I’ve heard nothing but good things about CFMoto. This reminds me of my MT07.

Similar bike but this has more power, or certainly feels like it. Definitely more tech 🧐

I still can’t believe I didn’t know this came with a touch screen 🫣

i think i'm gonna buy this but the advanced version. it has an additional up/down quickshifter, cornering ABS, and traction control. i'm not sure if it misses any tech at that point. it even has cruise control. btw the keyless start also works with your phone, i think you just have to connect it with the cfmoto app. not sure how useful that is, but considering i always have my phone with me, maybe i can leave the fob at home then. probably the only weak point of this bike is the tires. they're decent but there's much better out there. i'll just immediately replace them with some michelin road 6 tires. make it a 10/10 bike right away. edit: forgot the adv version has anti wheelie control too.

I’ve been out on the 650NK that review will be out next week. I’m going to try and get back to Appleyards soon and try some more.

You're a trooper for doing these reviews in the horrendous weather again 😮 As a brand new motorcyclist I have no right to be a traditionalist but... No no no, that screen 😡 We're all square eyed enough these days 😅 Great reaction when you put it in sport mode, think you should review it again when it isn't raining, but good luck predicting that 😂 Great review regardless 👍🏻

Thanks. I am having a bad time with the weather at the mo. Hopefully get some dry rides soon. 🤞

Just bought one. 1 test ride. Done

Good choice 👍

Possibly the best looking new bike and even the aerodynamic features seem to make sense, which is quite rare nowadays. For that price it literally looks like a (fancy) steal.

I agree. Amazing bike.

looks so much better than the KTM, hopefully more reliable as well, and having looked at both brands I think the CFmoto build quality is better than KTM generally and they seem to be generally more reliable

And they are cheaper 👍

Engine-wise I think they will be the same in terms of reliability because Cfmoto is also the one making the 790 now that's why they are allowed to use the 790 frame and engine. And honestly since the year Cfmoto started making the 790 for KTM back in 2021, all the issues from the austrian made 790 was fixed.

Same engine, looks way better, cheaper. Who would prefer the KTM? The dash looks daft, though. The base model's dash looks more normal. The standard fatbars on the base model look better, too. An acquaintance rode from China to England on an early CFMoto. It proved to be 100 per cent reliable. I would have no hesitation: I'd have one of these but the base model. I am from this area. I was born in Skipton. I remember the weather.

I seem to be in the minority that likes the screen 🤗. These are great bikes. A much better option than the KTM. I had to drive 2 hours to get over to do this review. No matter where I go the weather follows me. 😂

It needs a softer seat. I rode 100 miles last week and 120 miles yesterday. My tailbone was hurting. Other than that, its a great bike

I find that with every new bike I buy. Once I get used to long trips on them the pain doesn’t come. However I have heard that those mesh seat covers always help for a long journey 👍

Just press 2-3 sec to FN or * button , and the speed screen will fill up the complet screen without navigation.

The screen is great. No need for an extra satnav. A very nice bit of kit. Unfortunately I didn’t have it long enough to have a proper play with all the features. Hopefully one day I will get to keep them for longer.

Gillybikes and rain go hand in hand😂 Great bike could do with a tail tidy to give it that extra aggressive look.

You’re not wrong. As soon as the keys touch my hands it starts raining.

I wonder how durable the screen will be and if they’ll end up getting cracked or badly scratched over time - it looks very fragile and vulnerable sitting there.

It feels expensive and very well made so hopefully it will be fine over time. . . . . . Hopefully.

Bad thing about keyless is ya could lose your fob while riding then what? Dont laugh MANY of us have had stuff bounce out of a jacket pocket...i dont like the keyless unless they have a little container to put te fob in like some BMW s have I think

I agree. I think it’s something we didn’t need. If you have to have it with you. Then why not just have a key?

@silviughindoc6039

u can use just your phone. just have BT on and it will work exactly like the key...u won.t be able to put fuel in though :)

If Gilly turns up at Appleyard's and it's NOT raining, then I'll know the video is fake :)

15:38 min: One has to wonder who actually owns KTM nowadays if one strips away all the corporate layers. That might be an explanation.

How do you think the reliability will be?

They look really well made. I’ve not heard of any issues with them. But they are new so time will tell I suppose. I would definitely buy one. They are on my list for my next bike I think.

@@GillyBikes I own one of the first batch that arrived in PH, it has fueling issues which makes the bike jerky from 2-3k rpm and a flat spot around 3-4.5k but on my 5k kms trip to the dealership they updated it and it's now smooth.

@9LB.hammer glad it was sorted for you 👍

looks as a reason is a non starter totally subjective ya have to give actual REASONS why one motorcycle is superior. Is it lighter? faster? More tech? better tech? better warranty? Better range? resale considerations? without tis kind of deliberation the issue is a waste of time IMHO...just a ploy to get customers
