Thanks for CF 450MT review Mr Makina your the best motorbike reviewer on youtube your detailed and professional with genuine testing and bike analysis in all critical areas of motorbike systems and features and after testing numerous machines you have rode I concur with your opinions.
unbiased review trademark po yun ni Sir Zack. Thank you po. Im looking forward to owning this machine . peace po sa lahat regards to all from Misamis Oriental. ✌️👍
The only issue I still have with CFMoto is the lack of dealerships away from metro manila. Layo pa ng dadayuhin for CFMoto and if you need OEM parts or if need casa PMS not to void warranty lugi. Ung dapat na tipid with their prices is napunta sa gas, tolls and time spent.
exactly. Cebu is a classic example. We have the same lousy dealer here for CF Moto and Kawasaki. I have had 2 Kawasaki big bikes thru this dealer (still have one of them). Getting spares parts or even a return call/SMS/message about parts from them just NEVER happened. I gave up and had to buy parts directly from Kawasaki HQ in Luzon (if they weren't on Shopee/Lazada). A slow option but had no choice. So I do NOT want to risk getting a CF Moto from this same dealer network.
Honestly one of the best looking adv bikes released in the recent years, followed by the latest Himalayan 450, in my books. Maybe that's because I really like KLRs, and this reminds me of that. Sub-500cc adv bikes I think are the perfect adventure machines to use here in the PH - just heavy enough for expressways but still light enough for offroad riding, which also lends to better fuel mileage along with a smaller yet powerful enough engine compared to 650s and liter bikes. If I was in the market for one right now and have the money to burn, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.
The Perfect Bike for the Philippine Roads. Not too big not too small. Can do highway speeds, pwde din medjo hard off road kse di mabigat unlike most ADV Bikes. Dahil karamihan sa mga tourist spots sa pinas ay dinadaan talaga ng off road. Kya dabest para sakin to
Thx for the review. I have been watching western (English) guys from big channels. I find these review lazy, it's not 150 hp, no cruise control, no modes.....so it's junk. You have a good approach to it. Few comments or suggestions, u mention clutch pull, say it has adjustable levers. On suspension, say it's fully adjustable. Folding gear and shifter foot controls. Basically bit more details.......Yes some nicer colors would be nice....Thx again.
Because they have bigger, better roads. A big expensive adventure bike is suitable for them. Here in the Philippines we have short shitty roads. The smaller package makes it ideal for going through traffic and tackling med to hard off road. A big adventure bike would just topple down or get stucked in the traffic.
You guys are missing my point. First of all I gave a compliment to the reviewer, he did nice job (missing little useful details here and there). I am 55 years old, I live in Indonesia, I have CRF150L, Rally 300, CB150X, Papio XO1, Royal Hunter 350 and GT650. I ride in Europe on my vacations, last year I did Morocco desert trip on Tenere (it became terrible, too heavy beast in the sand). Real ADV ride doesn't require a big, full off electronics, expensive, and with questionable reliability shit bike that are being produced by the "big" names. But this is what is being produced and forced down on us the riders. Most riders are brained washed believing that these bikes are for them, that these bikes will allow them to have true and fun adventures. This is partially due to the detached, arrogant, lazy and maybe paid for reviews, magazine articles.......from the big publications. I am getting the MT 450 for my European trips, I am looking for honest, real world based reviews/information. So far, the "western" reviews are as always, its beginners bike, no rider modes, no this or that. It's only 45hp, bla bla bla. I don't understand why you guys don't see that. I don't understand why u don't take a bit more pride in our (real world, super cool Asian riding environment) opinions/requirements. The west has lost its mind, the west is dying. Again, thx for a nice review.
agree dun sa point m sir na sna meron option na mas road oriented, focused sa offroad so far e, hoping next bike ng 450 series e neo-retro nmn or the likes parang speed400 ng triumph
He tenido motos trial, trail y maxitrail desde hace 45 años. La CFMoto MT 450, en mi opinión posee potencia suficiente para casi todo, buen equipamiento de serie, larga autonomía, capacidad de carga viajera, carenados austeros pero suficientes, actualizaciones de software vía app de móvil, ABS y DSC desconectables, tubeless, filtro de aire fácilmente accesible, buena ergonomía, manetas regulables, pantalla ajustable, tomas de energía, escape alto, capacidad de carga, subchasis desmontable, estriberas, cambio, y espejos retráctiles, suspensiones largas solventes y adecuadas para uso mixto, electrónica comedida, altura de asiento polivalente desde solo 80 a 87 centímetros, distancia libre al suelo, solo 2 o 3 centímetros menos que las más caras motos referencias del maxitrail y sobre el papel buenos materiales y acabados. A mí personalmente, por mi uso predominantemente asfáltico, me gustaría con opción a llantas de aleación, pero es casi perfecta. En mi opinión, esta CFMoto 450 MT es, ¡por fin!, como aquellas austeras y fiables Dominator, XTs, DRs, VStrom, KLEs, DRZs, Pegaso, Africa Twin, GS650s de los 80s-90s pero inyectada, modernizada, equipada, con gran autonomía, cómoda y bicilíndrica. (¿Unicornio?). No hay una sola moto en el mercado con esas características de serie. Que yo sepa, tampoco hay motos que, aun costando más de 20.000 euros, tras dotarlas de similares características que esta CFMoto MT, que no pesen algo vestidas, habitables y equipada 220-280 kilos. La CFMOTO 450 MT es la moto casi perfecta que los japoneses no han querido fabricar. Solo le falta ofrecer Quickshifter y color verde que me encanta para moto trail. 🙏😊 Incluso los japoneses, tendrían que tomar ejemplo en cuanto a diseño y equipamiento de serie. Habrá que esperar a ver su fiabilidad, intervalos de mantenimiento y precio. Estas nuevas motos chinas, tienen actualmente una relación calidad precio muchísimo mejor que las japonesas. Esta CFMoto 450 es lo que podía haber sido la ansiada y abortada KTM 490 Adventure presuntamente fabricada en India por Bajaj, que asoma la patita en otra ventanilla asiática del también socio colaborador de KTM CFMoto. Con la marca austriaca, probablemente, hubiese salido con algún caballo más y algún kilo de menos. Hay muchísima expectación en Iberoamérica, Asia y Europa sobre esta CFMoto 450 MT. Creo que solo la KTM 390 Adventure, la Honda CB500X y la RE Himalayan II, están a la altura, aunque con distintos enfoques. No son motos endureras sino traileras asfálticas con algunas posibilidades camperas. Con algo de dinero se pueden camperizar, pero en mi opinión, siguen siendo motos muy pesadas para los estándares del off road duro. En general, no somos Pol Tarrés ni tenemos sus repuestos y asistencias. 😅 Trail duro o enduro ligero y poco más fuera de lo negro. Aunque muy contento tras 20.000 kms con mi 390 Adv, la altura excesiva del asiento, a 85.5 centímetros del suelo, a veces se me hace incómoda e incluso peligrosa. Los chinos lo están haciendo muy bien en estas categorías, cubriendo nichos de mercado a precios razonables. El peso excesivo de las maxitrail, nos amarga el uso utilitario, la ruta, la salida, el aparcamiento o el alzamiento de la moto del suelo cuando cae, y es por esto y las restricciones e imposiciones globalistas y agendatarias que, en Occidente, estas comedidas cilindradas se están convirtiendo en maxiventas y motos lógicas para los que van y para los que volvemos. Me encanta esa 450 MT y estaré atento a su evolución a lo largo del próximo año. Saludos desde España. ✌
I know Zach is around 6' tall and I noticed while he was standing up his knees were bent and he was still hunched down over the front. Are the bars too low for stand-up riding for 6' and up riders (ie. risers needed or is there a high-handlebar option from the factory) ?
si royal enfield himalayan at etong si cf moto 450mt ang pinag iisipan kong bilhin. ang pinaka main factor sakin ay yung comfort at yung CENTER STAND option dahil limited ang parking dito sa amin
Here’s the million dollar question, how does the CFMoto rate to any 600cc category for filtering traffic, considering they are same physical size bikes & weights?
A more road oriented variant would be nice with just the right height and suspension travel para sa local rough roads would be nice. Maybe even make it a bit lighter with a lower center of gravity. It is touted as a "light"adventure bike pero puro dry weight ang quoted s specs.
This could have been a really good competitor to the Himalayan 450 in India, Well probably its gonna be fighting with the Him 450 in Europe and Austrailia.
Grabe, to think na mas magaan ito ng 30 kilos compared sa 400NK 😳 The most complete 400cc-class MC out right now. Genuinely surprised about it having tubeless spokes as well. Parang ready na for Luzon loop out-of-the-box. Hopefully wala namang long-term problems ang 450-platform nila.
First batch 450sr owner here. No problem sa engine. Dami na samin nasa 20-30k odo no problem puro wear and tear parts lang pinapalitan. Yung iba samin ginagawa pa pang endurance and race bike a.
Casa dapat nilang paramihin. Bat ako bibili ng motor na ang maintenance at parts sa malayo pa makukuha at maoorder? Eh di bili na lang ako ng motor na may casa sa malapit. Sold na sa aking ang CFMoto 450 MT pero dahil walang casa, pass na lang ako.
If there is an opinion that i trust, it's yours. Your review of the Versys x300 is the perspective i think it's essential for my purchase of this bike, since i have the Versys x300. I have seen quite a few reviewers say that this bike is underpowered, that it lacks controls, and that it's too heavy, yet, those same reviewers think the Himalayan is a great competitor for this bike and I'm like WTF!? Not even comparable in geometry and features, it's like they're biased against bike that don't have a great name yet and they'll nitpick evey minute details.
habang tumatagal lalong gumaganda ang cf moto lalo dadami basher kesyo china bike sirain halos lahat naman ng motorcycle nasisira as long as minor no problem, nasalihan ko na page ng kawazaki yamaha suzuki cf moto napakadami din naman problem lalo na yun ninja 400 at 650 (not zx version) mas madami pa reklamo pati pang adjust ng kadena sa likod nawawala ano ba yan hahaha,
may narinig ka bang "BIG ISSUE" na galing sa mga CFMOTO owners? bukod sa delay na throttle respo at bigat ng NK400 so far wala naman diba? im a big kawasaki fanboy pero di mo pwede ideny na sumasabay na sa BIG4 ang chinese motorcycle.
