1000miles in and im still loving my bike 100 percent, its not the fastest bike in the world but it definitely leaves you satisfied. i might upgrade my seat
Update: 5500 miles and i still love it! Keeping your bike well maintained and clean really helps maintain a satisfying performance for the 300ss. if you let things get old, dirty, like chain and oil, you will lose a bit of smoothness in torque that you want to make up for the lack of top speed.
@@mindofvirtuoso3358 It's so worth it, I also recommend getting guards for your levers. (you can get them at the dealership) I dropped my bike day 2 and chipped my clutch lever ;dddddddddd
"it looks like an r6 with a pushup bra" suprisingly accurate 😂 Being a broke 20 year old, this seems like a great upgrade for me from a 12 hp Chinese import dual sport (Hawk 250). Small bikes are fun!
I have a CFMOTO 300NK (same specs but a naked version) and I completely share the same sentiments as in this video. It has been a perfect bike for me, as a beginner rider, and I'm excited to see how I can grow a little bit with the bike. Thank you for spreading the good word about CFMOTO and keep cranking out the amazing content!!!
Have you taken it on the freeway yet? I'd love to get one of these but I'm worried that the engine won't be able to handle occasional commutes at highway speeds.
I was interested in the 300SS initially, it looks amazing. I purchased the 300NK because it had the tail tidy, it was $300 cheaper and no fairings means easier self maintenance. I may get a small wind deflector for it later. The top speed in the owners manual from the manufacturer says “designed” 86mph, but I’ve had it up to 99 according to the speedo. I do wish it had 31.5hp and 21.5ft lbs of tq. It would be nice if it were around 321lbs too. Other than these few minor things, I couldn’t be happier. I got a brand new 300 naked bike for $3900 and it has so many features and awesome warranty. I’d say it would have no problem maintaining 65mph highway speed for a prolonged period, which is about 6000rpm.
For a budget bike yes, it's one of the better ones. Better than ANY dash? Hardly. Any of the newer bigger KTM's, BMW's, Kawasaki's, etc all have waaay better looking TFT's.
@@noahsouthurst I bought mine over the summer. Been riding it ever since. Sold my Duke 200 to get my CFMOTO 300SS. It's amazing! No issues. I get on the highway and it keep up. It''ll go fast, just takes longer than a 650cc or 1000cc, but it's more than capable. I mostly ride around back roads with a lot of twists. It handles so well. I really love it.
i like bigger CC bikes but i have to admit, for the price this bike is its absolutely stunning! led tail light, DRL and LCD screen! you cant go wrong..
All that is irrelevant tbh. Yes it's nice to have but at the end of the day I question the long term reliability of these motorcycles. I've never seen anything Chinese on two wheels that wasn't crap after 10,000 miles and a fist full of cash for all the repairs you will most likely do in-between that period
@@TheGospelofKenneth for that price it can't be nice, fast AND reliable... For such a price tag you have to pick one. And if looks is your priority then this is not a bad buy
@@TheGospelofKenneth just because other chinese manufactures you know produce a crap bikes doesn't mean all of them are bad. cf moto are kinda different. read about their history. I wouldn't say their bike is on par with the japs...yet, but it's clearly not as bad as you expected. cf moto is in a joint venture with ktm, that's why their bike's design (especially the naked/sf one) kinda similar with ktm. they also involved in moto3 racing. their bikes are actually sold well in UK and have a good credibility.
Today was actually my first ride on my new CF300 SS _2023) and I could tell to anyone this! Everything on that video is 150% accurate. So great, that I wouldn't even mention having to block the sun to see the screen. When you have to do reviews, you kind of need to find some issues.. If I was the guy from Chaseontwowheels I would have done the same! But this bike, is incredible!
i have to admit chase, I've been watching you're videos for a while now and this is def one of the top motorcycle channels on YT! good job chase :) also one less competition considering scammy noob set himself on fire lol
hey man the camera car footage is a cloudy day as opposed to when you're on the bike and its sunny haha i love catching bloopers, love the video in the market for a new bike
OC: Definitely need to find one to test ride. Been so long since I rode a 300cc bike. I really do miss revving the shite outta a bike and barely going anywhere. It's nothing but kicks and giggles running around the city like that. Also can we have Heather in the camera car more. That headlight in a push-up bra line killed me 🤣🤣🤣.
I just seen the 2024 450ss. Soo good looking . Went to their site and found the 300ss. Dam good looking bike and rite in my price range definant buy for me. awsome review thanks.
Dude the cheap buy in price compared to literally everything plus the tech makes this the perfect bike to actually start on and not care to move on to something faster
This bike is literally perfect it has tft display the design looks super sick I just wish it had an engine like R3 but slightly more powerful or the same power because no matter what 2 cylinder is always better than 1
I got a 300nk (the naked version of the 300ss) over a month ago and put over 1700 miles on it with zero issues. No problems with maintenance,oil changes at the dealer 45 minutes tops. My only complaint is aftermarket support that isn't AliExpress/AliBaba/eBay and the "Anti glare" on the screen that makes it unreadable in direct sunlight
I'm 5'8 and I'm dreaming to have this bike. I think it will fit perfectly to my size. Love the way you test the bike. You have such a positive outlook about it. I've seen alot more far worse videos from other people, where they just point out that it sucks. But I don't think that's the case, I think it goes to how optimistic the rider is, to his own bike. And that's what makes it enjoyable, having gratitude that you own a pretty good bike.
I got to sit on one today and I said the same thing about being able to handle the weight of it. I’m 5’2 so if I were to drop it or hold it in place I know I can lift it or just keep it steady with my legs. I sat on cruisers and they were much heavier and I wasn’t confident I could lift it if needed. this bike is much more comfortable from the brief interaction I got. I’m most likely going to get this one.. I’m in love 🥰🏍️
@@675lucid not in CF Motos but I sat on 1000ccs and other different sizes. I did end up getting the CF Moto 300ss and I love it! I did drop it once applying the break during a turn and had to lift it up, it was easy 💪🏾😮💨 lol
I've ridden the 300ss and nk and I think they are the way to go if you are a beginner wanting a new bike with a warranty. Personally I'd go with the nk and save some money and shave off some weight while your at it.
What a nice review. Everyone is trashing the bike with the exact same pitch: “it’s ok but I don’t know”. That’s not serious to me at all. They say it’s underpowered but having owned the Duke 200, the 250, a Chinese 250 naked lemon and a Honda CBX 250, I can say this one more than holds its ground against the KTM’s, plus it’s truly gorgeous and cheaper.
FyI Chase, the newest model 450sr/ss has been sent to dealers you may ask them, it would be really intrestng, btw thank you for the quality review, this bike and CFmoto deserved it indeed
We have the 250cc versions of this and the naked one in my country and let me tell you they sell like hot cakes. And price-wise, they undercut the japanese alternatives by 50%!! And people ride them since 2019 and those engines are strong! Very impressive from a Chinese manufacturer
Hey Chase! I'm new to this channel. I'm from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. I do own a 2022 KTM Duke 250. It's more or less the same as 300ss. Produces 30hp & 24Nm. Costs around 3065/- on road. Your videos are really good. Keep growing bro😊
I'm a swiss motorcycle mechanic and we sell some CF Motos as well. To answer the question if there is any difference between Eco and Sport mode; No, there isn't. It's really just the screen that changes and imo most of them look sportier in Eco than they do in Sport mode
im a new rider, currently in the UK on my CBT license so im only allowed a 125cc bike with learner plates.. ( i know sucks) but im going for my A2 license which allows upto 500cc soon and im thinking i should try out all bikes.. this one caught my eye as an upgrade
OC: CF ain't playing. Another brand that's peeping into the shocking category is a company called Zontes. Hope you get to check'em 300s line up out. thanks Chase
@@salskars6637 I still have my 300ss!! i gotta say, its pretty good! its best on the street but it can also do long rides. i took to a 7 hrs road trip and back without any problems whatsoever. engine is good, no leaks anywhere. just as long as you do the basic maintenance such as oil change, you're good to go. just in 8.5 months i did 11k km on it. but i am a lazy owner so even when i didn't clean my chains for the whole year, it still runs great. one thing tho, i did upgrade to an Aprilia 660 just this month. I'm not sure if that me just wanting a flash-er bike or the bike is getting boring for me.... but I'm sure its differs from person to person. i am still keeping the bike though for chill rides and for helping new/interested riders try on a motorcycle.
I’m curious to hear from other riders who have this bike. I’m a 200 pound man and wondering what everyone’s top speed is. I don’t care if it doesn’t go over 100 mph but I’d like something that can cruise at 75 on a highway comfortably and still has enough power to pass or get out of trouble if needed
I'm not a new rider, but not overly experienced either. I bought this bike and LOVE IT! I ride with friends on bigger bikes and still have a ton of fun with it.
Excellent review. I am looking t this bike for my wife, a new rider, and you pretty much hit every single point fr a new rider and mirrored the same comments I have read elsewhere... I am excited about this bike for her. I own a GSX-S1000F and been riding for 35+ years...
Just bought this bike today. Picking it up tmr. It’s gonna be my first bike. I’m on the shorter stature side of 5’3/5’4 hoping that won’t hinder my riding.
as of now their bigger bikes seem to be quite a good alternative. Technically speaking they use engines from the likes of kawasakis ER650, Ninja/Z400, etc which are proven concepts. at last they produce parts for ktm like the dashboard, etc and ktm is considered a high quality brand (even though they kinda fail a lot with their in house produced things). in the end it's mainly about maintance and some bikes handle low maintance better than others
I'd have strongly considered the 300NK instead of the Z400 I bought if they had been available. I feel like their Chinese origin would have helped keep their price from balooning like the stuff from the big 4 did. I could have walked out probably spending almost 2 grand less OTD than I did. And it's a really good point, that most small cc bikes will end up replaced before that 2 year warranty is up. Hell, I'm already planning my next bike and I've only had my Z400 since July.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Good to hear! When it's time to upgrade, the CFMotos are a tempting option. There's a 700 CL-X semi-local to me that is OTD just shy of what I paid for my Z400 OTD... They're SUPER tempting, especially since they seem to be offering MORE for the money, with that nice TFT dash and rideraids.
That bike is no question the best looking entry level bike out there. Performance is certainly way below appearance lol. And for $4299? Wow you really can't go wrong with this. I wish they made larger engine bikes that look like this but their other bikes are all naked
The CFMoto SR-C21 is in the works and is believed to be in the 700-800cc range. That thing looks incredible go check it out. It’s a full supersport model, not naked
Fun fact, CF is short for Spring Wind in Chinese.Which is the real name of this factory. They are competing at Moto3 this year althought score-wise they are struggling.
Ask the dealer if they can make order from you straight from the factory coz that's what happen here in our country they'll do the order first and you'll receive your bike after a month or two
I’m between this and a ninja 400. This has the looks and sounds, fast enough for my needs, ABS, and the beautiful price But at 6’2 250lbs I’d definitely have to try it. The ninja 400 ABS is more well known, already has a good amount of info on mods, and repair/service. Or I could just start on an 06 ninja 636 that’s already modified, as it’s my step fathers but he doesn’t want to repair it…..
@@101BadBreath I’ll probably just end up fixing my stepfathers 636 SE, and not send her to the moon (with me included). He says it has a ton of low end torque but I’m assuming that’s because he doesn’t know how to ride it well……
We sell the cf moto atv and utv. Have really good results from them. Good options on them, good price point. They are coming back in for service work, not broke work. Good machines.
I'm a curious, possibly future, rider and have been looking at this one. I love how you listed some comp's at the beginning! Thank you! Edit: I noticed later on in the video you stated most people don't keep their 300cc bikes for more than a couple of years. So if I want a beginner bike that I can keep for a little while, should I look into a 400+? I've heard 650's are a good middle ground that aren't too much to learn on but have plenty of power so you don't feel like you're missing out on anything. Thoughts?
Im swapping out the windshield instantly when I get mine, I love everything on this bike except the windshield. It looks goofy and the taller one cfmoto sells is 100 times better.
Gotta say, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha need to really pay attention to this bike. They're offering a better overall package for less money, with a solid warranty. If production can keep up with demand, the "Big 4" might be in trouble.
I've owned Kawasaki, Honda and KTM bikes. I bought a CFMOTO 300SS over the summer and it's been my favorite bike so far. I love smaller bikes and this one is the best you can get.

I'm not sure if that me just wanting a flash-er bike or the bike is getting boring for me.... but I'm sure its differs from person to person. i am still keeping the bike though for chill rides and for helping new/interested riders try on a motorcycle.
I’m curious to hear from other riders who have this bike. I’m a 200 pound man and wondering what everyone’s top speed is. I don’t care if it doesn’t go over 100 mph but I’d like something that can cruise at 75 on a highway comfortably and still has enough power to pass or get out of trouble if needed
Chase, is around 200lbs so the video is similar to what you'd experience. He calls out the rpms etc. Happy hunting.
OC. It's a good looking bike and would probably work very well for the new rider looking for the SS look.
I'm not a new rider, but not overly experienced either. I bought this bike and LOVE IT! I ride with friends on bigger bikes and still have a ton of fun with it.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Yeah I've also been riding for 6 years or so, on my cb500f for 4 years now and I really think this could be a bunch of fun.
Laughed at the comment about the lights! Perfect description.
Shiiiiiiiiit I’m getting tempted again…
Have you heard when and if you guys are going to get the 2023 300ss and 450ss to ride and do a review on
I've been waiting for a good video to buy this bike thank you
Can't wait for the cfmoto 450ss
Best looking low cc sport bike at the market! 👌🏾
Excellent review. I am looking t this bike for my wife, a new rider, and you pretty much hit every single point fr a new rider and mirrored the same comments I have read elsewhere... I am excited about this bike for her. I own a GSX-S1000F and been riding for 35+ years...
Review the Svartpilen 401 PLEASE!
Smaller lighter cc bikes actually are much better if you’re just doing city driving
Amen. I've down-sized three times and love the smaller cc displacement. (no time to tour either)
Just bought this bike today. Picking it up tmr. It’s gonna be my first bike. I’m on the shorter stature side of 5’3/5’4 hoping that won’t hinder my riding.
How's the bike
That has got to be the prettiest little 300 sports bike yet!
Honda CB 300 gets my vote. But this bile us surprisingly good.
I bought this as my first bike the other day I’m having a blast
Might be my beginner bike but idk about the bigger bikes because idk if their bikes will start fall apart after 2 years
as of now their bigger bikes seem to be quite a good alternative. Technically speaking they use engines from the likes of kawasakis ER650, Ninja/Z400, etc which are proven concepts. at last they produce parts for ktm like the dashboard, etc and ktm is considered a high quality brand (even though they kinda fail a lot with their in house produced things). in the end it's mainly about maintance and some bikes handle low maintance better than others
nice review and the speed thing is so true like I'm not racing and I live in the city so 300, 450 is more than enough
Excellent review. I've liked and subscribed. 👍
I'd have strongly considered the 300NK instead of the Z400 I bought if they had been available. I feel like their Chinese origin would have helped keep their price from balooning like the stuff from the big 4 did. I could have walked out probably spending almost 2 grand less OTD than I did. And it's a really good point, that most small cc bikes will end up replaced before that 2 year warranty is up. Hell, I'm already planning my next bike and I've only had my Z400 since July.
I've always been a Kawasaki fan. Still am, but I bought my CFMOTO 300SS for the price point. I love it! Every bit as good of quality as Kawasaki.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Good to hear! When it's time to upgrade, the CFMotos are a tempting option. There's a 700 CL-X semi-local to me that is OTD just shy of what I paid for my Z400 OTD... They're SUPER tempting, especially since they seem to be offering MORE for the money, with that nice TFT dash and rideraids.
Hopefully they’ll release the 450 one on the States.
Supposedly sometime in March or April.
Hehe yey they did it
That bike is no question the best looking entry level bike out there. Performance is certainly way below appearance lol. And for $4299? Wow you really can't go wrong with this. I wish they made larger engine bikes that look like this but their other bikes are all naked
Their 450sr was just released in asia. 50hp at only 168kg. this one is a power house!
Honda cb500f only has 44hp!
The CFMoto SR-C21 is in the works and is believed to be in the 700-800cc range. That thing looks incredible go check it out. It’s a full supersport model, not naked
Fun fact, CF is short for Spring Wind in Chinese.Which is the real name of this factory. They are competing at Moto3 this year althought score-wise they are struggling.
It is a gorgeous little sport bike....but do you need power modes on a 29hp machine? Probably could have made it even cheaper without modes
there are 10+ of these for sale for $3,199 in my area and its got me thinking about it
omg i love this video i have watched it like 5 times already
Same goes to me :)
same. It's lust worthy.
i'm very disappointed that cf moto doesn't offer their 450 sr in the US
Ask the dealer if they can make order from you straight from the factory coz that's what happen here in our country they'll do the order first and you'll receive your bike after a month or two
now if only they'd release their 450 in the states
I’m between this and a ninja 400.
This has the looks and sounds, fast enough for my needs, ABS, and the beautiful price
But at 6’2 250lbs I’d definitely have to try it.
The ninja 400 ABS is more well known, already has a good amount of info on mods, and repair/service.
Or I could just start on an 06 ninja 636 that’s already modified, as it’s my step fathers but he doesn’t want to repair it…..
With ur size small bikes will look small and be slow af...go 600+
@@101BadBreath I’ll probably just end up fixing my stepfathers 636 SE, and not send her to the moon (with me included). He says it has a ton of low end torque but I’m assuming that’s because he doesn’t know how to ride it well……
honda needs to hire their designers
Omg...this bike looks amazing for a 300cc. And very affordable. 🤷🏾♂️ it's prob a really good commuter bike.
10:26 Says you won't blow through traffic, while he blows through traffic lol
Is the 300nk essentially the same thing, but with less fairings? Thinking about buying this as my first bike, but can only find 300nks near.
Contact a dealer and see if they can get you one
Yes, the 300NK is the same engine as the 300SS. It weighs 30 lbs less and has a slightly bigger gas tank.
Same bike except naked style looks better
Damn i just got 6.2 taller 😂 but i still love this bike, so any recommendations for my height ?
Love the video!! Will you also review the SR450?
SR450 is not available in the USA yet. Hope we get it.
You need to do a first ride for the cfmoto 450 sr
NIce Bike Chase.... Looking forward to the CFMOTO 300 NK First Ride and Review
Can't wait to get mine
We sell the cf moto atv and utv. Have really good results from them. Good options on them, good price point. They are coming back in for service work, not broke work. Good machines.
Kind of lean more to the 300 NK I think but doesn’t seem like a bad option for someone on a tight budget looking for an entry level sport-style ride.
I love my 300NK
I'm a curious, possibly future, rider and have been looking at this one. I love how you listed some comp's at the beginning! Thank you!
Edit: I noticed later on in the video you stated most people don't keep their 300cc bikes for more than a couple of years. So if I want a beginner bike that I can keep for a little while, should I look into a 400+? I've heard 650's are a good middle ground that aren't too much to learn on but have plenty of power so you don't feel like you're missing out on anything. Thoughts?
650 not a good starter bike 450 is better.
Im swapping out the windshield instantly when I get mine, I love everything on this bike except the windshield. It looks goofy and the taller one cfmoto sells is 100 times better.
It is 300SR in our country, I personally own one. It is a bang for the buck bike 👌👍🏍️
headlight gives off cbr650r vibes
Gotta say, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha need to really pay attention to this bike. They're offering a better overall package for less money, with a solid warranty. If production can keep up with demand, the "Big 4" might be in trouble.
I've owned Kawasaki, Honda and KTM bikes. I bought a CFMOTO 300SS over the summer and it's been my favorite bike so far. I love smaller bikes and this one is the best you can get.
You should test the new rc 390 i heard amazing things about it!
I’m about to get my first bike in a few weeks to learn on and have some fun. I’m looking at one of these or a CBR300R. Which one would you recommend?
Cfmoto 300ss or the new and soon upcoming cfmoto450ss.
I would get the CFMOTO. They have about the same performance and the 300ss has more tech.
Hey Owen what are your opinions on which a newbie should get the 300ss or 450ss
Just bought a 2023 300ss. Any tips on getting the most out of the bike while i’m still breaking it in?
