I do find the heat can get up to 95c and sometimes 100c in very hot day. But fan dose kick it and drops its temperature. However the engine is designed to get hot. The fan is aggressive so you definitely fill the heat more riding. Bonus in winter but not so much in very hot summer day. I don’t mind those as got used to it. Just when stoped at traffic’s you can fill it alot.
The Tracer 700 fan didn’t kick in till 100c so I find the heat is one side rather than all of me when stopping at lights , but like you say it’s only going to be an issue stationary & a hot day , even then it might be cooler than some bikes.
When i test drove the adeveture before i bought it. The bike was slightly overheating but it ended up being the dealership didnt tighten the radatior cap fully...i told them the bike was getting got they didnt beleive me at first
Same really, they never brought App support to the 2022 model. Even those it has navigation option on the dash. I can connect phone to the Dash those just not app. I dont mind, as prefer WAZE for navigation anyway. I do love my 650MT 2022. Best bike I have owned so far. I had a Honda NT700 before this and that was not bad bike, but it was showing its age and wanted newer looking bike at great price. 650MT hit the mark on all of this and much more.
It’s a dam good bike at the price point even better if the price drop occurs when the 700cc MT gets here. A few niggles but certainly nothing that would deter most riders.
Wish i had a dealer near me as am so intrigued in this and was looking for slightly more power than my CB500X. Over 150 mile round trip to my closest dealer 😮
Maybe book a test ride and have a day out and enjoy your route there and back , hopefully when there are more dealerships available then it will be easier for more people to get on one , ps my dealers a 100+ mile round trip
2yrs for the big 4. Seems CFMoto say if you exclusively get your bike serviced by them they can extend it a further year. So yes compared to the Japanese brands that's pretty good. I'm still skeptical as I'm interested in this kind of bike but for now I'm leaning more towards the CB500x (soon to be rebranded to NX500) @@BlueHippoMoto
@rossjmacgregor8436 I’ve been impressed with the performance of all the components on the CFMOTO so far but time will tell. The CB500 series will have 1 obvious benefit in that there’s a much larger range of accessories built for it.

@@BlueHippoMoto I agree. The fan kicks in alot earlier then other bikes. Maybe Cfmoto just calling it safe.

@eec197 interesting, personally don’t find it any hotter than most other bikes just fan kicks in a bit more frequently.
@@BlueHippoMoto I 100% agree. Some bike have the fan starting at 100c where 650mt Is around the 90c mark.
I have the 21 model, only feel heat when stationary, I need to get better at filtering in traffic to avoid it
That’s a good way to avoid it

You're lucky. Here in Australia the closest dealer to me is 400km.
not a cloned engine, they have the rights to produce the earlier version of the engine
Indeed they have the rights , but it’s not their engine , not their design. So how would you describe it ?
@@BlueHippoMoto licence built obviously, a clone indicates a copy which it is not
@@andyc750 A replica, that would sound more appropriate, a licensed replica.
The old model looked better with the crash bars. That seems to have been replaced by ugly rectangle of black to fill in the sides
I think the black rectangle is behind the crash bars on the older model & it certainly has more of a presence with the crash bar’s fitted
3yr warranty here in Australia
How’s that line up with the bigger more established brands over in Australia?

4.20 windshield looks dodgy
In what way do you mean ?
@BlueHippoMoto looked bent but must have been the camera angle
@razzledazzle8948 yep dodge camera angle I blame the camera man 🤣
4 year warranty in United Kingdom? Not on your nelly what with salt and roads befitting a third world country.
Yes 4 years parts and labour.. even Japanese bikes rust in the in the United Kingdom and they only give you 2 years peace of mind
Sounds like you've never been to a 3rd world country mate.
3yrs here in Australia and I guarantee our roads are worse than the UK. You really have no idea.
@@HondaWanderer I live in a third world country, England.
@@johnrocker2986 nope. It's a 1st world country. You're deluded.
