In China it’s not even close, Duke 790 has TC and it’s quicker to be honest, and the handling is sharper( which some might not even like) but it’s almost twice the money, and it’s very KTMish if you know what I’m talking about) if the price would be the same I would go with Duke, but taking the difference- (4400$ with no tax) NK800 any day of the week)
Even though it’s big but I don’t think it’s too valuable, but the pure look of it might be seductive for robbers. To be honest I think that NK800 will be a vivid target for people who wanna get it in this way regardless of the configuration. Btw how much does it cost where you are?
Great choice Fun fact, the more I ride it the more I like this bike, in fact I love it more than KTM790 wich I rode for a month, I prefer ergonomics of 800 more, and it’s waaaay better for wheelies, and I love the front fork more too) it’s more durable and suitable for a city with bumps on asphalt compared to KTM, and even though it has no TCS I think it’s not the end of the world) and gearbox feels better) actually there are so much new information that I’m thinking about the third video on it😂😂😂
@@eddywave3315 yep, aaaaand I just picked it up today. Took it out for my first time ever ride. Have to say I need some time to get used to the electric throttle, other than that, surprisingly easy to ride, the torque meets my expectations. I definitely love to try at the twistiess someday.
@@jackmar9249 oh man) I’m truly happy for you! I hope you will have great time with NK800, hope it will never disappoint you, and I’m sure the throttle will be the second nature in no time for you! What color/dash size did you pick?
@@eddywave3315 I got the advance model in white, sort of matching with my gears a little bit plus, mix and match stands out better tho. Anyway, thanks for for your shares! Will wait for your next coming video on the 800nk if you were planning to. 😉
I test rode this a couple weeks back. Pretty nice. I've never done a wheelie before, but trying to teach myself. The test ride route was short but I was out of sight from the dealer and managed to get the front wheel up slightly. lol. Fun but dumb. I might've had to buy the bike if anything happened.
Now as you mentioned this, I learn how to do wheelies on NK800 to) I use second gear(clutch up)at 35-50 km/h speed on sport mode, but I started on rain mode and overtime jumped to street and eventually to sport) you can learn on the first gear too but I wouldn’t try it on sport mode at least for the first time) With that being said, NK is powerful enough to do power wheelies, so you can pretty much learn everything you want! NK800 is a great bike, the more I ride the more I like it)
In the United States, the ADVANCED model has not arrived yet, I am very anxious to have one with me, those of the dealership still do not say when it will arrive, but I hope it will be very soon
In China CFmoto has already released 800NK with TC and WC (the video is on this channel) hope all these bikes will be available in US soon! I got myself 5 inch NK800 and I love it, but in China it has pretty much everything Advanced model has, like quick shifter and stuff, let me know when it gets there🤝
9 times out of 10 I see 5 inch dash, people love it more) Fun fact: in the beginning CFMOTO was selling 5 inch model for 46900 and now due to the demand its 48580, the big dash model was and is 49980.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o I have nk250 from 2018, it has a colored dash( might be 4.3-5 inches) the bike is still nimble and fun, but that dash is a pain in the ass, it’s glowing all the time, doesn’t show me gears properly, so once it’s new it’s attractive and useful, the question is how is it going to work in 3,5-10 years. Only time can tell, let’s hope that on newer models it will be more reliable and better made in general))$
Thank you🤜🤛 It’s a bit wider then KTM 790 Duke, and more narrow then z900 and mt09, in my opinion this is a great bike for a city and lane splitting, probably one of the best along with Duke 790/890 in the class for the job!
I'm trying to decide between this one and MT07, what would you recommend? I wanted to by Yamaha but I found out recently about 800NK and it really got my attention.
This is a really hard choice to make, Yamaha is more reliable, less powerful, has less fancy features, but it’s Yamaha, and it still has bunch of power for a city, great bike which has proved itself NK 800 more power, better brakes more features (tft dash, quick shifter, power modes ride by wire throttle steering damper…) in China NK is 7000$ meanwhile mt07 is 10-12000$ so the choice is obviously NK But if these bikes would be sold with the same price I would get MT 07, coz I love Yamaha, even though on paper NK is times better then MT 07
@@eddywave3315 Thank you for your opinion and detailed comparison. Since I'm a beginner, I would rather have more features and I think I will give a chance to the "underdog". Price difference here in Europe is not that big but Yamaha is still around $1000 more expensive than NK.
@@jediajvarsrbine I still love NK 800, you will not be disappointed, and it looks great, and it’s still at least as reliable as KTM Duke790. Hope you like it, and please tell me what you think of it once you get it🤝🤜🤛
bro, I do have a request... do review the Benelli Tnt899....I have the old version but the new version 2022 i think is it?... lack of information and also they made some great update like adding dry sump, no more use of alternator.... Please review it 😁
I am really interested in TNT899, I’ve seen it only once in the showroom, of course if I can, I’ll review this one, the biggest challenge is to find one😅
I just test rode one today. I liked the handling. Takes only half the effort required on my bike to lean into corners. But on a straight line, I like my bike better (cb900 hornet). Still giving it a 2nd thought cos the deal looks tempting 🤔 what would you think about its reliability?
By now, no problems whatsoever, but all the bikes around have no more then 10000km on them, i tried many older CFMOTOs (5-7 years old ones) and they don’t feel so good to be honest, dashboards don’t work properly, handling is stiff, electronics is lagging, maybe people who rode them didn’t maintain them well enough, but still… But I think they weren’t great bikes in the first place. These new CFMOTO feel great, and I believe they’ve made an incredible leap forward, so I hope in future bikes will not let us down✊✊✊
I own a nk300….great bike in town. 70 mpg…..tell me, does Honda come with a free downloadable app that connects to the bike and tracks it’s position. No I don’t think so.
It might look more attractive for a thief, but I don’t thing it’s very valuable) I mean it isn’t IPad, the price of it is no more then a 100$. But you know your hood better of course, maybe in some countries 5inch dash is safer
@@eddywave3315not everyone knows the value of the screen, ppl just grab whatever they can grab as long as they think it can be sold for some money because its an electronic screen, it will be stolen. it doesn't cost them but costs us some money and massive inconvenience. sadly that's how it is nowadays 😒
@@X-cript perhaps this is what can happen, then smaller dash is the way to go, luckily these two models are almost the same and you don’t lose a lot by buying a 5 inch dash one. But unfortunately even that one might be stolen…
I'm glad you enjoy your bike, but for a little more than 1k US you get a Z900 that will kick this bikes behind and last forever. Japanese quality through and through.
Not every country can obtain a motorcycle with a larger displacement at the lowest price like the United States. To give a slightly exaggerated example, a motorcycle sells for $5,000 in the United States. In other countries, due to various reasons, it It even costs US$10,000 to buy the same motorcycle, but the price of this 800NK is only US$5,000. Can you understand what I mean? ?
To be honest with you, I loved z900, and it’s faster than NK800, and has more features, but in China it’s not a budget bike) NK800 - 7000$ z900 16000$+) it got cheaper recently These are different bikes, NK 800 sounds like mt 07, less power but more fun, it’s a great toy) meanwhile z900 doesn’t feel like a toy, bunch of power, great for twistiest super smooth and stable + Japanese quality, in the US I would buy it over other naked bikes 100%
I agree. Not too long ago you could buy a new last year's model Z for a reduced price of $7500 usd. I have a Z900 RS and a new SV650 and the Z puts them to shame. The SV is only $1400 less. I had a '20 MT09 and I prefer the Z. I apologize for disparaging your bike. Enjoy it and ride safe.@@eddywave3315
@@eddywave3315 here in Malaysia, the NK800 is going for 38,888$ (Malaysia only has the advance version) while the Z900 is 44,000$. So the NK800 is abit hard to justify
Well, I can try, you can find my Instagram dizi_mini , you can send me all the info, I’ll send you pictures of what they have to offer Just need to find the way to deliver it to the US)
