Διάβασα το συγκριτικό μεταξύ των μοτοσικλετών που αναφέρεις. Απλά είσαι άδικος με το Cf moto. Όσο αφορά την ανάρτηση. Τα άλλα δύο έχουν μόνο προφόρτιση ελατηρίου πίσω κάτι που τα κάνει λιγότερο ρυθμίσιμα από το cf moto. Το cf moto έχει και ρύθμιση επαναφοράς (η βιολετή βίδα) κάτι που είχαν τα πρώτα Versys 650 και κατέργησαν απλά βάζοντας ένα πιο φθηνό αμορτισέρ. Μιας και έχω την Cf moto 650 mt f3 euro 5 2021, είναι πιο σπορ και πιο άνετη και σε ταξίδι με δύο άτομα από τον βασιλιά της κατηγορίας v strom 650 που είχα από το 2008. Η απόδειξη είναι η σύζυγος που δεν μου ζητάει κάθε 100 χιλιόμετρα να κάνουμε στάση. Με σεβασμό στις γνώσεις σου.

Big difference between buying a German bike assembled in China and buying a bike from a Chinese company. BMW sets their own production standards, does their own engineering, r&d, quality assurance, inspections, etc. That's why they are expensive. China reverse engineers, buys, or outright steals engine and chassis designs from other companies. They can't fix problems or refine anything if they don't know how the design came to be what it is.

5 yr warranty from our local dealer, I'll give it a try

I stopped last week and checked these out at our local dealer. Good looking bikes. But they had street tires on the Adventura and block tread 30/70 tires on the pure street bikes. Salesman wondered about that too. Time will tell.

Don't forget that used, nearly new motorcycles from reputable brands can be had for the price of this and lower. CF need time to prove their quality. But I'm hopeful competition like this will help slow down the price move upmarket from the established brands.

CFMoto has been in non-US markets for several years and have a pretty good reputation. I'm hoping that they force the big 4 to start putting cruise control on their bikes. I really don't want to buy a bike without it anymore but the cost from anyone else of a bike with it is almost double.

I test rode it back to back with a Tiger 660, Versys 650 and VStrom 650 and came back pretty impressed with the fit and finish and general quality of the equipment. I have to agree though, that in terms of feel, it felt very similar to the Versys 650. It's probably going to be liked a lot by people who wanted a better dash and a newer look on the Versys 650. My personal favorite among the 4 is the VStrom 650 tbh.

Thanks man for the review was waiting of this is a good bike or not

I test rode one of these, or, well, a european equivalent the CF Moto 650 MT, for a couple of days. I basically agree with everything Zach said. It's not as good as a Versys (or other Japanese bikes I've owned or test ridden). But it is cheaper. I would also buy a used Japanese bike over this or save up. But I definately understand that it's a lot cheaper and comes with a warranty. And if you're the type for whom a warranty is important, then there you go. The "Will China be the next Japan" -question is interesting. I think we should ask "Does China want to be the next Japan?" I mean, is that what they're striving for - to build better, higher quality, more reliable bikes than everyone else on the market and sort of "take over"? Or is this in fact what they're aiming for already: Bikes that are similar, a little worse, but quite a lot cheaper? I don't know. I do believe the market is always ready for someone to build something better and sell it for cheaper or the same price. Why not? So my question is, will the chinese do it?

Guy I know got the sport bike 700 CF makes, and it's honestly a handsome bike. My assessment of that vs the mt07 is about same as this vs the kawasaki 650, the cf's aren't as good, but they are a good option for what dollars vs what you get. Are the existing brand bikes better? Yes, absolutely, but are they the price difference better? That's a harder question to answer, depending on what really matters to you.

When the CF Moto 650 range landed here in Australia in 2012 I was surprised that it looked almost identical to my '06 ER-6F/Ninja 650 in almost every way except for the plastics. It was a similar story with their smaller capacity bikes looking suspiciously like a copy of a more famous brands model. It's basically the same model that Hyundai used with their cars back in the beginning, copying another brand's car (Mazda) & re-skinning it to make it look different. Hyosung, a Korean motorcycle brand, came out about 10 years earlier than CF Moto & took a different route, releasing their own designs based around a 250cc & 650cc V Twin engine. As a manufacturer who made engines for Suzuki, Hyosung had more credibility in the market than CF Moto. Fast forward to today & there are plenty of 8-10 year old CF Moto bikes for sale in the second hand market that are still going strong. That's not something that you could say about early 8-10 year old Hyundai's back in the day. Hyosung, on the other hand, quickly developed a reputation for unreliability & it's almost impossible to find a used one that doesn't have a fault or 10 keeping it off the road. CF Moto makes agricultural versions of better Japanese & Euro/Indian motorcycles, and the purchase price reflects it. But, as the Australian market experiment has shown, with care & maintenance they can last well beyond the warranty period. They might even be more reliable than the motorcycle manufacturer that they are copying - cough *KTM* cough.

And everyone in class admired it after seeing my performance on it, despite mine being the cheapest in class (there're a triumph rocket 3 and a MT-07 in the small class). The dude on Mt-07 was closest to my slow speed performance, and rocket is closest to my cornering speed, but both are not getting close to it at all.

Where does the adventure gain its weight over the versys, do the engines share internal geometry, is there any parts compatibility? I'm just curious if I could shave weight from the cfmoto. I'm also curious if I could go to a Kawasaki dealer and order versus parts for maintenance.

I rode it and ended up with a V-Stom, The Versys is like somebody at Kawasaki roll in a 650 ninja and said, let's make an ADV bike out ot this. they changed the suspension, the cam and a few other goodies, and called it a Versys. I just felt like the V-Strom was a better bike. The engine on the V-strom was better that any on the Versys. You can't blame China for filling the void in the motorcycle market now the the industry is pulling all the artificial inventory shortage shenanigans.

Sounds better than I expected

If i bought this id always think about how good the Japanese bikes are for a little more money...

This will have weird wear and tear ... Japanese bikes are already made in cheap markets, so what did they cut to make the same motorcycle? .... we all know it’s gonna be quality

Have to agree. Here in UK you'd only be saving just over £1,200 (about $1,400 at the current exchange rate) compared to the Kawasaki Versys 650. I've done 28,000 trouble free miles on my Versys in the last 3 years and would say a used Versys would be better quality and value for money.

While I do agree that the Japanese offerings are likely more reliable I’m always in favor of new players on the market. With no competition manufacturers get lazy. Plus the Chinese are plenty capable of manufacturing quality products if they put their mind to it. We tend to forget that China is no longer what it was 20-30 years ago. It’s more advanced than most western nations in some aspects. Will I still ride my Japanese bikes? Oh yeah. But I wouldn’t condemn CFMoto right off the bat, everyone deserves a chance… and to be honest their 700 CLX looks more fresh than anything else for that money. Time will tell, I’d love to track their progression as a brand.

Hi Zach, can you make a review about the CFmoto 700mt, Thanks.

I hear a lot about the 2022 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro and I would love to know how it is for a daily rider and where it stacks up with the others you have on the board.

My computer says I'm getting over 60 MPG but my calculations are telling me I'm getting 49-51 MPG.

Nice bike, will to do the review of the new 2022 honda cb500x maybe!? ✌️

YESSSS YOUVE DONE IT! In aus its 650MT. I dont know what MT means but hey. We have a different dash I would love to have the one that you have. I get 4.5L per 100km get 230km before the fuel light comes on. I am on the heavy side. Everything you've said are the same pros and cons I have. We have sport and touring modes. I dont know the difference. I've tried to find more info and I can't. I can do about 4 hrs without stopping. Standing for a minute every once every 90min helps. New tyres will help I'm planning on getting a new pair. I do road mainly, scrapping the footpegs with a semi neutral spine and hooks well. Roll on around 4500-5000 RPM. I do want to get my seat redone with more foam, tail tidy, mirrors, and additional windshield to add more height for wind deflection. I've put 8k km. Better than the 300nk for sure. Parts some parts its a little wait there are other parts that are in stock with dealers.

I couldn't find the Mt 800 so I bought a Harley road King 2022 !

Basically a cheaper KTM ... silent partner, per se ... by $3K vs. the Kawi Versys. Oh yeah, sold. Would love to see a review of the CFMoto 800 ADV model.

Starting next year I will want a bike to commute 190 miles each weekend in one direction. I need a bike that costs around $6k and gets at least 50 mpg. I plan on taking back roads and keeping my speed to around 65 mph. I don't need a sexy or fast bike. I need a reliable and comfortable bike. The CFMoto looks like the bike I need. I'm also considering the KLR 650 or the RE Himalayan.

that’s my jacket…. Glad you like it…

Wow, was that Nav showing inch units while you were on the dirt? Oh, spoke too soon, you pointed it out near the end.

When I look at the Adventura I kind of see a mini Motus. Minus the transverse heads popping out lol.

I've seen this as low as 5800$ new from the dealer and used one with low miles as 4000 I'm very tempted to get 1

I put the auto subtitles on and Ari was named Harry, Erie and Gary consecutively. Thought that was kinda funny.

I bought one of these bikes about 4 months ago it has about 900 miles now. It is my daily just to work and back. I completely agree about the mirrors they just feel cheap and can’t see anything out of them considering how much they vibrate. As for throttle response First feels pretty jerky second and third is the sweet spot and then the major power loss after that most I’ve done is 90mph. It is a great daily and a perfect first bike but I’m ready for an upgrade. Side note: no under seat storage, and seeing from other reviews on KZread they never fill the oil right from the dealership it’s always about half a quart low Any other questions I’ll try my best to answer as well Great video!

Hello bro can you say it's reliable?

I have the previous model of this bike in Australia. The ride modes are decorative. Mine has 'sports' and 'touring', no change to the old style lcd dash, but a push button in/out to switch and a display of sports/touring. Absolutely no difference at all.

I am interested on your thoughts about the CFMOTO 800 ADVentura T thats being released in the states. Is it more of the same comments, observation from the 650 ADVentura? Is the bang for the buck worth it for the 800 or stick with a Versys or V-Strom?

Would like to see a review of the Ducati DesertX

Great Video

I have owned a 2020 model 650 MT (in Europe its called 650MT) and rode 8k km on it. Its a great bike for the price. Only two reasons I sold mine a month ago. 1) I'm 182 cm (6ft or so) and on long trips (1k km a day) my knees felt cramped. 2) I rebuilt my other bike and now rode that instead every time I wanted to go on a ride. After 10k km on the other bike and only riding 350km on CFMOTO I decided to sell it and let someone else use it. In my country CFMOTOs come whit 3 year warranty as well.

The irony is, both the 650 Adventura and the Versys 650 have high pegs and can get a little cramped on long rides.

looks good, for a beginner moto I recommend mine, 1990 Sanyang 125 and Taipei driving daily. Now, some 30+ years later I'm on the x300 Versys, (just getting to 1000 miles).

I really want to know whether or not CF is spam paying influencers to market for them. They're not looked upon well in china, and honestly there''s better brands if you want CN bikes. For whatever reason different channels only keep looking at CF.

Most of the motorcycle manufacturers provide loaner bikes, out right free bikes, all expenses paid trips to all the youtube bike vloggers. Clearly CFMOTO is also handing out the freebees to get people to review their bikes. Yammie Noob comes to mind for recent reviews of these bikes.

Youre a good rider !

I dunno how true it is but when you mentioned the mounting on the engine being similar I have seen some European reviews that claim that this engine from CFmoto is based off a recent Kawi 650 motor.

Will you be testing the Cfmoto 450 SS when it comes out?

Looks pretty good, but why do a knock off a bike like the Versys? Surely, the Versys is so reliable and affordable even a half way decent used one would be less of a worry than this Chinese copy. 5000" lol not a very useful measurement IMO, guess the manufacturer doesn't have a handle on yards/feet.

considering 1 yard is 90% of a meter they should have just renamed it lol

you gotta check out the CFMoto 800MT. It's CFMoto's ADV bike, not sure what's it called in US though, or if even exist there. Nice looking bike.

I am dying to know how will the benelli trk 702c and X rank on your daily rider board

I had a cfmoto side by side, it was a decently smooth operator. I don’t think I’d trust any of their stuff on the road though. I’m gonna keep my eye on reviews and see, though. I’m interested

Ive got a 2020 650NK and your review is spot on. It's, fine, I guess. But it doesn't make me excited to go riding, fine once I'm on but meh.

This bike sounds exactly like it's the more street biased version of the Moto Morini X-Cape 650. Aside from the front wheel size the specs seem nearly identical

In order for me to take the handling comments very seriously the bike should compare them to should have the same tires. Tires can make all the difference in the world

Ride and review a Janus motorcyle!! Made in Goshen Indiana.
