My parents and I went to go look at bikes and I specifically wanted to see one of these. My mom saw this and was like "This was the bike I saw the other day and tried explaining it! It looks so cool, like a baby Ducati!." But, I think I am going to get one. It fit me way better than the RC390 and Ninja 400. I also liked the 700 CL-X Sport and Heritage. It was also fun because it was the first time in over 15 years we all went to go look at bikes together. My dad wanted to be with me when I got my first bike, but I lived in Alaska at the time and he lived in Texas. Now we are all in Texas and he is going to go riding with me the day I get my bike.

I bought a 450ss as my first bike a couple weeks ago. It's been really fun to learn on. 👍Most mods are coming out of china and take a few weeks to ship but i think that will change before too long.

My brother got his 2 days ago, and I drove it 120 miles home for him as he doesnt have his endorsement yet. I WISH this bike existed when I first started riding. Ive ridden dozens of different bikes and TYPES of bikes. This has been the absolute BEST under 600cc motorcycle I've ever ridden.

Two days ago i bought my 450sr! i am so happy with this bike!

My favorite thing about this bike is aesthetically it looks NEW. If you look at the other big brands, their bikes have looked the same for a decade. The average person couldn’t tell the different between a 2013 and a 2023. Innovation encourages innovation, whether you like CFMoto or not, this bike will incentivize the other brands to step up their game.

OC: Hey, I saw my video in your video! Happy to see the community is rallying around the 450SS. There were doubters, and there are still haters, but I believe the future is bright for the 450SS. ☀️😎 CFMOTO is here to play, so let’s play. 💪

I thoroughly appreciate your investment in these bikes to ensure that new riders such as myself can make informed decisions. You have answered questions I didn't even think to ask along with the ones I have been asking. You are amazing! OC!!

Thanks for another great video on the 450SS. I just got my cycle endorsement and am looking for a first bike. I originally wanted a Grom, but saw a Papio in a dealership, which led me to look into the CF Moto brand. Fell in love with the 450 and tomorrow I'm hopefully going back to check one out, see if I fit on it, etc. Hopefully spring of '24, I'll be riding my own. Thanks again!

I already got a crash cage and exhaust from Ali express. Got my wife the same 450ss as her first bike down here in Mississippi!

I'm in Australia but like your points it will take time to see how it stands up to life, so I'll keep watching to see how it travels and lasts

Getting my endorsement in a few weeks, went on a fact finding mission to a few dealerships and love the look and non-moving feel on this thing, also I took an intro rider course on a cfmoto 300 and loved that too

My local dealership that’s about 10 miles from me sells the CFMoto 450 SS. They had about seven on the floor. Such a beautiful bike. They were incredibly nice as well and said they were selling the 450 SS like crazy

I have a ZX6 as my track bike...but I really want one of these as a cheap second track bike. It would be a fun little bike that would be cheap to operate at the track.

Picked mine up yesterday! Last blue and white one in the whole state of Arkansas!

Great value motorcycle IMO. I've got a dealer 4 miles from me, and my wife stepped up from a 2019 CBR300R to this CFM450SS- it's been great so far.

coming from someone who's first was a 2009 ninja 250.. i'm happy to say this is my second buy im buying in two weeks. was torn between the ninja 400 and this. the 400 was supposed to be my first bike but my stepdad forced me with the 250.

I'm not a sportsbike fan but I can't wrap my head around it how amazing this bike looks... 🤩🤩

As for reliability, there's a reason why the oil filter you showed says it fits a line of KTM motorcycles. It's a story as old as time, a big company starts having components or entire products made in Japan, China or India and then about 10 years later that country springs up as a manufacturer that challenges or even replaces the original company that basically taught them how to build a quality product in the first place.

I was shocked to see a Cfmoto dealer in my little podunk town in the middle of Ohio. Just picked mine up about 4 weeks ago, loving it!

YES more 450ss specific vids please. I am enjoying my 300nk as my daily to keep miles off my Ram, and looking at a 700CLX or an Aprilia RS660. So many good bikes right now, I just can't pick one. Oh, and the 450sr-s and the 800nk...I hate this.

Oddly enough, there are 6 CFMoto dealers within an hour of my house. There are only 2 Yamaha within that range. I normally do all my own maintenance including valve adjustments, so a dealer really isn't a biggie for me. Usually you can find parts online for less.

I'm a beginner rider and I love the cruisers. However I'm seriously thinking of buying one CF Moto. Great price and 5 years warranty here in Belgium, besides the quality.

Your advice on the dealer network is spot on. It is one reason why I haven't gone to look at an Indian Scout or a Triumph since the closest Indian dealer is almost two hours away. The closest Triumph dealership is just over an hour away. Whereas are there are several Japanese dealerships in my metro area plus two Harley dealers. One of the Japanese dealerships also sells CFMoto and BMW motorcycles. Repair and parts availability is very important.

I love my CFMOTO 450SS I NEVER rode before and been riding to work everyday lol. Been getting compliments every time I’m riding

Was waiting for this video from you dude! Would love to see more on this bike. In Europe they come with a 5 year warranty wich is more than any other manufacturer.

im rlly glad to see this bike doing well. dont ride yet, but when i can afford it, imma get this bike.

I plan on getting this bike over the Ninja 400 as my first bike.

OC - Yes. Gimmi more of this. Give us a whole series of videos of you crossing the country. Maybe stop and do some little events here and there if you can afford it. Go race a track or something.

Ok,Chase no need to have to worry about OEM parts. There's another YouTuner who has it figuured out. I'll put his page here for you if you need additional help for the CF-Moto.

I love everything about this bike other than the size. I am 6' 220lbs and I currently own a 700 CL-X and love it. I would like to see them make a 700ss as the 450 is just a bit small and underpowered for me. But no doubt I love my CL-X. I also ride a Harley EG.

I really hope you keep making videos about this bike! I started watching you years ago around the time of the ultimate garage build and the dual vlogs and since then i wanted a motorcycle. Finally decided it was time to get a 450 and I’ve loved it ever since i got it!

Both BMW and CFMOTO dealerships are about a 10 minute drive away from our home :) I have a home in the Fredericksburg, Va area and Extreme Powersports, located on Lafayette Blvd has both the KTM brand and CFMOTO brand. Then I have Morton's BMW in close proximity to Extreme Powersport, located on Route 1(Patriot Highway). So, I have the best of both worlds :) ...Personally, I would not do Suzuki, Aprilia, or Ducati simply because the dealerships are simply too far to have something fixed or for maintenance..

There's a good amount of aftermarket parts for the CFMoto 450SR/SS in Asia. Most people buy aftermarket parts online anyway.

Bought this bike one month ago! This is my first bike so I cant compare it to any other besides just sitting on the competetors at dealerships, But, I have loved all 500 miles I have put on this bike! So many people shout out "nice bike" or "that bike is sick"! Please everyone wake up and realize theres no sport bike close to this one at this price point!

I'd recommend all riders to learn your bike and how to basic service it yourself. As a certified auto mechanic I can say I do my own service now even on my bikes. It pays, literally and figuratively. Granted I can't do balancing because I don't have a machine, but that's about all I can't do myself. This bike is 100% worth of you can service it yourself, and it's 80% worth if you can't and you're not close to a Shop.

OC: I think that over time CFMoto will prove their a reliable brand. After all I do believe KTM has CFMoto building and assembling a few of their bikes. Pretty sure the reliability questions come from the history of Chinese motorcycles and scooters being spotty at best. With a decent size group of people being burned by bikes made with substandard parts and materials and having overall poor fitment and finish to the bike. But off the bat the 450SS looks to be the best looking lower CC beginner bike on the market and with time we'll definitely see floods of aftermarket support probably close to the kinda support the MT07 receives as dealers can't keep that bike in stock. By that time I'm sure all reliability concerns about the 450SS will be put to rest.

Glad we have Southeastern Motorcycle in Savannah who is a CFMOTO dealer.

If you’re in the Saint Louis, MO area, go to Chesterfield, Saint Louis Powersports. Daryll will take good care of you. Great experience. IXIL has officially released their slip on Exhaust for the CFmoto 450SS. Aftermarket parts are already becoming more prominently available. It’s gonna start rolling out fast now.

I’d love to see more about the display and the app! Strongly considering picking one of these up within the next couple weeks! OC!

I also live in Atlanta area and the dealer you go is the closest one to me. I bought the CLX 700 sport for a very good price and I am buying one of the 450SS too. Most of the points mentioned in the video i have researched. So far, very, very happy with my first cfmoto bike.

If someone is ok with buying a KTM, then they should be ok with buying this bike. CF Moto and KTM have partnered together to make these new bikes.

Ktm owns 49% of cf moto. The Ibex 800 is the ktm 790 engine made by cf moto. I'm thinking the 450ss has ktm DNA too weather that's a good or bad thing. I've had good luck with my ktm dirt bikes.

They're gonna make a big sport bike soon. 2025ish. They have deals with component mfgs that are beyond legit. At $10k, a balls-out cf moto with WP suspension and Brembos on board is an outside maybe. North of $10k, an all-around pass I'm afraid. The value and the style are the only reason to consider this over something (anything) else. The 450SS has that in spades. If the value on their big bike isn't there, well, why not just have a sport bike from someone you've heard of? The value is their best card to play.

For every CFMOTO sold the Big 4 get nervous, so I'm expecting 2025 to be a SPECTACULAR year for customers. There are 4 dealerships in California, all in the Los Angeles area, so at least 8 hour drive from me, whereas my two Big 4 dealerships are literally 5 minute drive from me. 2025 is going to be an INSANELY amazing year for buyers.

Thinking about getting one of these just to get back on two wheels, I’m sure 50 hp is just enough to have some fun with. Could always go down a tooth in the front depending on the gearing

Great content! It really strengthened my thought about join the CF Moto family once I get my endorsement❤

CFMoto are normally sold at the KTM dealership as is GasGas and Husqvarna generally in Europe and Australia and New Zealand

My driving school actually had one .Smooth ride .Felt in love with it

I didn't buy a CFMoto expressly because the local "dealer" only would work on CFMoto ATV's. It is certainly something to look for when making travel plans that not all dealers of a brand will even look at your motorcycle, warranty or no.

I am about to buy this bike next week, can't wait to ride it!

I think that if you have the capability to do so, people will want to see and hear different exhaust options for this be it a simple slip-on to full header back systems. Other things people might want to see is what performance increases are afforded by these different systems and whether they required a remap of the ECU. What tail tidy kits are available and how do they look? I know you kinda put in a plug for R&G, but TST Industries offers one as well along with different rear signal options that you can package in. What I think would be truly awesome is if CF Moto offered the undercarriage cowl as a standalone part that could be integrated into the NK model with a scoop behind the front wheel. I would love to see more options for Street Fighter builds for the NK as well. The beauty of these two bikes is that they are already very good looking machines and utilize the exact same chassis so retro-fitting different components between the two should be easy breezy. The question of reliability IMO is moot because the engines themselves have already been proven in the KTM machines. I am curious to see how long it will be before there is a KTM model rocking the 450 mill? It has all kinds of advantages over the 390 and shows immense potential in the market. I think it helps that CF Moto has a former Ducati engineer as a chief design consultant for their Street division of bikes that while most of them share powerplants with their KTM partners they have a distinct look and fit & finish that sets them apart from being a rebadged KTM offering. Gotta love options.

I do like the looks of this bike. The fairing pucks are a nice touch too. I seem to remember the old Honda ST1100 had a similar arrangement on the fairing lowers. I wonder with the CFMoto, will the pucks touch down before the wings?

450sr/ss owners in the Philippines be like : people talking about reliability of cf moto? 🤪 Most of us have morethan 10,000km on our bikes with no major issue in engine and performance😂 i myself didn’t encounter any issues beside air in rear breaking system 😂 . We use it as our daily bikes and track bike not to mention our road and traffic is one of the worst in asia lol.

When a company conducts US market product penetration through flooding RU-vid with paid & scripted infomercials from known personalities, my suspicion meter pegs out & unfortunately, many of us lose trust in/side eye the RU-vidrs we've come to like...I understand, gotta make a living.

19:16 A 90 day warranty on the wheel and steering bearings is pretty bad. I would expect those to last at least a year if not two easy

White color option gives some futuristic tron or drone vibes while black gives night falcon vibes. Hard to choose which one 😩.

All that is on Ali Express, Amazon, and Dealers within 2-3 months post offering. Amazon offers All OEM fairings, tanks, seats, winshields.

Love the video. I saw it at the dealership in my town. The 450 ss looks awesome. I have the clx sport. Looks like it is time to add the 450 ss.

Bro, please review a husqvarna 701 supermoto! I don’t think anyone does a review as thorough as you

Very good vdo, once again. I've been a rider for 34 years and have a very strong liking for Japanese bikes. I've gotten older and you know, as we get older, we stick to our positions, our comfort, our safety, our conservative spirit... Japanese bikes have proved their worth for decades and, as you say, it's not by doing a few thousand kilometers on these new Chinese bikes that we'll have any idea of their long-term reliability in terms of years but... times have changed and so has technology. I don't claim to be a mechanic, but I have four Japanese motorcycles that I take great care of and maintain with passion. My roots in these brands are deep-rooted, so I don't yet know if I could invest in this CFMoto company, although I feel it deserves my trust... Their low prices and five-year warranty have me seriously thinking about it. Time, reflection and videos promoting them will guide me towards them or not, I'll see. In any case, watching your vdo's about this brand, guides me and informs me very well. Keep up the good work! Thanks a lot.

I saw this bike last week for the first time and I was amazed at the looks of it. I have never heard of it before.

This sounds kinda rude but I think these bikes are some of the best and coolest things that came out of china and I hope to see more support for cf in the us

Me chilling with a dealership 5 minutes away from my house

OC! I want the Nebula White 450SS as my first beginner bike, but the supply says nope! My closest dealership (20ish miles away) sold both 450s in two hours of putting them on the showroom floor and they're not expecting more for months! There are 4 other dealerships within 100 miles and they're all sold out. I've only seen one 450SS in the wild and it looks great. Thanks @chaseontwowheels for putting out videos for me to drool at!

I am shook! I wanted an MT 07 for about three months now. I have close to 18 months experience on smaller displacement bikes but I was so close to making my decision on the upgrade. Seeing the cf moto 450 NK REALLY MESSED ME UP HAHAHAHA. Now I’m indecisive. I hope Yamaha makes an MT05 hahaha I think it would be the perfect bike 🤞🏽

I would like to see you go sport touring on the 450 SS, and I would like to see you go on a long weekend camping trip on the 450 SS.

The NK450 is for sale here in the Philippines. Will it come out in the U.S.? If it is can't wait for you to review it.

I'm actually looking at getting one of these as my second street bike

Ooo, plz do a 450ss vs r7, since you've done so much beginner content on an r7 😋

2 mins in "huh, kinda looks like GA", 3 mins in "huh, kinda looks like the same motor store I passed through and saw the cfmoto 450 at" 4 mins in "oh yeah that's GA"

CF Moto is actually quite experienced in making motorcycles. They are the main manufacturer of KTM motorcycles for the China market. The Ibex 800 is literally using the engine of the KTM Duke 790

I loved your video man, I'm definitely buying this bike. Great advice, great youtuber, great bike :]

Few hundred miles.... Bish I got 2300 on mine in the first month of owning and love it.

Sometimes people need to waste money on a cheap bike to understand soft bolts... Have fun!

in my country and im sure this would be the same for any country. Resell value on any CFMOTO motorcycle is just bad. Something major to consider specially when investing in 400cc bikes and you know you gonna get something bigger later on.

Definitely getting this as my first bike. I've heard very great reviews and that look and technology it holds is mesmerizing. That Fume though. I might look into that. Good highs, good lows! Ride safe, brother!

Most of the people who can service a cfmoto bike, I have nearly 3 within an hour or less from my house.. Personally If I was going to get a cfmoto it would either be the 650 and 700 naked bikes or the ibex 800 adventure bikes. Those adventure bikes make more sense to me overall, since a lot of the roads here in WV are half gravel and off road trails everywhere, not to mention the curvy mountain roads all over the place here. But if I didn't want to go off road, those naked 650 and 700's are a nice medium ground not as peppy as a liter bike, but not as slow and cumbersome on the inclines for the mountain roads, and have a nice sitting position for longer rides. I've been looking into them for months, they're pretty good price compared to the Suzuki or Honda type bikes. I feel if you're going to get an Adventure bike though, rather than being a trailer queen and afraid to get a scratch on it, you want to ride it like you stole it off road, ding it, bang it up, and ride those trails like they where meant to be rode, then go on road and ride home, thats my thought. So the price is a nice medium for me. Not too expensive where I'm worried how much the parts are going to be to repair it, but not cheap where they will break cause they're flimsy cheap parts. So That's most likely what I'm going to get this coming spring when I get my taxes.

Glad I saw this video. Closest cfmoto dealership to me is in Nashville, over 2 hours away. Not dealing with that lol

OC. I'm not gonna lie. I'm listening to this at work and I was like is he riding a R1 or MT10 while talking about the CF moto? The bike sounds great!

Yeah we got it, CFmoto and you are friends. But People love channels with honest opinions not paid sales talks, then I would only visit their site.

I have a papio. I took advice from a lot of people. So I started with a papio but instantly regret it. It was slow af and I’m a beginner lol but dam that shit slow.

There's a good chance I'll be grabbing this beauty soonish. On top of all pros, it's cheaper than anything in its range (at least here in the balkans). All of the listed cons in this vid do not apply at this point. The only reason why anyone would think twice is the whole stigma over "baah baaah chinese product". But... I remember when the same was being said about japanese bikes and look where we are now.

i have a good reason why i want this bike cause of "cfmoto 450 sr vanhool exhaust" it sounds so good

As far as dealer networks, surprisingly, there is a cfmoto dealership an hour away from my hometown. And I live at the southernmost tip of Texas, smack dab to the border.

OC. I can't wait to see the mods you put on this bike. Are you thinking of doing a tune if possible?

My most favorite channel when it comes to motorcycle. Thank you for the details. I'm thinking whats the best for me if its R3 or CFmoto. Watching from the Philippines

OC! I really hope to get this as my first street bike. Just gotta convince the wife to let me xD. Ride safe and enjoy everyone! And thank you Chase for all these detailed videos you do.

OC: idiots unite! 😎🤙🏼😆 Also CFMOTO, please bring the PAPIO XO-1 to the states 🙏🏼

After your last video, first thing, I checked to see where a dealer would be. It is almost 6 hours away for me. There is one closer but I'd have to cross the boarder into America from Canada. Cool as it is... other brands are around me almost like gas stations. They're everywhere. if there were more dealers, it would make this bike go much higher on my list.

I crashed my 450SS a month ago but when I did the only things that were damaged are the fairings and the built-in frame slider

Update there is one dealer in Pensacola Florida I have a friend that is a authorized dealer for them OEM is the shop if anyone lives near Pensacola and is interested in these bikes

Fabulous bike! I'm really tempted. But better colour schemes would be good IMHO. I do know that CF Moto have been producing ADVs for some years. And the 650 types have an engine which is a copy of the Kawasaki Ninja 650/ER6 engine and that's a proven design. So I would be confident that these bikes will be 'reliable' (as much as any bike is). Could be the one for me (???)

New subscriber and I love what you’re putting out! Thanks for the work my friend! 🏍️

I have a dealer 20 minutes from my house thankfully. I’d love to get one eventually!

OC, it's January 2024. Looking for 800nk videos when you come back. Hope you are enjoying your time

No 15 year old CFMotos in the US? Da hell is that sitting in my driveway? It's even in my last video. CFMoto is not new to the US. I am currently riding a 2009 CFMoto V5. CFMoto had the V3 and the V5 from I think 2003 to 2010 when they were all recalled for legal reasons. Having an old one, I like lt. It's probably top of the line for a china bike. But it's clearly a china bike an I would not pay much for a new one. It would have to beat Royal Enfield prices by about half for me to buy one new. Mainly because they don't offer parts for the one I have. So I would not expect long term parts availability on anything else they sell.

I read the CFMoto 450NK manual and it says air filter replacement should only be done by an authorized dealer with no instructions on how the owner can do it.

*unsheathes sword* "Success! We lived another day! Haha!" How I feel everyday riding lol

OC: test rode this bike the other day and fell in love. Could you do a track day video?? 👀
