about speed limits on dirt roads in Tasmania, They're limited to 80 k's an hour state wide. 🤪🤪
That is a fun fact
Apparently Tas is the most nanny'd state in Australia. Why TF don't you lot stand up for yourselves??
@@pigmeal2224 really? It's not that bad. No tolls, no red light cameras. Come live the life then judge.
@@Guvna947 no judgement mate. Love the place. I've lost count of the number of times we've been there. Hey ... maybe you guys really like being the most nanny'd place in Australia ... 🤷🤷🤷 You do you ...
@@pigmeal2224 i would have thought Victoria would have foot the bill for the nanny state.
Thx for the video, I am interested in one (I gonna test drive one tomorrow if all goes well), 2 things caught my attention: service intervals and exotic tires size (the rear one), what do you think ?
Depends on what's important to you really and how much you plan on riding. For me if I ride the 450mt the same as my ctx700 then it would need 2 oil changes a year. Not that big of a deal really. Tyre wise can limit the types of tyre options but there will still be a tyre that suits your riding style.
Great video, are you still running the stock tyres I have been running mine at 24psi for gravel and it seems to work well. Mud though, is a whole different issue :)
I will hopefully get a portable pump soon and was thinking 25 psi would be about right for off-road on tubeless tyres. Still riding the stock ones, not good in mud but great in the dry conditions.
@@outie555 the electric pumps are worth there weight in gold. And appreciate you coming back to me.
This is probably the closest thing to my dream motorcycle. Had it had 575 cc with increasing the stroke from 55mm to 70mm. So if you had an engine that has good low and medium torque and that would make it better in everything through lower rpm you drive with and more torque. But this is very good so I am very impressed with this bike for the weight and the price and hp is enough to. But as I said 550-575cc on bike lie this is my dream and like about 50hp is enough for me.
It does have a lot of usable power and it's been a great bike so far. At about 200kg it could have been a bit lighter but probably not for the $9000 I paid in the preorder, or even the $9500 it is now for sale at.
Excellent review. I come from a KLR '14 with the same power and wheels, but, naturally, at lower RPMS for the same power delivered.
I see the 450 is good for off road but wonder how it behaves on the Tarmac for long distances (2,000 km). Can it keep 130 km/h constant and have some good rest to overpass trucks? Cheers.
Yes will do 130 and max out at the rev limiter about 140-150km.
really interested to take this bike. Just one question tho, does it come in a different color? I know they offer 2 colors on their website, but every review ive seen has been in this blue color. Im in NZ not OZ, but figured the options should be the same
Yeah two choices. The grey one and the blue one in Australia and the rest of the world.
I used to get 400 km out of my 15 litre tank on my Himalayan using 98 octane. That was a mixture of off road (a lot) & highway. How does the 450 MT compare? Does it tell you your fuel economy & give you your range?
When I filled the 17L tank up the range remaining indicated was 415L. So far the fuel usage is 4.1L/100km.
Hi! How comfy is it for the passenger? I haven't the occasion of seeing it ( testing is out of question) as the local dealer is selling them before they even arrive. Thanks!
It's no Goldwing so the passenger will be slightly uncomfortable for long rides. The grab rails are great for the passenger and the seat is wide enough. If the passenger is 6 foot tall they will probably find it a bit cramped but it's still not too bad. With a backrest or top box added they will feel more secure.
@@outie555 thanks
You can't turn off ABS to back wheel but leave traction control on like you can with the Triumgh Scrambler as their are no rider modes as such due to it not having ride by wire.
Ah ok, but it's does have them listed as separate options to disable in the menu. Are you sure you are right? I can check later if you need the information.
You can turn off abs to the back, and leave front on for off road. Looking at getting this bike and have watched a previous video saying the above. Hope that helps. 👌
You said you drive it on the highway. how does it handle on the highway, does it have enough power to handle highway driving and is there any vibration. What is the maximum speed on the highway
I would not want to need to go faster than 140km per hour. I ride at 100-110km and it's very smooth.
I rode one today at 116-ish on highway and it was very good. It was easy.
Trim the high beam lever for a couple of mm
That would work. Although I seem to have become more aware of it and haven't flicked it on for the last few days so it's only a small issue at first but then not a problem
Thank you for your video! I'm French and I'd like to know if it's possible to drive at 130km/h without the bike pushing too hard?
Yes you can! There's a lot of buffetting from the small windshield for me at that speed.
@@outie555 All right, I'll have to look into getting the big windscreen, so thanks :)
Hi, Good video and contents. Could I check with you, what is the real MPG you are getting?
So far 100km uses about 4.2L of petrol. I'm on my second tank of petrol and do a combination of city and highway riding. This is from the information the bike provides on the screen. It can show average L per 100 km or realtime consumption as you ride.
@@outie555 Wowww ... our VStrom 800DE - 35 kg heavier and approaching double the capacity, has averaged 3.9L/100 for the past 3300 km since new. We're due to collect our 450MT tomorrow. Might have to reconsider ... 😮😔😔
@@pigmeal2224 they are different engines man so you need to expect they will use different fuel rates. Like my other bike, CTX700N is 660cc, weights 217kg stock, but I've added bits so its probably 220kg+ only uses 3.4L/100km.
I see your vstrom is getting better fuel usage than all the specs i've seen on the fuel consumption of the 800DE. The official reported fuel usage is 4.4L per 100km on the 800DE. So i would imagine if you rode the 450MT on the same routes you ride the 800DE on, your fuel consumption would be less than mine is.
Im getting a 91 Harley. Soft Tail Fatboy. Then ill be taking your clothes boots and motorcycle. Legit. No problemo
It's not a tumour
i have same bike but i changed after 5km the stock tyres with Michelin Anakee Wild 90/90 21r and rear 140/80 18r , mine in EU can use also /80 and a saw a little +speed against /70 , mine in 6th gear 7000rpm is at 127kmh
Thanks for sharing, no idea what tyres I'll put on next but my other bike I use Michelin and they are great quality.
And good to see that on the rear that you can fit a 140/80 18" instead of the stock size of 140/70 18"
Has anyone heard when it will come Stateside?
My guess is next year as the 800mt (ibex800) took a year after it was in Australia to get to USA
Odds of seeing the same bike on the trail 😅
I know, it was rather random
Chose the Himi over the mt, at this point not sorry at all. Enjoy the ride.
Eh? How about giving us reasons why you think that?
I don't think you can go wrong with either bikes. Both are good.
Do ypupreffer this bike over benwlli trk 502x ? Pls tell me your pick
450mt is better quality build and reliability. A lot of 502x owners get disappointed when they break. Capability wise the 450mt is more capable and the 502x is more suited to just light gravel roads and touring.
@@outie555 thank you so much thats why i didnt buy the trk in your oppinion cfmoto 450 mt is the best mechine in this price .. im going to buy this beauty for sure now
@@outie555 do you think its capable for touring too ? For longe distance rides what about seat ? Pls put some light for this topic too
@@outie555 thanks for your responce and time please
This or the Himalayan 450....decisions, decisions :D
I'd say either or. Go for what feels right for you as they are both great bikes.
Δηλαδή τι ύψος έχεις και σου είναι ΟΚ ? Η να το πω διαφορετικά... εγώ που είμαι 1,67 πατάω κάτω καλά?
185cm. I can flat foot it.
you should use Offroad mode in off-road
I really should! I even went light offroading and forgot to do that.
How tall you are? I am 188 cm and iam concerned vere to hide my knees
Same here. Go for the 870mm seat for sure.
185cm. You'll be ok, my long legs are fine. Plus there is a high seat option, I have that on back order.
Yep, I'm waiting keenly for it and the tall windshield
Thats 56 mpg you're getting. That's not great as I got up to 105 mpg out of my 350 Meteor with the old Himalayan being about the same around the 80+ mpg. Perhaps it will improve once it's run in-hopefully.
Maybe you and I are the only ones realising that this bike is bloody thirsty for its size/weight. Even our big fat VStrom 800DE delivers better economy. We're due to collect our 450MT tomorrow, but I'm seriously thinking of letting it slide ... 😮😮
this is a good bike for 170cm rider?
I would say so
They probably didn't put the wheel tool in the kit because they have tubeless wheels and to save coin.
Still need to to adjust the chain, it's got the other tools and even the flat tube that connects two wheel wrenches for leverage, just not the wrenches.
@@outie555 maybe they’re on back order like everything else lol
Hope so
Lights at night?
They are good. That video will drop over the next few days
Vs Himalayan 450?
Haven't ridden one yet, but my 450mt is really good. Both good bikes though.
I am buying one in Argentina for USD 12k. Legacy of our clepto peronism/socialism ex-government
Yeah that price sucks, I feel for you.
Service every 5 000km...
Back in the 1990's... 🤣
Yeah I would prefer 10000km but it is what it is
I thought that then I seen the valve check at 24000 miles so that kinda makes up for it
At six foot 3 this maybe to small for meM
I'm 6 1 and it's fine.
