Just an FYI for anyone curious, since 2017~ CFMoto has been creating parts (including engines) for KTM, and KTMs reliability has noticeably increased since. Enough time hasnt passed for CFMotos own products to prove reliable,but thats a good start
Man this is the reason why I'm holding on to my money, they just released a cruiser with the same engine called cf moto 450 cl-c so a supermoto with 450 crossplane is possible.
@youaveragegamer3746 if they make a twin cylinder 450 supermoto, I'll buy it as fast as I can sell my ktm 500 supermoto, assuming it makes more power of course.
Bought a 450ss for our son. He's put 400 miles on it in just a couple months before winter hit. It had 700 when we got it. He loves it. I ride it when he's not on it and it's a great bike and I've had about every brand there is.
I work at a big dealership in The Netherlands, and i have to say the reliability so far is pretty okay. however the only thing that sucks for us right now is that sometimes you have small warranty parts that need to be replaced (think of maybe a temp sensor), but the availability of the spare parts is actually terrible. if they fix that they have a very good chance of becoming a big brand thats reliable and easy to work with. the prices of the bikes are very good. also their nk650 and 700 models are 90% an ER6 engine from kawasaki, so pretty good stuff.
the predecessor 400nk has notoriously low quality reputation in China, 450 engine was their first ever original world class power plant. And they are developing 500cc 4-cylinder and 675cc 3-cylinder engine sports bike right now. thanks to CFMOTO and other upcoming Chinese brand, price of import bike has dropped significantly in Chinese market.
I'm on my 3rd CFMoto bike, a 650 Adventura. I started buying them because the styling is cool. So far they've been very good and fun to ride. I also have a CRF300L which is how I discovered this channel. The 450 engine is a nice unit.
I bought a CF Moto 650 Adventura 2 months ago. I really like it so far. The build quality is actually really good, and the bike rides beautifully. Unfortunately, it is put away until spring, but I look forward to getting it out again.
Pumped your reviewing a cf moto , this brand has been building traction the past few years and I recently took a 450ss for a ride and thought it was gutless ( my daily is a Indian scout ) can’t wait to try out the 800nk at americade next spring
Yes, I bet it is… I got the 650NK she’s a fun bike! I’ve been watching you since Accidental broadcast was doing shit! I’m actually trying to start motovlogging and I have you as one of my main inspirations. Also listening to you in the background and I actually have a Hawk 250 and love it as well but you’re right, I had to learn a lot about the mechanics of motorcycles and really understand it to get that bike to where it’s at. I feel like it’s worth it though cuz now I know how to do a lot of my maintenance.
I think a motard (or even better, a dual sport) with this engine needs to happen, there would be nothing else on the market like it. Kind of reminds me of the old SXV, but I can imagine this would be far more reliable and require an eighth of the maintenance. I just worry about the weight and handling characteristics of putting a parallel twin into a dirt bike frame, especially when haven't built a dirt bike before. I wouldn't want to take a bike on a tight trail if it weighs more than an xr650l (350lbs). The 450mt will be a step in the right direction, but I would shoot ropes for a dual sport.
The thing is bikes like the 500exc or crf450rl and other plated MX style bikes, they’ll make more power then this twin 450. But you gain having a super low maintenance engine with great highway legs. Kinda like a modern air cooled 650. They’re heavier and slower then the enduro bikes. But you could ride them around the world. I’d love to see it or at least a prototype the test the concept.
I have a '23 CFMOTO Papio (Like a grom). Super fun just to play around on and have some fun. I would have got a 450NK but I got a really good deal on a Honda 300. I'd love to see the 450 Adventure bike when it comes out, I feel like that will create good competition against the new RE Himalayan.
I stopped in at a CFMOTO dealer a few times this year and I was very surprised and impressed. Definitely not what I expected. If I could just get CFMOTO to lend me an Ibex 800 test mule or one of the 450 ADVs...The presets that you'd like are on the H-D Pan America, at least as far as ride modes. There's a literal button to just cycle through 7 ride modes- Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road along with 2 custom street modes and 1 custom off-road mode that you can set to whatever your heart desires. There's also a button to quickly turn off/on the ABS. But, it sure won't be as inexpensive as a CFMOTO.
In a year or two I'll be downsizing to a bike this size because I'm old & it's getting harder to pick up my bike if I drop it. I didn't know about this bike until I saw them at my dealer. Just went in to buy oil. Waiting to see how they hold up over time. Also looking at the Triumph Speed 400, Genuine G400C & Royal Enfield Hunter 400. Harley & Honda make bikes in India that I'd seriously consider but they won't bring them to the USA.
Love to see a comparison between this and an mt03 seems like something it would be in competition with. Also very interested in the adventure and sumo versions
Wow, just seeing this, yes 450 adventure, I have the clx700 sports waiting for it to get out of the shop. Waiting on CFmoto for replacement parts for 3 months. Love the bike, only wish I had one to ride while waiting for repairs.
10:39 engine braking is directly proportional to the engine's compression ratio. not sure how it would have anything to do with the crankpin offset. some bikes, even with high compression ratio, might have less engine braking because they're specifically designed to open the valves when the throttle is closed; thereby preventing the vacuum that causes engine braking. 13:58 my first bike was a ninja 300... it only had maybe 35 horses?... but even then, the top speed was well over 100mph, and it got there pretty quickly. so yeah, if a 300 will easily do highway speeds with decent overtaking, then there's no question about a 400 or 450.
I have a CFMoto 800 SXS and I personally love the thing. I've been some crazy places with it and put it through the same abuse I did as the Polaris RZR 800 I had, and I can confidently say I prefer it. Granted I am comparing a 2102 RZR to a 2019 CF Moto, I realize that, but so many people are ready to jump on the Chinese crap bandwagon and I truly believe that this brand deserves a better shake than that. My two cents, give or take for inflation and interest rates! :P And this bike sounds sick for a stock bike BTW. Love to hear it when I'm not staring at that display :)
Love the video man!! Certainly got great information on it base on your inputs. I am really curious on your thoughts on it considering you are a long time owner of an MT 07. How does it stack up to it relatively thru an enjoyment factor.
My local honda dealer sells these. They seem nice and good quality. Apparently cf moto makes the engines for ktm? At least that's what the dealer tells me
Its the support network thats missing, my old grs was only 3 years old and was impossible to find parts for. Sometimes its best to spend the extra and get a known brand.
I was just up at the dealership by me that sells them and the parts guys had the parts fisher for all the cfmoto stuff pulled up. Maybe it was bad at one time but they said they can get anything pretty fast. Actually the owner was telling me about needing a part for an engine under warranty and they just sent a whole engine haha. He was like we only need this one part but I guess the costumer gets a new engine. Hey I wouldn’t complain.
Hi, could you do a comparison of driving between honda hornet 750 (47hp version) vs this one? Only the test drive agility, comfortability and fun for beginners. It's clear honda win in the all the other things and equipment.
I’m currently looking at purchasing my first bike and I came across the ss version and I’m kinda stuck between that a r3 and I’m looking at a 636 possibly
Not a bad looking bike, but personally don't care for the looks of the front. Also not a fan of the TFT screen. I prefer analog gauges so it isn't just this bike. Overall I think it's worth the money.
honestly I've been waiting for CF to make a 600-1000cc sport bike especially if they can make it cheap. From what I've heard the engines are fairly good, but I have seen issues with the frames
They did announce a 675 inline three I think and a 500 inline four. Those should be interesting. But so far this 450 seems solid. What happened with the frames? I haven’t heard about that.
I texted chase about that and he said that wasn’t him. I tried googling it and found nothing. You sure you got that story right? Maybe it was a different brand.
@@TheGardenSnake Edit: not really a crack just a bad weld that interferes with the chain alignment, but with the amount of load in that area it kinda sketchy
I ALWAYS use 93.. any modern EFI will push timing with octane, especially modern water cooled EFI bikes w/11:1 compression ratios. Cost of gas when Ridin'?? Who cares.. Try it.. in my 2024 car I gain 3MPG and gain a gear (OD2) towing a trailer at 75 . My EFI air cooled 250 dual sport loves it. Low compression 9:1, air cooled engines w/Carbeurators are fixed tuned very tame, and likely won't make any Difference w/93 itself. Back in the Briggs Go Kart days, was very popular to get a 4 degree advance keyway for the flywheel.. and spray some WD40 on your clutch for smoke, and keeping the revs up under load.
The supermoto and dual sport market is wide open for cf Moto to take.If they put this engine in a factory supermoto, they will destroy all competition for the right price
I was sure they were putting this engine in the Svartpilen... Shame they didn't Putting that in an ADV style bike, if it's not heavy, would be awesome. I wanna see a girl on the back of that thing. And you're right, a 300lb dual sport or enduro with that engine would be amazing.
just bought this NK450 , 5 days old, i have this issue that everytime I downshift and blip the throttle maybe 3 to 4x times. there are times my engine dies. Is this normal? or something is wrong with the motorcylce? :(
Is that in second gear? I had that happen to me like 3 times. Down shifting into second before I released the clutch and it stalls. Probably something with the fuel tuning. But those all happened when the bike had less then 100 miles. It’s got around 500 miles now and I haven’t seen this problem since.
another bike build in the garage??? on that CFMOTO bike does it feel like it's made with quality materials/parts. it looks like a decent bike but im not sure.
Pretty sure CFmoto and KTM are one and the same they are partners and their 800NK is basically the KTM 790 duke and they just use a lot of the electronics and things they share with KTM like the TFT and such so when you get certain CFmoto things you're basically getting a KTM or mostly KTM and from what i hear Yamaha is about to do similar things with like the MT07 and such and start out sourcing things to make things cheaper. Like again the KTM 790 that you get in stores now is made by CFmoto so a lot of their bikes are going to feel a bit more premium but at the same time not exactly like KTM and Chinese bikes have the best track records for reliability so only time will tell if CFmoto helped or kept KTMs rep EDIT: Also pretty sure most of their bikes have WP suspension been looking into them because how affordable they seem to be for what you get so im excited to see your over all opinion on them as well and yeah this engine in a duel sport sounds awesome
The easiest way to explain it is to check out this video I made on it. It’s not complicated but hard to explain. ua-cam.com/video/hm9IWBYxrXg/v-deo.htmlsi=VH_H97DH_HFEEB2q
I've got the CFMoto cforce 400 atv. A few problems but it was cheap. The older motorcycles have been here 10 years back were really bad. Major improvements in the past 6 years. It's all china these days. Harley Davidson, Briggs and Stratton, etc... big engine names.
I first rode a CF Moto in 2002'ish in BC. They're not as new as they seem. Look up the CF Moto V5. Its absolutely hilarious. THAT was the definition of an awkward, adolescent motorcycle company.
CFmoto is a trusted brand. they are cheap because they exploit cheaper labour and stuff like that. their bikes are famous for being straight ass copies of other bike manufacturers bikes. CFmoto is basicaly trusted aftermarket parts seller of the bike world. buying CFmoto is like buying a aftermarket stock part vs authentic honda part.
I'm going to request that you do something, so dastardly, so insane, so intense, it's difficult to type out. I request............................... that you ride this motorcycle. You should ride it, locally, to a nearby destination, then (and here's where it gets even more unbelievable) you should ride it home. I can't believe I'm saying this out loud. I mean, I'm not saying it out loud, but it feels like I am. Man, this is hardcore.

Like again the KTM 790 that you get in stores now is made by CFmoto so a lot of their bikes are going to feel a bit more premium but at the same time not exactly like KTM and Chinese bikes have the best track records for reliability so only time will tell if CFmoto helped or kept KTMs rep
EDIT: Also pretty sure most of their bikes have WP suspension been looking into them because how affordable they seem to be for what you get so im excited to see your over all opinion on them as well and yeah this engine in a duel sport sounds awesome
they use kyb
@@metalsadman oh really? Neat!
What mount are you using for the 360 camera
The easiest way to explain it is to check out this video I made on it. It’s not complicated but hard to explain. ua-cam.com/video/hm9IWBYxrXg/v-deo.htmlsi=VH_H97DH_HFEEB2q
Comment section I need your help !!! can anyone tell me if a 17” x 5.50” rear rim is gonna fit on a 2009 crf250x
Hey man, what mice you use?
This is my set up ua-cam.com/video/V01_M8dNHXM/v-deo.htmlsi=eKvmZ_WFA9dzEK6C
Lol I have a hawk 250 and it's fun for a cheap bike.
Do you think it would be worth selling my 03' 636 for this bike?
Well I mean what is your goal for the bike? What kinda riding you doing. Cuz it’s not a sport bike.
@@TheGardenSnake there's just so much servicing needed to be done for the bike. Idk if it's worth keeping anymore
The 450 is fun but it’s not superbike fast. I imagine it’s pretty reliable but time will tell.
Im jelly. I cant even pop a wheelie on the 450ss
Wheelie on the 450NK is just easier
I think you can rev it to 12k RPM
I didn’t really even look what red line was. I was just going till the shift light was going off.
Shit for the price you get much more techs than other entry level bikes
CFMoto bikes look great, but are they great mechanically...
My next video (already out on patreon along with a dyno video) I look into the bike much closer. Really looking at the build quality up close.
Dude said “Neck’ed”
I've got the CFMoto cforce 400 atv. A few problems but it was cheap. The older motorcycles have been here 10 years back were really bad. Major improvements in the past 6 years. It's all china these days. Harley Davidson, Briggs and Stratton, etc... big engine names.
Yeah like even if you buy a bike by these guys or those guys a ton of the parts, manufacturing, and possibly assembly came outa China.
I first rode a CF Moto in 2002'ish in BC. They're not as new as they seem. Look up the CF Moto V5. Its absolutely hilarious. THAT was the definition of an awkward, adolescent motorcycle company.
Actually a V3, it was called. I had a google, its worse than I remembered.
And I heard you saying it has a trash control!? TF????
CFmoto is a trusted brand. they are cheap because they exploit cheaper labour and stuff like that. their bikes are famous for being straight ass copies of other bike manufacturers bikes. CFmoto is basicaly trusted aftermarket parts seller of the bike world. buying CFmoto is like buying a aftermarket stock part vs authentic honda part.
The Japanese brands build in countries like Thailand and Indonesia which has even cheaper labour than China
Now you can review the Cuban and North Korean motorcycle. Have some loyalty American Patriots.
hey suzuki take some notes and reinvent the DRZ with this engine or CFMOTO give Suzuki a run for their money and come out with a proper supermoto
I'm going to request that you do something, so dastardly, so insane, so intense, it's difficult to type out. I request............................... that you ride this motorcycle. You should ride it, locally, to a nearby destination, then (and here's where it gets even more unbelievable) you should ride it home. I can't believe I'm saying this out loud. I mean, I'm not saying it out loud, but it feels like I am. Man, this is hardcore.
Dude I’ll die if I try that, are you crazy
@@TheGardenSnake Crazy like a fox. A hypothetical fox, of course. I don't want to make light of an actual crazy fox, that would be wrong. #foxmentalhealthawareness
Had nk in my country for a few years, crap bike, low quality compared to almost any manufacturer, only thing they have good is the TFT speedometer
Cf moto quads are pure junk hopefully the bikes are better
what you mean in US Trash control systems ?? :P
you mean traction control?? :P
i ask for friend in Europe :P
If they sell this in a supermoto it's going to sell so damn well.
