Here comes China. The finish on this bike looks way better than when I first got my Suzuki SV1000. I think CFMOTO is going to rattle a few cages when the 675cc Triple and 500cc Four hit our shores. It's like watching the rise of Kia or Hyundai. The company has excellent R&D and a lot of manufacturing resources at hand. I'm glad there's a new kid on the block.

They still have quite a ways to go. Hyundai/Kia still have issues (Just got rid my Elantra N thank god, it started falling apart at 20k miles, stock). My issues with the CF450 is cost, unknown reliability, and support compared to other brands. Why would you spend that amount of money when you could buy other bikes that you know won't have issues with for less money like the Ninja 400?

@@LordHolley I agree in part, but these companies are positioning themselves, either through partial/full acquisition of key motorcycle components companies as well as major collaborative projects. Both KTM and Yamaha are strong partnerships as well as more lesser known but Incredibly important industry partners like Total Lubrifiants SA of France. I think that the company has a way to come in terms of dealerships and public perception. They really have to start investing in racing. Sports bikes grab next year's boy racers if they win races. Here in Australia the CFMOTO 450 is cheaper than a Ninja 400. Not sure why though.

And they are working hand in hand with both KTM and Yamaha, two extremely reliable brands. CFMoto is going places and is changing how the game is played with so much value in their lineup.

This bike is getting a lot of reviews, but none of them has shown the headlight animation whenever you turn on the ignition. It’s a small detail but kinda cool!

My mind is made up, i take my endorsement test in 3 weeks and just took the msf course so i think ill chose this bike over the ninja

@@kankit230 You're missing the market of the 450SS.... It's literally 35-40% lower cost than the Aprilia, depending on the promotions running.

You can move the shift linkage forward to the next position and it changes the shifting to gp one up five down

Glad you all are OK

Excellent review and beautiful bike. Stay safe and enjoy. PEACE

Very detailed explanation, if you could have released this video at least a month earlier, you would definitely have a lot more views than you do now.

@@hoagiemoto Take care of yourself and stay safe. CFMOTO has released their new three-cylinder 675SR (guessing at least 110+HP) and four-cylinder 500SR (85HP), hope to see your reviews in the future.

I've looked at both the Kawasaki 400 looks nice but I don't think it sounds as good as the CF Moto. There would be more aftermarket parts for the 400 to customize it. CF Moto not so much but I have seen aftermarket exhaust there could be more but idk 🤷🏼‍♂️ hope that helps at all lol
