- In this video I ride my 2023 CFMOTO Ibex 800T from South Central Missouri to Southwester New Mexico to see what treasures there are to be discovered in the southwestern US deserts. A 4000 mile journey begins... Will the CFMOTO survive or fall by the way side? This and many more questions will be answered in this video series...
Good Luck Jon for your IBEX 800T real world review from a real adventure rider and motorcycle guru. I enjoyed your insights into the CFMOTO 800T its really a great buy with all the bells and whistles cruise and TFT dash nav and all. I got my eyes on it at my local dealer and really liked what I saw and researching all the sources of add on luggage fairings windshields etc. Keep us tuned in to your travels with the IBEX 800.
Good to hear from you sir. Thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)
Awesome! Safe travels and keep us updated!
Good to hear from you sir, will do , thanks for watching... :)
Thank you, I have been looking forward to an update on the CFMOTO
Good to hear from you sir. The Ibex is alive and well... thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)
Hi John - getting some time to watch your series today from here in Canada. Texas has the Canadian Rivers - in Alberta we have "Texas gates" - which are called cattle guards pretty much ever wheres else including Texas :) I had a chance to travel a bit in that Silver City country - it is beautiful.
Good to hear from you sir, Thanks for watching... :)
Thanks Jon for another fine video. I'd been looking forward to some footage from the out-west trip. Glad that the CFMOTO is not disappointing. Keep up the good work, bring us more!
Thanks sir... hope you are doing well... :)
How do you keep it under 90 on them straight roads 🤔 lol
There have been many of time I got lucky after cruising then back down to posted speed then the law goes by 😅 that is one nice thing about the smaller bikes being you can't get in too much trouble...
How did you get your bags to sit flush on the right side of the bike? Did you buy an adapter plate? I just bought my new Ibex 800t from Stahlmans in Rolla yesterday, and trying to figure out how to mount my nelson riggs bags I had for my KLR on it.
Very interesting John, are you riding alone.
That cruise control would definitely come in handy on those long flat roads in Texas.
Here in Ireland 🇮🇪 l travel mostly coast roads on my Honda cb 500s it's a perfect bike for Irish roads, it's very reliable and quite fast.
Look forward to seeing the rest of your adventure.
Good to hear from you sir. Yes I travel alone. The cb 500s is a very nice bike for sure. Glad you are enjoying it... thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)
Just found your channel, and watched your video after taking your Trailmax Missions off, & putting on the Shinkos. You said you were headed to Big Bend soon. I’m not seeing any videos on Big Bend, or it mentioned in any of the video titles for this series. Did you not end up going to Big Bend? Thanks
Hello there sir, good to hear from you. Yes I have been out to ride the Big Bend area several times. I have a couple of videos on those trips. I did not make any videos on my last trip out as I was with a large group of guys and did not shoot any video.. Thanks for watching... here are a couple of Big Bend videos... :)

I carry a product called fuel doctor it works a treat for water in fuel situations. What tires are on the bike and how have they been on road. Safe travels
Hello there sir, good to hear from you. I have a set of Mitas E-07+ tires on the Ibex. They are a very good 50/50 tire. They have excellent grip in the twisties and wet surface grip is quite good as well. There is some whine at highway speeds but pretty minimal for a 50/50 tire I would say. They are the best 50/50 tire I have had on gravel and hard pack. The rear tire really digs and gets a good grip... I have not had a single slip with the front tire with these Mitas tires. I currently have 5500 miles on this set. It looks like the rear will go another 1000 miles or so and the front looks like it will last through a second rear tire but we will see... These are my favorite 50/50 tire that I have had... will be putting them on the Tiger as well next go around... thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)
Thank you for your response, I am considering selling my Africa twin to buy one of these bikes as the Africa is too tall for my height and I mainly do gravel touring and don't require the extra suspension travel. Take care and thanks again.@@jonsmith9892
Thank you !
Thank you for watching... :)
Great stuff! Looks to be a great adventure on the Ibex800👌⭐️ You meet the nicest people on journeys 🙏
Good to hear from you sir... I always meet people that are from somewhere close by here in Missouri when I travel... small world... thanks for watching... :)
Great job again sir!
Sir, good day!
I always watch your vlog, I like your cf moto, but you need to reposition your action camera under your chean to have a better view.
Good to hear from you sir... thanks for watching... :)
Are you still happy with your rugged smartphone for navigation? I decided to go that route also. Do you create tracks to follow or mainly use Google Maps for routes?
Hello there sir, good to hear from you.. Yes I am still using my rugged phone. I do not have a sim card in mine so I down load off line Google maps for navigation when traveling and I also have an app that I make my own trail maps with... I have not had any issues with my Okitel thus far... thanks for watching... happy trails... :)
Thanks John for another great adventure video. Looking forward to the following videos and your final thoughts on the Mitas EO-7 + tires. Great job.
Thanks sir... thanks for watching... :)
Great riding in New Mexico and Colorado! My favorate trip to take on the Super Tenere. Have you tried the Super Tenere 1200? It's been a great bike for me, would buy another one if needed. Thanks for the video!
Good to hear from you sir. I have ridden the Super Tenere but have never owned one. They are a really great bike for sure. Those things will run just about forever trouble free and can go places you would not thing possible Glad to hear you are enjoying yours... thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 Yes Sir, I think the trouble free part is what appeals to me. Sure do like the looks of the Triumph and CFMOTO, sure enjoy your videos! Keep on keeping on!
What kind of fuel mileage are you getting?
Good to hear from you, I got 50 to 52 miles per gallon on this trip...thanks for watching... :)
Thanks John. Stunning countryside in those mountains
Thanks for watching sir... you have the best handle on You Tube... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 thank you I'm glad you like it. I like to share my adventures with people and show them that you don't need to have lots of money to have fun. My cars are budget and so it my bike and camping gear.
Good video, enjoy your ride
thanks for watching sir... :)
