The Caco test is the best segment.
Caco test should become standard. 😂
Yup 100%! 🔥
Definitely will be using this as my basis from now on 💪🏼 😅
Indeed. I love (and need) those because I'm actially shorter than Sir Caco hahaha
Anyone knows how tall Caco is? Or namention ba sa video that I just missed it? Honestly very curious since I am a short rider myself.
i gotta say, the tail looked proper when you sat on it...
yeah just how it is with mono shocks.. same sa honda steeds... they look too high kung walang nkaupo
or if ayaw makita yung gap. maglagay ng saddlebags.
Hi i am 184cm tall is it small bike for me
Politely calling him fat😊
@@dariomatic3182 I dont think so. I am 189cm and own a Honda Rebel 500. I have no issues whatsoever riding it - and I do long rides.
Tama ka sa rear fender. It's Fugly pero kapag wala lang naka-upo. Bumabagsak siya pag naupuan na kaya pogi ka parin pag nakaupo na. Kung ayaw niyo parin ay hintayin niyo nalang ang single seat version niya na ilalabas sa future. Same na ng rear fender ng Triumph bobber at bristol bobber.
I'm considering this as my first bike soon, can't wait
Same here mate! Was looking at the Honda Rebel 500 for a long time but now seeing this and it being nearly 6K cheaper(in my country) than the honda while being not so different from one another, gotta say the 450 CL-C has me on a chokehold at the moment.
rusi good for you
Best review of this bike so far. Thanks for the great content!
Nice review. Not just about specs. Watched the whole thing from start to end. 🔥
This bike with 800cc engine like in NK800 would be amazing. Hope they make it.
Realistically you don't need a monster motorcycle in the Philippines. This is a bike that you clearly own not because it's fast but because it gives you a great experience writing it. The 270° firing order really helps add to the retro experience. Recently I heard another CF 450 Moto model with a Yoshimura exhaust. My gosh did it ever transform the sound of that motorcycle into something like a Moto Guzzi or a V4 engine sound. The experience of cruising around on a retro bike in comfort without lovely sound would be good enough for me to enjoy.
Great and very detailed review. thumbs up from Malaysia
for biginner and for daily ride think this bike is phenomenal
I appreciate the comments about the seat height. Super handy information.
I'm loving this bike everyday! got mine right after they launched it here in the Ph last December and all I could say is the bike is Phenomenal. I feel really good driving it 😊 I must say I made the right decision in getting this as my first big bike 😊
How is it for long distance?
a great video and I agree with you about the rear of the motorcycle. But there are saddlebags made of antique leather that cover the large gap between the tire and the fender perfectly and also look extremely good. Greetings from Austria
that beat at the beginning 🔥
This is really a good beginner bike. First of all meron syang gear tracking nakikita sa dashboard kong anong gear ka so hindi nakakalito just for me because im a lazy rider minsan nakakalimutan ko kong anong gear na ako😂 tapos yung yung lining ng handle bar sa sholder looks comfortable pati sitting position with semi forward pegs. Mala triumph nga talaga.
this is going to be my very first bike. so happy cfmoto released it just in time
Ang quality ng content mo bro. Sana mas marami pa maka appreciate. ✨
I wish the Caco test would be a regular on the show. Very important for us not blessed with enough height. 😂
same sentiments about the obr seat, good thing there will be a single seat configuration for this called the low rider not the concept one, hoping it will come sooner here in the ph. nice review
Caco test for the win! You guys are too funny. I ought to swing on by and say hello to you guys.
And now to convince him to do it for every bike going forward without rubbing him the wrong way.
Nothing beats the V Twin engine performance and exhaust output sound. Proud QJMotor owner here 😎💪🏽
Does QJmotor have a VTwin motorcycle or atleast a parallel twin with a 270° crank?
Hi from Spain, great review!
Hopefully they come out with CLC 800 with their engine platform need a little more power but looks good
Nagiging ok naman tignan yung back fender pag naka upo na.
Dang, ganda ng bike na to. 😍 hirap lang mamili between this and speed 400 since magkalapit lang price nila and mas okay brand ng triumph since matagal na sila. Pero kung strict cruiser lang, eto na talaga. 👌
It looks awesome when one sits in it. Cfmoto design is really good!
Simple solution for the high rear fender adjust the rear shock make it more softer to lower it and be near the top of the rear wheel and when you sitting at it while riding the motorbike.
Being an American first thing I'd put on it is saddlebags if the rear fender was lower wouldn't be room for good side bags ,GOOD JOB TRIUMPH.
Oops cf Moto lol
Def on my wishlist. 🙏
agreed on the back part.. but looks good rolling doe
What are the front, &, rear suspension travel dimensions??
Thanks. Good review.
Same sentiments! I thought it looks great until I saw that huge tail fender + gap.
In sunlight &/or rain conditions how is the readability of the gauge ?? Thanks again.
I hope you get to review the Kawasaki Eliminator soon I like the low slung seat with "normal" peg position. I'd bet you can stand up on the Eliminator. It looks like CFMOTO CL-C has the traditional cruiser-style of forward peg position.
Hope they bring this to Singapore! Alternative to Meteor/Super Meteor.
love the 450 motor. it has to be NK or even MT for me. you can have that cruiser life.
The space between tire and fender is the cost of having long travel suspension , results into a much softer riding experience. Looks fine once mounted . Wish it had a V twin though .
We need this in the USA. I'd buy it for sure.
I'm choosing between this CF and Kawa Eliminator 500. Btw I think its only 12L... at least by the tech spec on the cf moto site.
Few correction Tank capacity is 12L and Price is 287,900 PH Peso :)
Nonetheless, good review. Kudos!
Best looking Chinese bike design wise,it's better than any HD motorcycles I've seen.they also nailed the weight normally cruisers are super heavy.what keeps me from buying it is the unknown reliability...I wouldn't have that peace of mind driving it long distance or owning it long term.Styling wise I give it a 10
This was my sentiment as well regarding reliability but now that the 450ss has been out for a while I think the drivetrain has proven reliable enough for a budget cruiser. Looking to get one as a second motorcycle for longer distances next to my MC19
any cons of the beltdrive compared to chaindrive, i know belts are smoother but how about the belt durability in the long run
can't wait for the voge cu 525 review..
Could've put the soundtest closer to the exhaust. What is Caco's height btw?
I hope the CL-X will have reiteration over this 450cc engine. Good competitor for the new Triump Speed 400 and Scrambler 400x.
Or a scrambler version would kill it!
I'm 6'4", you reckon it'll feel too small? - I'm really only after a small cruiser, but feels like I need to go at least to a Vulcan S to not feel too cramped.
I think cfmoto is nailing it with this bike, my guess is that it will be just as good as all the other bikes cfmoto has provided us with, to be honest I think you get a lot more for your money than with some of the other bikes mentioned… and yes the resale value is lower but I think if the reliability is good it’s a definite keeper 😊💪
There is a single-seat version coming out, along with the 250clc
Is qjmotor available in the philippines
comparo with the rebel soon?
I really enjoyed your review, I know it may appeal to beginners but maybe think we can drop "the beginner tag" I think it a great bike in it's own right, too often bikes of smaller displacement get written off as just "beginner bikes" I have large displacement bikes but still enjoy jumping on a smaller capable machine which is every bit as fulfilling to ride as a large one, anyways keep up the great work!
Please have the Caco test as a standard for every review. Gives us small riders a good perspective.
How is it on the highway?
Hello is there a comparison between cl-c and royal enfield?😅
i love the back
the only thing i hate on modern cruisers are the headlight. design they look cheap every time
and the monoshock
is it true, fat front tire makes the bike harder to control?
What happens to the startkey if the bike falls on the right side? I Think the key will break. How to start the bike then?
I laughed so hard with the Caco abuse! I know I shouldn't, but it was comedy gold. More Caco please.
Present Sir Jinno 🙋
Thanks for a good review but you have got the information of the fuel capacity wrong. It is not 17 L but only 12 L. Check the spec sheet. Thanks again
this bike is sweet! if it was a 7 or 800 id trade my CLX 700 sport in a heart beat
Watching this while owning one. Torn between this and the Rebel, after a couple of reviews I'm convinced and bought one. The best choice ever!
Edit: @5:57 no, it only has 12L fuel capacity
What sort of mileage you getting out of it mate?
@@seanmack4552 it's 4.7 liters per 100 kilometers so around 21 kpl
Edit: I'm not fuel conscious so I drive 100kph above on the freeway when I get to ride it
@@ryanpanaligan7747 appreciate it mate thanks, really considering one but haven’t heard when they hit Australia yet.
Will there be any issues with the belt drivetrain rather than chain? Thanks a lot, im comparing this also to eliminator and rebel before making a decision to buy
@@paoayanglerstv8638 I just got one so I guess I’ll find out lol Belt drive is nice and quiet though.
Make a review on the QJ motor SRK 400
can you do the qj motors srv 400 cruiser
Kelan lalabas yung low ride sir?
Yes it is!
hopefully they come out with a bigger engine on this. i have the 2022 CLX 700 Sport and if this was a 6-700 cc then i would trade it in tomorrow lol
I love the bike over all ,possible upgrade is back rest lang for my wife.
One question for you. Unlike you and your friend Caco, I am 194 cm tall or 6.4-6.5 I think. I don't know if the CFmoto 450 CL-C would suit me?
Would love to have DCT version of this ... just hoping 😅
I wouldn't replace my Harley with one - well not for interIsland rides - but I'd get that any day over a Honda-snoozefest-Rebel. Oh yeah ++++'s for the full review in English 👍
the rear fender is just right because it lowers when you're sitting or driving it.
review the kawasaki 650 vulcan s please!
How abouy fuel consumption? It's not mentioned at all.
Can you please make a review with honda rebel500
How is the build quality and reliablility of this bike? reliability
Is it good for 184 cm height biker ?
spec 2cylinder 270°?
I’m waiting to see if cf moto gives the ok to the concept version of this little beauty
Not sure about reliability but the design is amazing
See you soon, CLC!
Please have a review on eliminator too
Best Reaction at 7:05 😅👍🏻
wow! this one got my attention better than the new Kawasaki Eliminator! that stock exhaust sounds nice too.. and totally agree, it would be a great canvass for custom builders.
the tail looks good when you ride it.
Bike looks great, the tail does bug me a little🤣
18km/L for a 450cc bike? Everything seemed very good until I heard that fuel consumption.
lol true my bestie , BMW 1250 GS gives around that range and even better sometimes 😂
Nearly doesn’t seem right does it….
Yeah this shocked me
He had tank size wrong so probably threw his numbers out when working it out.
I think you forgot to mention (or I didn't catch it) what puts this above the Rebel 500. This actually uses an engine with a 270° crank to give that sweet grunt.
Only the price tag.
@@MrElosobearNo. The sound gives a sense of being on an actual cruiser bike, plus it's belt-driven. In other words, features to price ratio, not just the price
Caco is a Benchmark?
Hi. What is your height?
di ba mahirap shifting? parang ang layo at ang taas nung shifter eh.
Jinno can I ask what is your hip bag brand name? that look proper.
Its a kriega r3
The rear fender is closer to the tire while you are sitting on it. It looks a lot better. Short people rule.
cacao looks good on that bike
Nice jacket
cfmoto is really something
I don't know about u but can u do just one episode where Caco reviews a motorcycle and you review a 4-wheeler just for fun's sake.😎
What camera you're using for the front view? I think is mounted on the side of the helmet?
Saddle bags might help the tail issue
Great for short people
You need to review jawa bobber and RE shotgun.
He is in the Philippines, No Jawa Bobber and RE Shotgun released or future plans to release in the Philippines.
