Im glad it's not just me that thinks that! It's pretty important, the thing that represents your pride and joy. So when you're not with your bike and you lay your keys down, it's got to look the part!
I love the lads down at Moonraker. Bought my current motorcycle from them and they're always helpful and chatty. My partner hates it when I go in there though because we end up chatting for way too long.😂 And I've seen this motorcycle sitting outside Moonrakers! So I'm glad I found this video. Fantastic review, mate. She sounds like a class Cruiser for sure.
Great looking bike imo. Nice to see someone outside of America making a new meaty cruiser. A segment that seems to have been neglected by international brands.
Looks like a V-Max and a Shadow had a baby. I love the looks of it. It's cool, but subtle. And with Cruise and TFT for that price, it's a steal. Just needs some heated grips.
Hi nick the reason they can be sold under £10k is mbp is owned by QJ the biggest bike producer in china. Keeway,benelli amongst others are from the same company. All their products are manufactured in china even if they have been designed in other countries like Italy.
this bike hasn't even been designed in Italy; it's a Keeway through and through. At least Moto Morini, Benelli et al are truly designed in their homeland. MPB is about as authentically italian as a costco pizza slice. :( I like the bike, but I don't like this trend of Chinese companies trying to pretend they're something they aren't. Benda and CFMOTO are cool brands building their own images, and I respect that much more.
They have benelli on their team, too. Chinese brands are coming a very long way. After all, Japanese bikes wasnt where they are now from the beginning. It's these type of opinions that dont help the situation. This bike is built to a premium standard and so are a lot of modern chinese bikes coming through.
I took one of these for a test ride, and although the seat was comfortable, the ride wasn't comfortablertably due to feeling a lot of the road surface running through. This is the first time I've ridden a cruiser style bike, and I'm not sure if this is normal when riding them and it was the main reason I was put off this bike but everything else about the bike was so nice I was just gutted by the feel of the ride.
A summer pub carpark crowd pleaser for sure and what a handsome brute !.... But about the bike, is it for the potholed ridden, traffic infested roads of the UK?.. Another thing, Cruiser owners tend to be a of a certain age and a bit sniffy, I would imagine for 9 grand a decent second hand "Hog" would be their choice. I'm not hating on this bike I actually think it's magnificent, I just think outside of the, City weekend Hipster I'm not sure of the target customer here in Blighty.... I bet it was a blast to ride though Nick, and this review has made me want to see if I can Mooch a test ride somewhere. Nice.
Hi Barry, very good points. The bike does surprisingly well on the pot holes with that MASSIVE rear tyre. Hog owners are in a league of their own, nothing will satisfy them other than a Harley, so we are at a loss with them right away! (jokes as I owned a HD myself) However, I can imagine this appealing to a wide range of ages, with its modern tech, price point and bad bass style! Give one a try!
I have the Suzi 1800, that has a 240 rear tyre, it handles crap same as the Ducati diavel with a 240 rear tyre, i would like to try this though, juhaptergee
You can get a genuine back rest, pannier rack and mirrors. Some aftermarket companies are making panniers, screens pegs etc. haven’t seen heated grips though. These parts are not cheap though. If you have a local dealer give them a call they should assist you.
@@NickandJodie i couldnt find any info and test drive in my own language. Mbp is selling these c1002 in turkiye. So watched your introducing and tomorrow im going to go for buying this muscled baby
For my personal Taste a bit too much stolen ideas in Design from the Kawa Vulcan, Keeway V, Wuling Serpol and Honda CB-R/CL. And before you ask again J.Juan is Brembo . Ask better who doesn´t buys Brakes or Brakeparts there makes it easier to answer 😁
7:08 THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE KEY...omg the look of the key is something i find very important, its like an accessory.

Hi, Thanks for the comment. I can understand your partner getting frustrated lol, have you tried to convince into getting a motorcycle too?
This is the bike that suit many of us in term of design, capacity, engine configuration, pricing...
Good review.
You are absolutely right
Great video nick what a gorgeous bike love it.
Cheers James

You are so right !

Just needs some heated grips.
Yeah, i was surprised with all that tech it didnt come with heated grips !

China has really improved its engineering over the years, and poorly made vehicles are a thing of the past.

It could be down to the cruiser style. All weight is direct on your buttocks and not a lot of rapport from legs and arms
Great vid chap lovely bike. BTW what gloves are those? they look brilliant.

I am interested i buying the radiator cheeks for the CB750 Hornet Can these cheeks be fitted with the original Honda crash bungs fitted ?.
Hi bud, not quite sure on that, get on the owners forum on FB and give that a try, sure some one has tried this
J.Juan i believe is a subsidiary of brembo.
I thought they looked brembo like 👍

It needs to be muscled around the corners lol
bloody brilliant
this one did surprise me! what a gem
How are they for accessories like a luggage rack heated grips ect

Do you think Jodie would give it a go, like you said it's got a nice low seat 👍
We're going to be trying more bikes soon, something that is more suited for Jo... like the new himalayan!
@@NickandJodieTesting the new Himi…she’d better get her extra-extra high platform boots on!
825mm not bad considering her ktm was 830mm
Love it nick.....😊
Thank you
It looks great and at a price which is great it looks like china are now taking on the main stream manufacturers, nice review I enjoyed it 👍
I couldn't agree more!
Jjuaan breaks belong to Brembo brand, as I konw ain't so bad
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Decided to Re-EVOLVE Nick ?? - back to humanity.....
A real bike eh
what do you think for someone thats 6f3?
I'd say because of the forward controls, you would be ok
nice review thnks
Thanks for watching!

Rear light looks like a rip off of the new Triumph style rear lights on the Speed
not when you get close it dont, it suits the bike and goes with the lines, dont think an out right copy was intended
Chinese can even make Rolex to look and work as good as original for a fraction of the price

I guess there is always going to be a resemblance when designing a cruiser. The brakes look rather similar to brembo, cheers for clearing that up
