I use one of these as a work vehicle, mostly towing a fairly heavy sled off-road. It has proved to be ideal for the job, easy to hold a very straight line at a pretty constant low speed. I added a rail to the front to help mount an agricultural navigation system. We work with a 2-person crew which helped to steer us towards this model in the first place. The 4-wheel drive has been useful on occasion but for the most part we run in 2WD on the assumption that we will use less fuel. All in all, it has proved to be a very good vehicle for us.
Good review, one thing worth mentioning is licence needed to ride a quad on the road..........A CAR licence NOT bike is needed. I've a 2017 525s which has proved its worth time and time again, the waterproofing is excellent.........I've (not on purpose) been through seat height standing water, and its not missed a beat. Mine is the non power steering model - my choice - handling on road, there is a skill to getting the best out of getting around corners reasonably swiftly, and its to do with transfer of body weight. All in all a good working/leisure vehicle, and when time comes will happily go CF moto again.
Ha! That's great fun Mark. What a beast. And the 'boot' is only big enough for me Cornish pasty!! And you really need to go back and do an off road segment!! Great stuff.
Hi Mark - Great review, and I would definitely need the winch to get the present Mrs P on it - lol Seriously I think good value in the right environment - a brave on road review Mark
@@markpulling12 You are not kidding - you deserve many medals! but on a farm - perfect, but please no more risk taking ! I want a new bike not a dead reviewer my friend - take care
Great review as usual but I couldn’t have one as I’ve got a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. Seriously though, do you drive or ride a quad and do you need a car license to take it on the road ?
Oh no Mark's gone over to the dark side! Here in the state of Iowa, a rural area, in the US quads of all types are everywhere now. Many motorcycle dealers now do a better business selling quads than motorcycles. Our state legislature OK'd their use on just about every road but national and state highways. When I'm out and about now I have to always be on the alert for quads. They do have some use restrictions for use but in rural areas there's very little law enforcement presence. Off road and on the farm they are great as they can do a lot of work that other vehicles just can't do.
Why not record the sound of the atv when you were riding it down the road? Any restrictions as to where you can ride them in the UK, besides the likely obvious motorways? I have a very off road oriented polaris sportsman 400 here in Canada. The lack of differential in the rear means a lot of tire scrub in tight turns. For road use the longer 2up chassis like this would be a better bet. One thing about a quad vs a motorcycle, you don't have the same anxiety of a wheel slipping out and it going down. Much more confidence on wet, frost covered, muddy or gravel roads. If you are careful they are great in snow too. You can't say that for your bike.
Hi , yes if one could find the tracks to use it on or road tyres and pop off down the beach in the evenings , with ones paddle board . Have you ever done a trike as I have a Suzuki ct 800 REWAKO in my garage , if you want some fun or adventure in Verwood . The E bike you tested ? did you get it local to Poole .😉
They max about 38 mph but that's due to the ECU ...they can easily be made to do 55 mph ish with upgrade ECU,but I suppose if they are off road in fields etc 38 mph is fast enough as it's a work machine Cheers mark
Oh Mark, I don’t know why, but I want one now. Just to take the wife to Greg’s on and to tow a trailer to the rubbish tip. Think I’m convincing myself into buying one😳
@@markpulling12 You would think their marketing department would beyond this sort of thing now. It wouldn't stop me buying one if I needed one. Just looks daft. And CF Moto are a good company then deserve to do well.
Interesting vehicle. Tall, short wheelbase = unstable at speed, I'd think, but they're not made for speed. My 'car' is a Can-Am Spyder F3-S, so this piqued my interest.
G'day Mark, WTF, now your reviewing farm machinery, what next a Tractor and how it handles the corners, just kidding mate, but this is not hard hitting biker stuff, but you do it well, l can see you on one of there in you old age, cheers, Neil 🤠.

Better than a Harley trike and a tow bar for the caravan 👍🏻very interesting dude as always

You can ride these on a full uk motorcycle licence if it was issued before 1997 and has the B1 entitlement
Really good and interesting machine for anywhere rural . Or for exploring anywhere really !
Love your reviews. You seem like a big kid by nature, the secret to enjoying life!
Haha tom ..yes definitely the secret to staying young :)
Thanks for the review mark a great looking quad.cf moto seem to be building some nice machines.
Thanks James I'm booked to review the new CF Moto 800 Mt in September
Should be fun ☺️

Many thanks david ..its a bit of a handfull on the road cornering definitely requires a bit of bravery !!

I've got a CanAm Spyder in addition to my Rebel1100, love to see you review one of those!
Me too those are so cool

Hi Mark. Nice review. I was surprised at the price being so low. It seems a lot better value for money than a 600cc motorcycle. 🤔
Thanks Steve yes it's quite a bit of kit for £8 k
Steve, which would you rather ride in rush hour?
Two wheels every time. I was just pointing out that you seem to get more for your money with the quad. I think quads are useless on the road.
Hopefully we will see a test of the mt 800 soon 👍🏻
Yes it's booked for September with CF Moto :)
@@markpulling12 Glad to hear it 👍🏻

What happened was the sound of the quad was so loud on my helmet mic you couldn't here me lol
Hence the voice over
Cheers mark
You always surprise us Mark. Why 625 when the engine is 580 ?
I thought that too
No idea ??
Hi , yes if one could find the tracks to use it on or road tyres and pop off down the beach in the evenings , with ones paddle board . Have you ever done a trike as I have a Suzuki ct 800 REWAKO in my garage , if you want some fun or adventure in Verwood . The E bike you tested ? did you get it local to Poole .😉
Thanks for the offer of your quad ...no the ebike came from cyrusher UK website:)
I have just been talking to the chap at Poole Moto. Went to see this one
Nice one cheers mark
Different and interesting - makes a pleasant change
Thanks. ...it was very interesting to ride on the road shall we say lol 😂
Maybe more suited for the hills
Many thanks mark
Hi Mark is the cfmoto tourer good value for money
Yes definitely Poole Moto sell loads and people are very happy with them
Best wishes mark
excelente video gracias Pablo de ARgentina
Thanks Pablo ☺️
No bike noise?
They did an 800 called quadzilla that looked a good bit of kit. Can am do some amazing ones and pricey too
Thanks Ian ☺️
Nice 🤘 should do a review on the am cam spyder they look nice
Thanks Matt :)
Would prefer a twist throttle not a push lever.
Obviously more off road but what speed was achieved on road.
They max about 38 mph but that's due to the ECU ...they can easily be made to do 55 mph ish with upgrade ECU,but I suppose if they are off road in fields etc 38 mph is fast enough as it's a work machine
Cheers mark
Catwoman : My mother warned me about getting into cars with strange men.
BatMark : This isn't a car.
Mark, take a look at their clx 700 sport if possible please.
I know really want to try that ....I'm trying the new 800 Mt in September
@@markpulling12 that's a beauty of a bike. It's a KTM note for note. They build them for KTM as a matter of fact. Enjoy
I'm 61 now and people would just think I've got a flashy mobility scooter.
Yes ride that on the pavement and cause a stir a round the super market , all is fun and games @ 73 . Live and let live .
It's bigger than it looks when you sat on it. :) Not sure I'd go touring on it though. I'm sure plenty of farmers will buy one.
It's actually huge 😃
Why is the center Led Backlight missing?
Sorry I don't know..and didn't notice
UK spec dont have it
Oh Mark, I don’t know why, but I want one now. Just to take the wife to Greg’s on and to tow a trailer to the rubbish tip. Think I’m convincing myself into buying one😳
Haha lol
Everyone needs a quad in their life !!!
how fast does that actually go to do touring
About 40 mph but you can get a derestricted ECU for a bit more speed
Long distance no way they are so loud lol 😆
Cheers mark
Touring? :)
How did it corner?
Haha I know hardly touring!!!
It corners as well as you can hope for ..just lean into the corners a bit
It's a great workhorse for farming etc
@@markpulling12 You would think their marketing department would beyond this sort of thing now. It wouldn't stop me buying one if I needed one. Just looks daft. And CF Moto are a good company then deserve to do well.
I want the song from the beginning it's like transformers theme song
does it have any storage space?
Yes it has a couple of small compartments but better still you can fit two huge boxes to the front and rear .. not standard though.cheers mark
esta muy vonita soy savador cuanto cuesta meagustado
I would have liked to see you in the back seat , to see how high you sit , great review
Many thanks David ☺️
Very nice,il have one.
It was a bit of a laugh 😂
Cheers mark
Jesus didn't realise how big that was till you got on !
Haha yes I look tiny !!??
Cool atv
Well that's different and unexpected. Not sure about that thumb throttle though.
Haha yes it takes some getting used too 😉
@@markpulling12 I believe they can be changed so you can use your forefinger. I know some other quads can
Interesting vehicle. Tall, short wheelbase = unstable at speed, I'd think, but they're not made for speed. My 'car' is a Can-Am Spyder F3-S, so this piqued my interest.
Hi nik ...yes not built for speed it was a little hairy on the road ...i guess it would be perfect for farm work etc cheers mark
@Mark Pulling It just needs radial off road tires.

Haha Neil ... don't worry it's only a one off :)
I'll stick to bikes 😂
@@markpulling12 good on you mate always a bit of banter,
Crying out for a Hayabusa engine.
haha now thats a thought !!
A touring quad? I've got a touring quad. It's a BMW X1.
I would go for the quad more reliable than a BMW (Buy More Warranty)
@@grumpysprout3505 no. My X1 is 5 years old and drives like new.
"Touring"? Cant see myself touring on this. Great for the country lifestyle though.
P.s Maybe "adv touring". That's a possibilty😉
0:50 it says never use with drugs, like drugs are legal😀
Haha lol
Mmm well if I lived in Wales and needed to go hill rambling yes 😁😂
All the drawbacks of a motorcycle with none of the benefits in my opinion.
Sorry Mark but I just hate these quads on the road only fit for farm work in my opinion!
I agree John ...100 % ...I guess the road legal aspect is purely if you are going to and from farm fields via roads best regards mark
@@christga100 I've been researching these and you can drive these on uk motorways... however it is not recommended
Sorry not a fan of quad’s really don’t see the point I’d rather use my car.
No Mr.P, just no.
Oh no Mark-not quads :)
Twowheels please :)))
Haha don't worry just a one off lol
No mark, just no… 🤦🏻♂️😂
