- The new 800MT from CFMOTO is a landmark model in the brands history.

Bought the Touring version and had the bike for two weeks now. Incredible machine. I come from an old Yamaha TDM and this is a whole different gameplay. If you are doubting, don't! Yesterday I said to myself, "I'll just go for a short ride", came back 1 hour and 40 minutes later... You don't want to get off!
What riding modes does it got?
Fuel consumption?

great video. I’ve been stewing over what mid size adventure bike to buy. I didn’t want to spend big dollars on a KTM 890 which then needs all its software activated for more $$. The Yamaha T7 is cheeper but has no software to speak of, then there’s all the other brands. BMW F800, Honda Africa Twin all cost over $25000. You then need luggage added. When I saw the CF Moto 800 MT touring with all the options for $14500 ride away, then another $2000 for the set of hard panniers. I was sold. I only got to ride one around a car park that was enough for me to put my order in. It’s coming in March. I can’t wait.
When people are wanting $10k for 10 year old XTZ660’s, these cfmoto’s are going to sell buy the bucket load. Given it has a 790 engine it’s a better bike than KTM’s own standard 790 adventure that costs more, has less on it and a year less warranty than the cfmoto.
Ill keep my foglights on for roo's..here in canada 🤣. Whitetail deer, black bear, moose, porcupines here in nova scotia Canada. Last summer though news footage showed a loode kanaroo running along a highway in ontario canada !
Great video.. i just bought am ibex 800t 2023 new..cant drive until i get shortened kickstand back from machine shop😢😢
Sooo, after a test ride, I only have a couple of minor issues with the bike. Firstly, the throttle is VERY snatchy. Secondly, a much more minor issue is the indicator switch. It has no 'feel' as to whether you've activated it or not so I was constantly looking down at the dash to see if i had indeed turned it on, AND to see if I had cancelled it. Small complaint, but nonetheless, annoying for something so simple to rectify. I think I would also buy a 'screen extension'/ luminar lip. Other than that, excellent value for money.
That fuelling issue has since been sorted.
I’ve only seen reviews of this and the 650’s so far, but I’m really interested in them. I haven’t seen a bad review. There’s the usual comments about 5 years down the road but I don’t think there’ll be any issues from what I’ve seen so far. I’m with you on the HP thing too, you can’t use 150hp unless your Barry Sheen! (Showing my age there😁)
I stumbled across this review, and glad to see it is in OZ. Hadn't really considered a CF Moto but based on your review, and other comments, I will take one for a test ride.
Interesting video. CFMoto truly are China's leading brand. I like the look of the CL-X.
Amazing. Underrated. I am putting an order in.
Thats a bargain!! KTM dealer told me that they make all but 2 of their bikes in china now!!
No mention of the poor engine mapping and the poor brakes, putting it politely ( see Garry McGovern's review) 🤔
I've never thought of CF Moto as serious ride until I saw your videos. Well done What a hard choice to make now , Royal Enfield 650, Benelli TRK or CF Moto 700/800, as there's only a couple of grand difference between them all , and I,m like you guys in the aged like smooth whiskey category. Its those pesky Demo rides, its like trying different boutique beers, never quite know when to finish and make that decision in which one you really like. Cheers from NZ.
Glad you like them!
This is more comparable to a VStorm then it would be a royal Enfield. Maybe a KLR 650 but that is more of an off-road bike
Cf gets my vote bit more expensive but worth it and no vibes 👍🏻
Hello Dale we meet us few years ago in Thailand in Prachuap Khiri Khan you go from Phuket to Chonburi by Honda 300cc Scooter. Do you remember? Daniel
I am very impressed. Never thought much about Chinese products. But this bike looks really good. KTM 790 engine etc. Some things like cruise control I can do without it. Riding a bike not driving a car. I own a 2014 Suzuki Vstrom 1000 right now and looking for another. Perhaps the 1050XT, BMW f850gs, Moto Guzzi v85tt and now.....CFMoto. never thought it might come to that. If the bike is available in my country I will certainly give it a look. I only wondering how the bike behaves at a durability test and how the quality looks like if the bike has 50 or 60.000 km on the clock. But I will not lie. It looks good.
Funny thing about the horse power of the bike, it's the excact horse power of the Honda Africa twin, 1000cc VS 800cc. I have the touring version, have had for 6 weeks now, absolutely brilliant bike.
Guess you don't understand torque? 77nm vs 105nm. Peak HP is a very small part of the overall picture.
@@xsr_dirt Rude. He actually specified HP,
💯% Comfortable when you ride with that bike sir.
Ride safe sir..
What a salesman I think I need to find a UK dealer lol.
Love it.
I put a $30 adjustable wind deflector on my 22 Honda AT ADVENTURE ES. It made a big difference for getting the wind over my helmet and I run the windshield in the low position. No need to replace the windshield.
Looks good but, I'm hasn't been in Australian conditions for long . Id rather give my money to Japan.
Nice review it's definitely on my list for a new bike later in the year 👍
You guys are lucky. Trying to find one in the US is impossible, their dealer network is crap.
I must live in a area that’s more populated or flooded with motorcycle dealers but in central Pennsylvania there are three dealers within 2 hours of me. My local dealer (35 minutes) is waiting till next year to add the motorcycle lineup. I’m not sure the 800mt has been released to the US yet, but hopefully soon.
@@Kwhopperfan It's even worse in California. None of the CFMOTO dealerships carry any ATVs over 600cc.
@@calitaco they are fully stocked with ATV’s and side by sides in some dealers, local dealer not so much but I figure part of the issue is he beats competitors price by nearly a grand. 80 plus units delivered, 6 or 8 units not spoken for, put a deposit on it and 2 and a half months later, killer deal on a cforce 600.
They’ve only just really entered the US market whereas they’ve been here… I would say really 10 years as a main option. They go back a lot further, but yeah, 2013/2014 was when they really started popping up all around with their low cc bikes and they started to really take off a couple of years later.
The brand has grown gang busters in the last 5 years though and their bikes have come on super fast.
Looking at how hard they’re now targeting the west I would think it won’t be too long in the US before they start popping up everywhere there too - my impression in Australia is the dealers are getting a much bigger cut selling cfmotos than Honda or Yamaha’s because everytime I go in a dealer that does cfmoto and others they always say ‘oh come check out the cfmoto’
Excellent review, ive been looking for an english review for ages, it comes out in the uk this summer. Think ill be going for a test drive with the wife and poss getting my order in, the only thing im curious about is, how easy it would be to get parts for it in the uk
And the UK pricing of course - still tbc on their website
@@jesterm7597 yeah ive been itching too know the price 😳🙄🤷♂️
They have come a long way recently... I guess it can be considered an Asian KTM or a comparative Africa Twin
Looking to buy one of these when they come to the UK.
Great stuff Dale!
Nice presentation guys
Thank you 😊
12:27 I wouldn’t struggle in saying not having a bash plate is a major issue. Great review though. You’ve convinced a Vstrom devotee to have a peek at the touring version.
Nicely produced Dale.
Thanks for watching
give it a few years
Very impressive bike in terms of features, fit and finish, and especially value for money.
Consider that most of those features are expensive option packages on most other marques playing in this mid size adventure bike field.
Also consider that most motorcycles are CAD/CAM manufactured and provided quality control is top notch, there's going to be little difference in materials and build quality no matter in which country the bike is made.
It might take some time for CF Moto to achieve brand 'status' enjoyed by the Japanese big four, or the likes of BMW/KTM/Moto Guzzi etc - however just as the Japanese before them effectively wiped out the then British motorcycle industry by providing bikes that were better featured, arguably better made, and at cheaper prices, so CF Moto could be set to seriously upset the market in favour of greater competition leading to better and cheaper bikes for everyone.
And given that how niche motorcyling has become, and how many cost more than a brand new quality car, that can only be a good thing.
You're 100% correct ,I couldn't have put it better.
wasn't it supposed to come with electric windshield adjustment?
These just launched in pakistan, but with taxes and exchange rate even the 600 costs around 18,000$
Great review, thanks.
Very welcome
Very welcome
Nice video and the details 👍
Thanks! 👍
WILL IT COME TO THE USA?
What riding modes does it got?
Why do you guys get a 3 year warranty, England gets a 4 year warranty and in usa we only get a 2 year warranty? NOT NICE CFMOTO!! 👎
KTM has reliability problems, and they don't honor their warranties frequently. At least here in America.
Mixing KTM with a Chinese bike =
Unreliable engine with low quality questionable build quality. 👌 you expect me to pay more than 10k for that. Are you guys salesmen ...im going to need more reviews to be convinced.
I have to say this about CF moto, our shop has been selling their ATV's and UTV's for a few years and we've sold a lot of them. Hardly any problems especially for the abuse they get in our desert climate. many customers are ranchers who use them daily and families who let kids and in laws use them, and outside of crash and abuse damage, overall the drivelines are very reliable. Parts and support haven't been an issue either. We're finally getting some of their bikes in, annoyingly they're not bringing the 800 at least this year.
I don't like the CCP and I've seen my share of disposable motorcycles from China, but I'm also old enough to remember when people said the same about Japanese bikes. So far CF moto has done a remarkable job, lets see what they have to offer, I don't care what people ride so long as they do ride. One shop I was with for 10 years took on KTM at our other dealership and they couldn't even get oil filters. I know CF will at least be able to supply parts!
"May the CForce be with you" Τα πάντα για το ΜΤ 650! ruclips.net/channel/UCO0d4gtAvJTGQuNXZI55Wfw
I don't give a Stuff How good it is ,if it's Chinese ,Don't Care What the price is ,Keep it !
Wouldn't do much good if it Stops half way across the Nullarbor !
You talk bollox
CFMoto is NOT a household name.
Let's see how long they last Chinese have never made anything great yet and KTM is trouble some big time and the parts are crazy prices This will not make it go south Africa
sensible comment
My 650nk is awesome and never lets me down, so you're wrong
The only problem I really have with this is that all my money would be going to the CCP. I go out of my way to not buy Chinese products where possible, and regardless of whether the engine is produced by KTM or not, most of it is still manufactured by Chinese owned and operated companies and the mentality to make it cheap is still an issue.
Slave labor too
.ktm had the Chinese make motors for them. Now they make the bikes too.
The device you used to post your thoughts was made in China......
Com on ....Aktm motor bulid in the same factory as ktm in china ...well its across the road from ktm so its the same eh ....what a joke ....look as that screen slide ..real nice haha ...keep it ...it looks like a 12k bike as well
@@smeghead61 Ok bud ..you win ...brilliant
They literally do build the KTMS in China you nong head. Stop talking
Japanese, European, American, or even Thai but never chinese bikes for me. KTM 790 was an utter failure. 231kg? 😆 🤣 😂
If you think it's actually KTM quality....
Absolute garbage. How much did they pay ya for this review.
Cheap plastic motorcycle
