Fantastic bike .. Almost done 4K on my white cfmoto800 explore and like you say ticks the boxes for value for money, a fun motor and all the bells & whistles means you really don’t need to upgrade much as it’s mostly all there for the average riders requirements. I didn’t go with the cfmoto hard cases but instead put a givi 58ltr top box on (fits two full face helmets) and the giant loop soft panniers which keep the weight down and hopefully cushion the bike when I fall off one day 😅. Have to say I’m loving the cruise control on the highway and when things get cool the heated grips and seat are AWESOME. The radar is an awesome safety feature to have and the bidirectional quick shifter leaves EVERYONE behind at the lights !…lol. The only little niggle I’ve noticed so far is when the fuel gets low it tends to lose the kms to empty reading but it still gives you low fuel warning lights. Have you done any night riding by chance ?…I’m really impressed at how this thing lights up the road on high beam !..those possums don’t stand a chance 😂

I haven’t done night riding as such but I did do a dusk ride home and I have to say the lights did light up the street signs so I’m hoping in the dark they are good. I’m looking to filming a dirt track ride review and use my drone to capture some footage. I will also give a review on the tyres and how they feel on the bike. Hope you get to see it. Thanks again.

These bikes are good fun. I'm lucky enough to work as a CFMOTO and Suzuki dealer and get to try out different bikes. I was quite surprised by the 800MT, and it handled some offroad work very well. I did, however, find it less manageable compared to a Suzuki 1050 due to the wider seat the 800MT has. Compared to the new Suzuki 800, they both handle the same on and offroad. Motor is the same 790 KTM engine made on the same line as the "KTM" stamped units by CFMOTO. I haven't done a set of pads on one of these yet, but if they're the same as other CFMOTOs, they are a ceramic compound. Great tyre choice, but be mindful of the front if it is also the Adventure and not the Adventure HT. The HT is there to replace the standard as the standard has issues with tyre wear and tearing knobs off at the carcass even though Motoz tried to fix it with the MK2.

@@roadtripperozadventures I'm back home with a permanent smile mate !!. Fits like a glove👍 what a sound happens when you crank it!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait till breakins over.
@@jamiehalifax4954 enjoy and I’m so glad it fits you well. Yes the brake in period is a punish but make sure you don’t give it a little every now and then. Congratulations
The tires tread design looks like the ones yamaha uses on its tw200, just sold mine to get an ibex 800t. The tires are very smooth on the pavement.
They are smooth but took about 300km (240mils) to quiet down a bit.
In about 5 hrs from now I'm going to look at one. BUT! The bike,next to you looked like a normal sized bike but when the salesman was by it the bike looked huge !. Could you say how tall you are ? I am going to look at a new 23 800t thats 2 grand off, but im 5f 9in and im worried ill only be able to tippy-toe it, which sucks for moving it around your yard, putting in shed, trying to back out of a down hill parking spot that you shouldnt have used in the first place. .Lol. And did you look at the transalp ?. If ibex is to big for me, transalp is next on the list...but i love the look of the ibex. 👍👍
Hi Jamie, I'm 5'10 (just) so not much taller than you. I'm very comfortable and can handle the bike around without to much trouble. If you notice the sales guy is a lot shorter than me and he soften the suspension to lower it for his height. Take one for a test ride but get them to soften the suspension. I also believe there is a lowered seat for the 800mt too. Good luck and thanks for commenting mate.
@@roadtripperozadventures wow ! Thanks alot for replying so fast. I just loaded a pair of sneakers with yoga mat foam and it gained me near an inch..easily 32 inch inseam so got my fingers crossed. Threw my motorcycle/cowboy boot out about 6 months ago after watching one if those tv shows about people who hoard stuff.grrrrr...lol
@@jamiehalifax4954 haha every inch helps mate. Let me know how you go.
@@roadtripperozadventures will do ! Checking sag adjustment videos now, will be doubling wife alot
How many miles do you expect to get on those tires? Just bought the GPS Tractonator good riding
I’m guessing around 5,000kms. I will let you know how I go
Oh man. You have joined a fairly comprehensive club of drone operators getting stuck in a tree.
I should be names Roger lol 😂
You teaser you.. lol.. good one.. enjoyed the video.
I was devastated lol. Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hope you get it back! What drone do you use? I'm starting to look at them as well.
Thank you. I use the dji mini 4. Great little drone and their local support is fantastic
@@roadtripperozadventures I’ve looked at that one, thanks for the info! And I’m in Texas so l may not use the local service 🤠 Enjoy your channel 👊🏼
@BogeyBiker I believe they have offices across the USA as many reviews I’ve watched came from the US.
Howdy mate, having my kind of luck are you? I certainly hope not😅 Hope you and Ms Chris are doing well otherwise 😊
You could say that. Unfortunately Chris are no longer. We are still good mates though.
@@roadtripperozadventures Ohhhhh I apologize….hope the best for you both going forward. Regardless I’m glad to have had the opportunity to share time and stories with you. And I look forward to following your journeys✊😎
@@soganoflarider thank you for your thoughts
Damn the drone stuck incredibly high up in the tree🤦♂️ Hopefully under high winds it may fall down but not land on the track. I’ve ridden around some of those tracks around Warrandyte. My mate used to live just outside of town & we’d go exploring along some of these. Beautiful part of Melbourne 👌
It is a great area to live in. Warrandyte provides some great roads to ride on and they are a stone throw away from my place. Not to forget great coffee too :-)
Glad I know the end result, I bet you were devastated at the time 😎✌🏻
Shhhhh don't tell anyone yet lol Part 2 lol
@@roadtripperozadventures oops do you want me to remove the comment? 😬
Great that your happy with your bike. Very painful losing your drone, had a similar experience a dodgy battery and it auto landed in a river. My guess is you got it back because the video drone footage is too good to be from the cache on your phone.
Nice pick up mate but you wouldn't believe how i got it back, lets just say mother nature!!
@@roadtripperozadventures Look forward to your next installment.
What a bugger. Hopefully you recover the drone. The 800MT is a weapon. With those tyres, it should be unstoppable.
I'm really enjoying it and yes the tyres make such a difference.
Just traded my Challenger. Had enough. Failure after failure. $$$ pit.
I get that sometimes enough is enough mate. What did you trade up for?
@@roadtripperozadventures I made a lateral move to a Chieftain ltd.
@@chiefjoseph8154 good solid engine and looks great. 👍
First time viewing the Explorer......WOW! I'm diggin' this model.
It’s a lot of bike for the price. So fare I’ve done 1500km and everything works the way it should, rides well.
@@roadtripperozadventures I'm in the States and this model is not available here yet, appears we only have the Ibex 800T model. I noticed right off the larger windscreen and the black luggage looks is awesome. Congratulations, it's a stunner for sure. Stay safe!
Me commenting again, the bikes packed & we head off in the morning from Gosford. Gundagai then Bright and the high country for some of these fantastic rides. The Mrs and I are bingeing your videos mate and we are loving it. We really appreciate your time and effort to video, edit and post onto KZread. 🇦🇺🏍
Graham firstly be careful and enjoy the every moment as I know you will love it. I’m extremely appreciative of your comments and it really makes my day knowing your are both enjoying them. It inspires me to do more and better quality videos. Please don’t hesitate if you need anything.
Gday Mate, what a lucky coincidence for your video on the Black Spur to pop up as I’m going to be there in early May ‘24. Your advice is very useful and warning noted. Thanks for your other excellent videos too.
I’m so glad you got something out of the video. Yes be careful about the speed mate but if you’re in the BS on a weekday, it want be as bad. Enjoy and make sure you do the Reefton spur back down.
Seen a few CFMOTO Explorers before at A1 but this is the first black one. With those panniers it looks so good. Best version yet. Funniest thing I have heard about A1 is after you shake hands with John you should count your fingers
As soon as I saw the black set up I knew that’s what I wanted. I bought my bike from Rick Thomas who’s the dealer principal and did a great deal for me. John’s a great guy and after shaking his hand, I counted 5 so all was good 😜
@@roadtripperozadventures Got to have a laugh. The Blue ones are OK the sandstone ones not my cup of tea but the solid black with those back panniers just looks two or three levels up almost a different bike. That said I am sucker for black bikes currently have three. Did you get the free Cardio set offer thrown in? I think that might just be available for the blue ones. What adventure bike did you buy for your wife?
Yes got the Cardo pack talk duo with the explore which made it a great deal. My partner went to buy the Royal Enfield but pulled out as her works changed a bit and decided to hold off for a few months the 450MT would be perfect for her.
Lucky man. Bike looks great in Black and the new exhaust makes it sing. Those Adventure tyres are long lasting with great grip in most scenarios but be careful in the wet they get a bit slippery especially on the tarmac. North Warrandyte, great place to live, twisty roads and tracks on your doorstep. Look forward to seeing where you take your bike next.
Thank you for mentioning about the tyres in the wet as I’ve noticed the other day it slipping a bit. Need to watch the throttle input on the corner ls 😝. Yes Warrandyte is a great place with plenty of roads in my doorstep. I sometimes forget how good it is. Thanks again 🙏
Btw I’ve subscribe to your channel and look forward in having a binge.
Fantastic bike .. Almost done 4K on my white cfmoto800 explore and like you say ticks the boxes for value for money, a fun motor and all the bells & whistles means you really don’t need to upgrade much as it’s mostly all there for the average riders requirements. I didn’t go with the cfmoto hard cases but instead put a givi 58ltr top box on (fits two full face helmets) and the giant loop soft panniers which keep the weight down and hopefully cushion the bike when I fall off one day 😅. Have to say I’m loving the cruise control on the highway and when things get cool the heated grips and seat are AWESOME. The radar is an awesome safety feature to have and the bidirectional quick shifter leaves EVERYONE behind at the lights !…lol. The only little niggle I’ve noticed so far is when the fuel gets low it tends to lose the kms to empty reading but it still gives you low fuel warning lights. Have you done any night riding by chance ?…I’m really impressed at how this thing lights up the road on high beam !..those possums don’t stand a chance 😂
That’s great to hear and yes it ticks all the boxes I had. Thanks for commenting, appreciate it.
Oh I’m so sorry as I just saw the rest of your message. See I need to make sure I wear my glasses 🤓 more often lol. I get what you’re saying regarding the soft bags and if I had my turn over again I would do what you did and go with the Givi bags. I haven’t done night riding as such but I did do a dusk ride home and I have to say the lights did light up the street signs so I’m hoping in the dark they are good. I’m looking to filming a dirt track ride review and use my drone to capture some footage. I will also give a review on the tyres and how they feel on the bike. Hope you get to see it. Thanks again.
Hi mate from the UK i have the same bike just wondered if you had a slightly snatchy throttle Seems us guys in the UK are all suffering from this issue. Ive subbed your channel would appreciate one in return Loved the vid and love CF Moto Explore
Hi mate welcome and thank you for the sub, I will return the favour. I have to say my throttle is good. I’ve heard a lot of people saying it’s snatchy but mine is good. Looking forward to your videos. Let’s keep in touch.
@@roadtripperozadventures sure will mate keep safe
Try throttle relearn procedure since factory loads average data for throttle positions. Any tolerance variations said bike may be cause snatchy throttle as logic counts on throttle rotation positions could fall out of desired calibration.
@@index6738 thanks mate. I will give it a go. I may do a video on the process.
@@roadtripperozadventures. Side stand up. Kill switch on position. Rotate throttle grip full power , turn ignition whilst holding full throttle for 1 minute, then slowly unwind throttle back to rest position, turn ignition off then on.
Awesome Damien, a great bike for your adventures
It’s a new world mate. Thank you.
Would love to have known what the DAMO rating was😂😂😂 I’d suspect pretty high seeing as it made it to a video😜 Hope all is well down under mate
9.9 out of 10. Hope you're well too mate.
A great bike & Scottys is a great tyre place.👌
CFMoto has hit the mark. Scotty’s is the best tyre joint I’ve ever been to. They will see me again.
Great to see you are enjoying your new adventure bike Damian, I think you’ll find the tyre change a real benefit off road, I’ve used the same for a while now & found them good on almost everything but be careful if on wet bitumen like most knobbiest I guess.
Its a blast, enjoying the feeling of pushing it a little bit every time I get out on the dirt. Hope to film some tighter stuff soon. Thanks Mate
chinese garbage
The editing on this video is terrible
Thank you for your positive feedback!!
These bikes are good fun. I'm lucky enough to work as a CFMOTO and Suzuki dealer and get to try out different bikes. I was quite surprised by the 800MT, and it handled some offroad work very well. I did, however, find it less manageable compared to a Suzuki 1050 due to the wider seat the 800MT has. Compared to the new Suzuki 800, they both handle the same on and offroad. Motor is the same 790 KTM engine made on the same line as the "KTM" stamped units by CFMOTO. I haven't done a set of pads on one of these yet, but if they're the same as other CFMOTOs, they are a ceramic compound. Great tyre choice, but be mindful of the front if it is also the Adventure and not the Adventure HT. The HT is there to replace the standard as the standard has issues with tyre wear and tearing knobs off at the carcass even though Motoz tried to fix it with the MK2.
They are good fun and normally riding a 400kg Indian, the CFmoto feels like a BMX 😜
Hi Sheridan, firstly my apologies as i didnt see you hole message as i opened it on my phone. Than you for taking the time to sending me the comments you did. Thanks for the info on the pads and especially on the tyres. I know I will chew through them very quickly as I'm still going to be doing black top riding to get to my rides. I will see how the motoz tractionator adventure go but feel on my next set I will go with the GPS tyres. I have to say coming from an 400Kg Indian (which is still in the garage) the CFmoto 800MT feels light lol. Thanks again and my next video i will be filming more bush riding with possibly a creek crossing or two lol.
@roadtripperozadventures The GPS is another great tyre. I ran one on the back of my DR650 in the Mostly Dirt orientation with the ADV on the front. Was a great combo but the solid centre rib made for interesting moments on the road in the pouring rain. I'm itching to jump on the 450MT once it arrives at my shop.
@@sheridancowling6257 I think the 450mt will be a winner.
Great review mate, you will get to see some beautiful country around your area now 😎🤙🏻
Thanks BB and it has opened up more riding opportunities.
I'm glad you are enjoying the bike and good review.
Thank you for your comment. It’s a fun bike and does everything I need it to. Thanks 🙏
Wheres the first long ride review?
It more just the first 1000km I’ve done which includes a bit of Toolangi State Forest in Victoria.
can you set to avoid payd routes in cfmoto maps?
I dont believe so. I use apple carplay with Gaia GPS and set my route for dirt roads. Can use this on open or android phone too.
I have the same problem !
Get them to clean your throttle body’s too as the sensors get carbon buildup and go out of sync.
Plenty of “smiles” from the new bike I’m guessing 🤔😜🤪
Definitely am 👍👍😜
Nice bike!
@@windtherapyaddict Thank you. Im enjoying exploring new tracks.
You guys would shocked with quality and quantity of CF Moto factory production output. CF moto makes great stuff!!! Better than 90% of Thailand made Hondas. Only AfricTwin is Japanese made
ATM I can not fault the bike and I’m enjoying every feature it has.
I really should have tagged along on this day🤔
It was an amazing rad to ride and lots of nice people to meet, would of been nice to have you come along.
Whoahhhh Mate howdy. I am SO glad we were able to meet, now I have one question…..why am I just now discovering that you also post videos? 😂 again my friend it was an awesome day we had at the dealership in Waynesville and sharing lunch and making lifelong MEMORIES. Hope our paths cross again before our time here is up🤘😎
Hello mate and I'm so glad you found me. Yes I'm some what the quite one out of us two lol. Thank you and I was my absolute pleasure in meeting you too. Please enjoy my videos as there will be more to come.
Wow, to see John with a moe is kinda freaky! 😎 Great bunch of blokes. Will you be looking at the little 450MT?? Congratulations on the 800MT⭐️👌
Haha I know….john is aging well. As soon as the 450MT comes in I’m going to do a review on it and find out all the features it has. Thanks and I am enjoying the 800MT
