Watching from Australia. I must say, most in depth overview of this bike. Very impressed with showing rolling shots and shots of 2 up and more! I also learned a few things as well!
As a ktm 790 Duke owner. I instantly recognise that engine.. Though its the euro5 version of the engine with 10hp less. The engine, is one of the best and powerful middleweight parallel twin engine in modern times. So with some refinement from the manufacturer I'm sure it'll be better. The heat is inherent.. Its a ktm engine after all. 🤣
Been salivating at this bike ever since news of its development appeared at the beginning of the pandemic. Then last year the Tiger 850 arrived. To this day, the 800MT still has not arrived in Malaysia. To me, an ADV touring bike with no remotely adjustable rear pre-load is problematic enough. But having no preload adjustability at all is a deal-breaker if you're the type who alternates between commuting solo with no pannier, riding solo with pannier + luggage and touring with a passenger + pannier + luggage. Something tells me it's probably the same KYB unit from the 700 CL-X which also has no preload adjustment.
yes you are right, a thing to consider for tourers. people should know that pre-load adjustability is an important factor!! good news is that upgrade options are there in the market 😝
Haha we werent specifically talking about the engine when the chicken wing part came in, we like the bike but felt there was a little room for improvement
I'm 1.64 and felt unconfortly because of seat height. How is possible Delilah touch with a feet' all toes? Anyway the bike is wonderful and well built. A little expensive here in Italy :11500 euro (ready to go) without panniers. Alu trio is another 1090 euro. A pity.
Not here in the US yet. Only the Adventura is available, and I haven''t ridden that yet either. Dealer I went to near where I live is a KTM dealer too and had me test ride the 1290 Super Adventure, so now I will be biased AF. No dates to when we could expect the MT800 yet, but my guess is mid to late 2023. Nice video though, and I love the honesty.
I totally agree... So much spec but no remote pre load? For a touring adventure bike with panniers? That part is weird. Not in the US yet but I have already notified my local dealer I want the first one in my area... Amazing value
On a non related bike question. What´s the box between the mirror and the screen at minute 2:03? I´ve seen that box on every of your reviews, it´s some kind of TAG for tolls?
Hi doe this model comes with keyless start? Also about yhe non adjustable traction control there's a big debate in Europe on the official dealer that it doesn't have a traction control at all can iou provide an official source to see this feature its present
Comes with a key! Yes we are aware of the debate, not much official info about the traction control but according to the dealer there is a non adjustable traction control.
Very interesting review, well put. 800MT is great considering price range. Been riding Benelli trk502x for almost a year now, I guess 800MT would be better option than Trk800.
@@tri333ple hey yes thanks mate :) what made your video even more interesting for me was all the fun parts :) also variety of shots made it wholesome.. great effort brings out greater results.. totally hooked😏

@@tri333ple I've watch other reviews and all of them said it doesn't come with traction control. I don't think cfmoto build different specs for different markets, Philippines and Singapore with heated grips and heated seats? So that comes back to the traction control. Sure this bike comes with traction control? I'm also surprised you mentioned KYB rear shocks do not have preload, But other reviewers said otherwise. I think i will check the bike out and test ride.
@@tri333ple I have confirmed with cfmoto dealership and test drove the bike. there is no traction control as per many other reviewers all over the world. Also i was told the bike are shipped all over the world only 1 spec. Asia, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and US. I think it will be very strange that only singapore get traction control.
@@CaptainChristianZ1818 yes we agree. We didnt get the chance to verify traction control ourselves as we had returned the bike. But the local CFMOTO dealers told us that there is TC but non adjustable. Looks like the dealers didnt get the same info. 🤦♂️
The head look too big and bulky with those large lights. Like fat cat Garfield sitting on top of the steering wheel. This is top heavy and prone to flip over when doing a tight turn at low speed. One wonder why u needs such a big headlight? Majority of riders rarely ride at night for adventures. It just too dangerous. That’s simple. Just install spot lights at the lower frames will do. Look at the new Suzuki vstrom 800 DE. Small headlights,streamline, smart and neat ( Suzuki nailed it this time).I wish the fuel tank should be 20L instead of18L. I understand that the engines was from the defunct KTM 800 which the later no longer produce. ( long history of never ending problems!). The main attraction here is cheap.compares to other manufacturers. Just my honest opinions 😅for QF motor’s to ponder upon.

The CFMOTO 800MT is a very good motorcycle, but you forgot about the TCS (Traction Control System), The CFMOTO 800MT don't have TCS
Hi Victor thanks for the input, we've been getting our information from the local distributor. Let us confirm that piece of information and update!
I'm surprised you didn't like the engine, it is THE engine from the KTM 790. All in all a great review.

Hi from Spain! Great review, love the bike!!
hopefully they will bring in the 2023 800MT Explorer into Singapore!
Seriously like wanted to get this bike ah...actually looking for GS..but this bike caught my eye
You might want to book a demo ride to try it for youself
@@tri333ple where to go for demo?

It also really depend on inseams. Have you seen how much it costs to get a motorcycle here in our country 🥲
Hi! Can y'all do a review on more class 2B bikes please? Like Yamaha XSR155, Kawasaki 175 etc. Thank you!

Pls tell cfmoto to upgrade wind sheild from twist left right to just press n pull up.
@cfmoto haha
Super nice! But price is a killer, would preffer yamaha,tiger or the upcoming transalph
Looking forward for QJ SRT 800 X review to compare with

Which ktm? We did a 1290 adventure previously!

How come this bike cost sgd28k so much in Sg... Other country selling at sgd19k... 28ksgd why not go get a jp bike.
welcome to singapore
SGD 28k....woooohhh mahal juga
Fuel economy is not that good
It's actually on par with 250cc dual sports during heavy riding. So depends how you look at it.

Walaweh ❗✌🏻
Pls try with 186cm person to ride pls.

the design of the crash bar looks like a knee breaker to me🤔
Those not rounded edges will cause it to plant into tarmac in the event of a crash and transfer most of the energy to the frame.
Half price of Africa twin
Are you kidding me? S$28,000 without COE? Almost double their selling price in China!
Taxes 🥲🥲🥲
