How tall are you? I'm 6'2" and I'm considering this bike but haven't seen it in person yet. I'm absolutely in love with the clx7 and the price seems appropriate for what I consider an entry level bike for me.
I'm 6ft even, and I fit like a glove from Glove world on it. It DOES take some time to get used to how it feels on the Sport, it sits about as high as my Duke 390 did. What I've figured out is sit back as far as you can, against the tailbone pad. First few days I had discomfort in my hips (I sound old as shit) & my neck. After riding for a while, my body got used to the riding position. I drove the 700 Classic & this Sport, the Classic is much more....adventure bike feel than the Sport.
@@859Videos thanks for the quick response, I'm thinking of going with the classic because of the higher positioned handle bars, but I have to admit the sport does look mean in a good way.
@@TheMegamanpr No worries. I strive to respond asap, unlike most YTbers that will never respond. I agree, being the only sport in town (only clx at that) It's been mistaken for a ARC bike, & the Ducati Diavel
@@859Videos I got the classic a few months ago (they were out of sports)and I absolutely love the 700 clx. Was wondering if you knew if it is possible to change the handlebars on the classic to those of the sport - I prefer the more aggressive stance. If you know of any links hit me up - thanks
@@erik-ku7eo Oddly enough. They are super interchangeable. The 700 CLX USA owners group I run on FB talks about it a LOT. The only thing different is how they mount on the front end & the front Brembo brake reservoir.
I am hoping to get my hands on as many CF Moto bikes as possible to get the most out the "Experience Together" motto they label on all the bikes. Plus I do think CF Moto is about to really upset the balance of how comfortable the brands we've had here have been.
Appreciate you taking the time to make these my man. If you're the first in Lexington (or KY) with this, does that make me the second? Picked mine up last night from the gents at Indian.
Pity they cant tuck the exhaust pipies in a bit , where they leave the engine. You covered it in your post. Can see those pipes getting wiped out big time ....
I hope they figure something out, the only thing I can assume is it helps with cooling. KTM engines run hot, so I can only guess CF Moto left it open to cool it off.

Your content is leading me to a show room... Thank you bro
Well come see me in about 2 weeks at the Dealer referenced in one of my videos and I'll sell ya one 😏🤣
I currently reside in Kenya so I'd rather import one, thanx for the offer though... I appreciate it!
@@mainakamau8468 import is gonna be cheap at least!!
Glad for you. The 800 mt is coming out already. You should test drive it too.

Actually you would be the 3rd lol...there was 1 more before you. Join us on CLX 700 Owners USA on FB.
good job Ryan, keep it up
Thank you! Will need to get that 900 back out again and maybe get Cafe Vs Cafe comparison going on!!
No mods = opportunity to make your own. Pipe benders, metal brake, lathe, welder, go nuts.
Great news is a LOT of our US based riders have done just that. I am not that literate to do so 😆🤣.
When you can, could you do a full roadtest on the new 450SR . Thanks. Looks like we are getting it here in Australia.
I would love to as soon as we get one!
Just spoke with my dealer. The 450SR is not available in the United States at the present time. We have the Papios, 300SS, 650NK, & 700s
@@859Videos ....ah ok. Its coming to Australia soon. I dont think anybody hasit yet. If you get it eventually, a test would be great. Cheers!
@@859Videos yep. They look nice..
Do you still have this? I'm thinking of a second bike. The fact this comes with full 'Bos alone...
Yes. I'm at 9300 miles on my Odometer now
Sport vs Heritage for long distance riding?
Heritage for sure....the Sport is very uncomfortable for more than an hour unless your out doing backroads and doing sporty stuff

Any issues on the bike as of now?
Got a video coming out explaining a few things, but no nothing wild.
You know those “carbon fibre” pieces are actually plastic yeah?
10 points to Syltherin for pointing out the obivous
