CFMOTO 450SS I NEED TO TELL YOU WHAT’S GOING ON!
My first motovlog ride on my new 2023 CFMOTO 450ss. I explain why I purchased this bike and talk about why it’s getting so much attention. The MSRP for the 2023 model is $5,499 plus related fees. If you are interested in the CFMOTO 450SS, remember to subscribe because I will have A LOT more videos coming out to include mods, accessories and installation. The CFMOTO 450 SS comes with awesome tech that includes an easy to read dash and gauges. It has bluetooth standard to control your phone and music, plus turn-by-turn navigation from your phone. It’s my belief that this bike has more tech than other bikes in it’s class. Competition for the CFMOTO 450SS includes the Ninja 400, Yamaha R3, CFMOTO 300ss and the QJ Moto 400RR. I prefer the 450SS over all other bikes in this category. My motovlog videos are shot on an Insta360 One X2 360 camera. I talk briefly about how I use the camera and edit the 360 video to make videos of me riding my bike for this channel.

I’ve had so many compliments on this bike just owning 2 weeks now. It hits all the right spots at a reasonable price point as well as fuel economy, value and handling. The tech is spot on and something other bikes will soon have to adapt to. Great video!! keep them coming!
Just got mine yesterday and im so glad I waited till these came out, couldn't be happier.
Awesome bike to get! Loving mine more every time I ride.
So this is my new bike! Brand new 2023 CFMOTO 450ss!
What size slip on works on this bike? Will the Ninja 300 or 400 fit 🤔?
@@Johnson1281 I'm going to be installing a KO Lightning slip-on. Just about any slip on will work, but you need the correct mid pipe to connect it. I would love to out a LeoVince on in the future.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Inlet diameter of the mid pipe should be ?.... I'm thinking 2"
@@Johnson1281 Yes, 51mm or about 2"
@@ROBSOLUTELYSo that's what she said? 😮
I love how your talk the details on your video and the bike. Very informing
Thank you! I never know if I'm good at it or not. This helps me keep going!!
I am impressed from what I've watched and read about CFMOTO.
Love this 450ss and the 300ss especially yet all of their bike appear to be great designs.
I can't wait to see more. Subbed.
Thank you! I appreciate the sub and comment. I'll keep posting videos. New one coming out on Friday, where I compare my CFMOTO 450SS with the Ninja 400.
I have a 2022 700 CL-X Heritage and I love it. I am 6' tall and some of the "mid range" bikes are a bit small for me. I love the look of this bike and am considering adding one to my collection. Just can't find one in my area to sit on LOL.
Can’t wait to pick my bike up the front view is so sick 😍
I know! Makes me smile every time I see it and when I walk away from it, I have to keep looking back at it. 😃
@@ROBSOLUTELYyes bro w rizz this is a awesome bike
Thanks for putting this together and sharing your hands on experience.
You are welcome. I love the CFMOTO 450SS!
@@ROBSOLUTELYI thoroughly enjoy your videos. I wholeheartedly believe that the choice of a Ninja 400 and a CF Moto 450SS is subjective. I agree with you because with CF Moto, you get more power with a ton of awesome technology in a beginner to an advanced rider, but at an awesome price. In my opinion, it makes absolute sense to get the CF Moto 450SS.
@@dejuanmills77 Yes, CFMOTO still needs more riders and time to prove long-term reliability and to get more manufacturers to produce accessories, but I believe it's a great brand that will become a big game player. Kawasaki already has the long-term proven reliability with a lot of accessories. It will be interesting to see what the next generation of the Ninja 400 becomes.
@@ROBSOLUTELY, I am a 6’4 inch riser, would I be able to be comfortable on this bike, because I am a beginner rider, but am totally heads-over-heels for this particular bike?
@@dejuanmills77 I don't see why not. It's about the same size as any full-sized motorcycle. But your best bet is to find one and sit on it. See how your feet feel when they are on the pegs.
Another nice video Rob!
Actually, 450sr is the most renowned and valued CFMOTO bike in China based on its quality and specs provided.
I would be interested in replacing my 300ss with it or their new 800 nk if my nearby dealer gonna have it in the future lol.
Thank you! It does seem like a really great bike and I hope to get a lot of riding and miles out of it.
@@ROBSOLUTELY you should, cf moto have owned ktm since 2017 and have had a partnership with them since like 2012. all cfmoto bike engines are actually ktm engines apart from this 1 , this is their first solo bike engine i believe. also the winglets were tested in a wind tunnel haha, they provide like 2kg at around 70 mph
@@SrBiggus No, they went into partnership in 2017. KTM bought 49% of Cfmoto and they started to put together their small bikes for the Chinese market. Most Cfmotos use a copy of the Kawasaki ER-6 650 engine. The 800MT (or Ibex in the USA) has the old KTM 790 engine in it, built by CFmoto who no doubt received all the tooling from KTM.
@@chrispekel5709 they actually went into partnership with them in 2012 and in 2017 started joint venture company (cfmoto motorcycles), you're right about where they get their engines. apart from the cfmoto 450sr i believe i bespoke for that bike, but im not 100% on that
I’m going in the morning to get my first bike. I love 2 of them. The R3 and the 450ss. Idk what imma do 😂
Both great bikes! See which one feels the best to you and which one you get the best deal on.
which bike did you choose?
I enjoy really enjoy your channel. You were one of the first UA-cam’rs that had great videos content on cf moto’s. Since then I educated myself on all of their many models. I predict I will be getting an NK700 when it comes to the states. So thank you for the content, from one rider to another. Also… did you know there is a new 450ss overseas?! It is exactly the same but has a single sided swing arm and an underslung exhaust. I’m curious what your opinion is on the new model? Anyway, I look forward to seeing more videos and perhaps your experience with the dealership that u got this bike at? I’m really cheap and refuse to pay extra fees that these dealerships have been getting away with over the past couple of years. It’s part of the reason I don’t own a CFmoto… yet. Keep up the good work! 😎👍🇺🇸
Ps- I would love to see how you edit and post videos.
Thank you! I believe CFMOTO will be releasing a lot of new bikes over the next few years. I don't follow too much of what they offer in other countries. I would like to see them offer a liter bike here in the USA. Not that I would buy it, but it would really open the eyes to people who have to have the fast bikes! Getting a good deal right now it hard. Inventory is ramping up, but no where near where it needs to be. Demand is high, so that's keeping the prices up. I couldn't swing an outstanding deal on my 450ss, but it was good enough to make the purchase.
Love your vids !
May have missed it but what exhaust did you order?
I'm getting the KO Lightning. Hope it's decent. If not, I will get something better in the future.
Good video. I would like to know about the vibes in the pegs, seat, and bars at different speeds, particularly highway speeds. Is it relatively smooth? Will it put your hand(s) to sleep with vibes? thanks
Highway riding is good. I never noticed any vibrations. Arms and wrists felt find during and afterwards. Seat is comfortable.
You can’t beat the entire package at this price! I have a 2021 CBR500 I wish I would’ve waited for this bike! Congratulations on the purchase
You can probably sell the CBR for a decent price, then go buy the 450ss?
I wished Honda put a 270° crank int he 500's, would trade my 2018 cb500f for a new cbr tomorrow.
But I also tested the 650, and I like how that one moves a big lot 🤩
Also tested the Hornet to compare my 180° twin to the 270° twin, but the inline4 on the 650 is like butter. Down low it accelerates a bit better than the 500, and up high in the revs it gets borderline crazy (not necessarily something I want or need but the sound is just too good).
Upgraded this year from a ninja 250r that I rode for about 3 years to my dream gen1 2003 cbr600rr❤. Way more than enough power for the street won't be going to a liter.
That generation of CBR with a Toce exhaust is my dream bike too. Got a Ninja 400 right now.
I agree.
YOU ARE GOOD i.e. YOU TALK WELL, AUDIO IS CLEAR AND VIDEO IS VERY CRISP.
I appreciate the kind words!
i am looking to buy 450sr for next season when i will have my A2 licence and its actually so good for that price at least for me and its really good looking
CFMOTO 450 is a great bike!
Loving my CFM450SR-S! I’m a new rider and this bike is so easy to ride and learn on. Once I’m off my restricted license, I think I’ll upgrade to the upcoming CFM 500SR with the inline 4.
We don't have the SR-S or 500SR in the USA.
Love cfmoto bikes
I've the Papio
Will upgrade next year 😊
Nice! I have friends with Papios. Great bikes! I wouldn't mind getting one as a second bike. But yeah, when you upgrade to the 300SS or 450SS, you will love it.
Thanks brother
Yes. The break-in period goes fast. Always best to follow what the manufacturer suggests.
Hello, and how are you Sir. We have spoken before via your comment, and I think I told you I was picking up my third bike. I all ready have a 04 Honda ST1300, and a 01 Honda Shadow ACE750. So I did get my third bike it's a new/used 2003 Suzuki GSXR600, but I also told you I want a CFMOTO. So I think this winter I will get the 450ss. Your bike looks AWESOME!!!!..I can't wait until you get a end can. Stay safe, and ride safe bruh.
Nice! Ride safe on all your bikes too man!
I currently have a 300NK and it has been a fantastic commuter. My next bike will probably be an ADV, but I test rode one of these at Daytona bike week. I believe this is currently the much better bike compared to the Ninja 400. The Ninja is severely lacking in tech features and this bike even comes with the added Brembo brakes.
CFMOTO 450SS is overall a better bike but the Ninja 400 is also great. I'll be anxious to see what Kawasaki does with the 400 in the next few years.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Agreed. This type of thing encourages healthy competition which imo the Japanese makes have gotten complacent in the past few years.
ive had my 300nk for a week now, did you have problems with letting off the throttle, even super slowly, the engine braking was super drastic and almost wants to throw me forward off the bike every time. and only way to help is to bring in the clutch a tiny bit every time i go to 0 throttle and again a little bit of clutch when going back o the throttle just for smooth power delivery, and starting from a stop smoothly in sport mode is almost impossible lol that 1st gear just revs to 6k even with the tiniest of input
The camera bouncing arounmd on the stick is hilarious.
im with u 100%. after 2 years and going thru a csc tt250, ktm duke 390, ninja 400, r7, csc sg250, svartpilen 401, i finally found the perfect bike, a cfmoto 450ss. i was debating getting the rc390 too but the 450ss is way better imo.
You know it! the 450SS continues to be my favorite bike.
Would absolutely LOVE an editing tutorial via the 360. Also just bought a 450 as well so doing some research on if I made a good purchase or not. Also have a few questions about it. :)
I'm working on an Insta360 video to show more of how I edit. I think you made a good purchase. Bikes are solid and getting good reviews. I've owned a lot of different bikes, this one is the best yet.
@@ROBSOLUTELY some of the questions I had about the bike was: 1. Is it still recommended to use premium fuel under the 600 class? I see some say it’s not needed others just generalize. & 2. I want to put an aftermarket on there.. got any suggestions?
@@oksilky3783 Fuel is entirely up to you. I put 91 or above in. For aftermarket. What do you mean? An exhaust? Check out my exhaust video to see what I put on mine.
@@ROBSOLUTELY okay Brotha thank you!! One last question got any insurance recommendations? I’m going to get full coverage on mine just haven’t decided what company yet
@@oksilky3783 I got my best insurance price from Dairyland Insurance.
did you do hard break in on your bike or followed the manuals? i fail to follow the manuals in my 2024 450SS coz im having so much fun
I babied it during the break-in.
Where you ordering aftermarket parts from? That’s one thing that’s holding me back from getting this bike, the aftermarket availability.
Watch my video on Aftermarket Mods and Accessories. I have links to them in the description of that video.
@@ROBSOLUTELY I definitely will, thanks a lot and I will be looking out for more
So I just bought a cfmoto 300ss on June 13th and want the 450 now. Sounds like you did something similar. Did you get a good trade in value at least? Let me know thanks
I had the opportunity to get either, but I went for the 300sr cuz I felt the 450 was too hard to handle. I'm a learner... How was your experience with your 300sr?
I went from a Duke 200 to a CFMOTO 300SS, to a KTM RC390 and then my CFMOTO 450SS. Some how I was able to get decent enough deals to trade up so much. Now that I have the 450SS, I'm satisfied. Love it.
Been riding for 7 years, and I'm pretty sure I won't have as much fun on a 1000cc as I would on a smaller bike.
Where are you gonna use the 120+kmh in first gear?
I could go on the Autobahn, but what's the fun riding in a straight line?
The 450ss has 2 big points
1. it's got the better sounding 2cylinder. Something Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, etc doesn't have at this class.
2. The tech on this thing crazy. I'd say the next best/cheapest thing with similar tech is Honda's new Hornet. And that's quite a bit more expensive.
With this said, Kawasaki & Co. have quite a lot to do compete. Yamaha is gonna have a hard time because they're trying to sell their R125 with just a quick shifter for >6000€ (bonkers).
Picked one up 2 days ago. I already own the 700clx sport. Great bikes. Try the 700 line and you'll switch bikes again 😊
I like the 700 line, but just not a fan of naked bikes.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Exact reason I bought the 450ss. I traded an MT03 in for the 450.
hi Rob! Does the tires in the US Version still CST AS5?
Yes they are. They also seem pretty decent, however will be replacing them with a set of Michelin Road 6 tires, because I think tires are such an important part of safety on a bike.
Will be interesting to see how this bike holds up from a reliability perspective several years down the line….
If it's like all other CFMOTO products, it will be good.
Dude, I had a Ninja 300 and upgraded to a ZX6R back in the day and I will tell you what, I missed the eff out of that 300. I sold my bike back in 2018 and I am now looking into get onto another bike. My first thought is another Ninja 400, but I have been looking at bikes and this 450 and the 700 CL-X Sport look amazing. The tech in these bikes looks so awesome and I think the 450 will be a great small CC bike... especially with a good slip on.
I had a Ninja 300 years ago too. Was my favorite bike until I got this 450SS. 450 has been great. Check out my other videos. I installed a slip-on on mine. Sounds great!
@@ROBSOLUTELY Yeah I watched it earlier. That 270 degree crank makes this thing sound so good with that slip on.
@@IgoByaGo Yeah, I was surprised how good the cheap slip on sounds. May upgrade to something in the future, but for now, it's sweet.
zx4r :)))
What are your thoughts on the 2024 Aprilia RS 457?
Thoughts are... it looks good! Will be interested to see the final MSRP. It's a good segment for Aprilia to get into. It will also be interesting to see what Kawasaki does with the next generation Ninja 400 series. I really like Aprilia styling, although I think my CFMOTO still looks the best.
The CFMoto 450SS (and 300SS) look amazing, and I'll have them on my short list against the Ninja 400. However, quoting insurance for the 450 was insane! I'm not sure if it's because it's really new or what. I was seeing $1200 a year just for liability vice $450 for the 300SS. May have to call and investigate.
Yes Progressive and Geico were actually pretty high for me ($1200+ premium) but was able to get my CF moto 450SS quoted for $640 for the entire year. I'm paying around $55 a month for full coverage with Dairyland. Just shop around and you will find a good deal.
YES! I have progressive and it went up quite a bit! I will shop around.
@@monetda-introverted-guru6376 Thank you for the top on Dairyland! I'm gonna get a quote from them. Mine went up quite a bit with this bike.
Maybe it's considered a super sport whereas the 300 is just a commuter? I'm guessing
I got 4 bikes with progressive one being this 2023 cfmoto450ss and another being a Ducati monster 821. The other 2 are a klx250s and a Yamaha royal Starr deluxe. I pay 1780$ a year for all of them together.
Im debating on getting this or the rc 390 what do you think makes this better?
For me, the riding position is more comfortable. That was the main reason I traded my RC 390 on it. Now that I've owned the CFMOTO 450SS for a few weeks, there are A LOT of other things that I like better. Overall fit and finish is better. The power delivery is better... meaning that the the way the transmission uses gears is more smooth on the 450SS. I also love the tech that the 450SS comes standard with. It connects with my phone and/or Cardo unit. It also has built in security. If someone even touched or bumps your bike, it will send an alert to your phone. The 450SS is just a great package.
I'd get the 450, single cylinders are fun and all. But twins are a lot better for this kinda thing.
I already got a ninja 400 and have it payed off. But if I had seen the cf Moto before the 400. I would have gotten it
Ninja 400 is a great bike!
is this or the ktm faster? Which one feels sportier and faster when riding it?
CFMOTO 450SS is faster, sportier and feels better when riding. I mean it's just my opinion, but for me, the CFMOTO is a better bike, that''s why I traded the KTM on it.
Yeah im still getting the Ninja 400 because
the reliability both motorcycles are overseas but it's been
out for a long time and this motorcycle is still fairly
new and the reliability is still unknown it's got better technology and it's cheaper than a ninja but that makes you wonder what is the reliability of the engine I do real want one so. I think I'm going to wait 2 year or 3 and see how it holds up and if everything is still good I may get one myself I'm replacing my Ninja 250 lol
Makes sense. Ninja is a great bike too. Nice that you have a Ninja 250 now! My first bike was a Ninja 250 also.
Should I get the 300ss I’m 6’3 and I don’t really wanna break the bank on my first bike
300SS is a great bike. See if you can find one at a dealer and sit on one. See how your legs fit. It is a smaller bike, not just engine, but frame too. I'm 6ft and fit on my 300 good, but fit the 450SS even better.
I wanna know if an after market single sided swing arm is possible for this bike? If yes, how much would it cost?
I have no idea. Probably best to ask a dealer.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Actually I am a fan ...and from Nepal🇳🇵
Would love to see if u install a single sided swing arm
The 450SR S has that.
@@RossNixon yes it looks perfect!
But is it available in Canada?
I want one of these
Go get one! It''s awesome!
there is a new version 450sr-s with a single sided swing arm and other few changes.. look it up
Not available in the USA yet. I'm good with the 450SS.
I have been to the dealership 3 times looking at this bike! I have watched 4 plus hours of videos about this bike! I am just shy to pull the trigger on it. I am worried about the potential re-sale value, and hearing you say that you think this one is finnaly the one makes me feel better about buying it! Great video! I did go sit on this bike and then right after sit on the ninja 400, and I gotta say the ninja felt cheap to me compared to this bike..
Resale is always questionable. Resale on a Ninja 400 isn't good either, because so many people buy them as beginner bikes, then get pressured into buying something bigger, so they do a trade-in. There are a lot of preowned Ninja 400's because of that. Honestly through, the 400-700cc bikes are where the best value is. I don't think you have anything to worry about with resale on a CFMOTO 450SS. They are selling for thousands above MSRP at many dealers. I had to shop around to get mine at full-MSRP. The bike should last a long time too! I don't plan on trading mine in for a while. I love it!
@@ROBSOLUTELYwhere are the good prices on 400? I see people wanting 5k for their used one. Couple hundred more for a new one…
@@BreadAndGatorade It's hard to get a good price. Just keep shopping around.
I own and absolutely love this bike! Get massive compliments everywhere I go, the features are top notch, great handling, and the price is very good. Highly recommend.
@@yamaha3541 Love mine too!
What mods did u get on the 300SS? Only the winglets?

Congratulations Rob
Thank you!
@@ROBSOLUTELY there’s more to come from the SR series and I hope it will reach the U.S.
@@akoypinoyi In the USA, the SR is called the SS. Pretty much the same bike, just different letters.
@@ROBSOLUTELY there’s a rumor that the SR series will going to have a higher displacement next year and last month they released the new version of the 450 SR with TCS,single sided swing arm,adjustable front fork,under belly exhaust plus additional HP
I have had 5 bikes in 3 yrs and am looking to get a 6th. I have yet to sell one of them!😂😂😂 funny thing is when I go out for a ride, as soon as I get back, I jump on a different bike and off I go. 😂 I ride a few of the bikes everyday.
That's awesome! Wish I had the garage space for more bikes!
I've had 2 in the past 8 years lol
How is it that you can get parts and aftermarket when no one isn't producing yet?
There are a lot of parts and accessories available for the 450SS. More will come out. With anything new, it's just going to take time to get more.
@@ROBSOLUTELY from who?
@@mr.h.8363 Watch my other videos and find links to the parts and accessories that I've put on mine in the descriptions.
@@ROBSOLUTELY thanks! China actually made something that truly works right!
What do you use for audio? For your commentary.
I have links to my mics and cameras in the description of the video.
@@ROBSOLUTELY nice just got some. I didn’t even know DJI had that. I run osmo action cameras.
@@snakegs4203 I run Insta360 cameras and DJI mics. Seems to be a decent set up. I need to do a video showing how I have everything connected. It's coming!!
dealers in my area are just taking the low msrp for extra profit
MSRP I guess is fine, but nothing more.
The ONLY thing that makes me hesitant is if something happens between our 2 countries and parts stop becoming available.
China makes parts for just about all products, so if anything would happen, it would affect manufacturers from everywhere. We have to get a government that we can trust. I hope that happens soon.
i wanna get this or ninja 400 but my only concerns are the reliability of the engine on the cfmoto :(
I have a ninja 400 and have owned a CFMOTO 300, there are no reliability concerns on CFMOTO. Test ride both if you can.... The Ninja 400 is loads of fun but has a very relaxed seating position I believe CFMOTO is slightly more aggressive but still comfortable.
CFMOTO bikes are new to the USA but have been sold in other countries for a long time. CFMOTO and KTM are joined, so reliability should't be an issue. Ninja 400 is a strong, stable and reliable bike. See if you can test ride both, then see which one you personally prefer. The tech on the CFMOTO is loads better than the Ninja 400, but honestly both bikes are great.
@@ROBSOLUTELY agreed
@@101BadBreath thanks guys:) I know about cfmoto working with ktm also but ktm doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to reliability but I have heard they have improved alot in recent years, if the cfmoto 450 is even close to the jap bikes reliability then that would be amazing!
@@vHiqhlight the engine of the CFMoto 450 SS has a 270 degrees crank that’s why it’s sounds like the Yamaha R7👍
I ride a gsxr600 and I want this bike lol I need something with less power For a daily
Yeah but a gixxer 600 is an awesome bike! CFMOTO 450SS is damn good too though.
get full system exhaust, never seen 450SS with full system, only 450SR in other country 😁
I'll probably just do a slip on. Stock exhaust is decent.
Help pls!! What is the difference between 450 rs and 450 ss??
450SS is the USA version of the 450SR sold in other countries.
@@ROBSOLUTELY thank you really much! In the video. Is it the Original power 48 ph?
@@quickly_s6169 You mean 48 horsepower (HP)? It is rated at 50 HP.
@@ROBSOLUTELY yea. I live in germany and here the 450 sr only have 48 ps/ hp
What’s the top speed?
I'm still in the break in period, so I haven't pushed it for top speed yet. I would say it'll probably do 125+ MPH. As soon as I have everything broken in and the first oil changed complete, I will get on it for a good speed test.
What mic do you use?
DJI Wireless Mics. Link in the description.
Whats the top speed
I've only had it to 101, but it had a lot more to go.
What's the difference between the 450ss and the 450sr?
450SS is the USA version of the 450SR. Not sure what the difference is other than where it's sold.
@@ROBSOLUTELY thanks! You very timely! 👍
NO different
And I think I know why they're not called SS over here. SS was an acronym for the Schutz Staffel, that was kinda the secret service of the Nazis back then. Germany is super butthurt with acronyms like this. If you look into how EU (or Germany specific plates look like) if you were called Sam Smith or something you could technically not get your initials as a plate because of this.
But this is just me assuming.@@ROBSOLUTELY
@@ROBSOLUTELYIts the 450SR here in Australia...
in my area CFmoto 300SR is 7200$ 🤐

YIKES! That's crazy!
Did you know the CFMOTO comes with a tool kit below the seat 🥇
Yes!
I wish I got this instead of the R3. I overpaid for a used R3 and I regret it.
R3 is a great bike! Good on gas, insurance, fun to ride. Enjoy and and don't regret it. Someday you may get something else, but until then, ride safe and have fun.
@@ROBSOLUTELY Thanks, I'm thankful for the R3 I have. It's teaching me a lot and is a forgiving bike. Enjoy the CF 450SS. I subscribed to your channel!
@@highvoltage12v Awesome and thank you! Yeah, I think the R3 is a great bike. Well made, quality parts. Can't really go wrong.
Dude dontl't buy a litre bike or even a 600... They are gonna much like RC390 just faster, uncomfortable though. I am jealous of your new bike, besides the Ninja 400 I have in the UK I bought a R7 in the US and I am a Yamaha fanboy BUT... Think that CFMOTO would have been a better value and more comfortable buy... The R7 is brutal and fun and like surgical knife pin sharp but almost as uncomfortable as an R6...might as well as bought the madness that is a R6 lol. I was just impatient and the CFMOTO 450 was not available yet. I planning to keep the R7 (garage queen she looks so good 60th anniversary) and planning to get a Truimph Tiger Sport 660 (that Triple sound) to sit beside it next with full touring kit and I hope to also get a Kawa 900RS Cafe because also a 80's retro fanboy... Grew up with old Kawasaki z1000's, FZ750's and GSX1100's ...still negotiating owning four bikes with my very patient partner... gonna butter her up with Rebel 1100 DST...Wish me luck.
I do love the looks of the R7. I would have went that route but the price kept me from it.
How tall are you you think i could flatfoot it at 5 6 5 7
Maybe... best bet is to see if you can find out at a dealer, then go sit on it and see for sure.
I just bought one, I’m picking it up in a few days. When I sat on it, almost flat feet. If you had boots on, it might work.
I've been riding for 45 years and I'm really digging the CFMoto bikes.....I'm really looking forward to the release of the 450NK.....
NK version looks good! Probably will be one of the best naked bikes you can get.
Get the rs660, that’s the real middleweight “keeper”
With the rs660, Aprilia does everything that cfmoto does but with sophistication…. And real speed.
Obviously I already have the CFMOTO 450SS and I love it!
Well what's the average price how about that ??? NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT THAT. WHY IS THAT ??
Hard to give an average price. MSRP is on the CFMOTO website, but the final price depends on the taxes and fees of each state.
Waiting for a 1yr honest review on reliability.
Have to get that next year I guess.
We've still got my old ksr grs125, which is now 8 years old or something and it still works fine.
The battery is super weak because my sister barely rides the bike, but once you push start it and ride for an hour it's good to go again. And we've had one instance where the carb or throttle didn't close properly and gas dripped out, this was fixed by just turning the gas a few times.
Chinese bike reliability is really not that bad in case you're worried about these things.
@@Daniel-dj7fh Don't get me wrong, I love some chinese engines such as a GY6 150 or a predator 212 or 420. I've just always been leery about long-term on some of the bigger Chinese motorcycle engines. Doesn't matter how big they are or how cool it looks or how cheap it is. It won't do anybody any good if it's not reliable. I build custom motorcycles and use 420 predator motors from harbor freight. The bikes and trikes I put them in are street legal and I've gotten plenty of mileage out of them and they have been very reliable so far. Maintenance and upgrading cheaper opponents will go a long ways and make it your chinese vehicle last.
PLLLLEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE *CFMOTO* -- MAKE A LIGHTWEIGHT RALLY ADVENTURE BIKE WITH THIS BABY-CROSSPLANE ENGINE!!!!!!! 😭
Let them know. Go to the CFMOTO website and send them what you want. Maybe they will get enough interest and build it someday.
@@ROBSOLUTELY asked 9 months ago, they kinda did with the 450MT, but I still kinda wish they did a lighter *RALLY BIKE!!* 🤪🤪🤪
so far i'm the the only person in town witha 450ss hopefully that'll change
I bet it gets a lot of attention!
@@ROBSOLUTELY I've been told it looks like an Aprilia and sounds like a Ducati
@@samleo6784 I personally don't see it or hear that, however it does look amazing and sounds good from the factory.
That front end is noticeably bouncy, adjust it.
It's because the camera is on a pole that bounces. It's not the bike that's bouncing.
Well the people saying you should just buy a 1000 and be done with it are almost right, buy a 600 and be done with it.
450SS is a good bike for anyone.
@@ROBSOLUTELY not for me, not enough power
@@Kawasaki10rr Always makes me laugh when someone says that. You can go 120 MPH on a 450SS. Certainly enough power for the highway. Enough power to get through traffic easily. No reason to really go that fast in my area anyway. Cops in PA will chase you and the are all over. Great think about smaller bikes is their ability to handle tight turns on backroads. That's where I like to to ride.
@ROBSOLUTELY and how long does it take you to get to 120? Parallel twin engines are slow. I'd prefer to be able to accelerate very quickly just incase I need to so I can get away from a car or something. 600 inline 4s are perfect for the street, not to much power but more than enough.
@@Kawasaki10rr Hey man, I get it. Some guys don't have enough of their own power between their legs, so they have to make up for it in other ways. For me, that's not an issue. Heck, I could get out of traffic easily when I had my little Grom.
If it's your "perfect, super" bike, why are you going to mod it? Just buy a bigger and better bike to begin with. It's a 450cc with all the power of a 400cc. There's nothing awesome about it. It's just another nice bike.
Doh!
Ignore him..he must be an idiot 😂
Come to the UK you won't moan about sales tax and the rest. You don't. Know how lucky you are petrol is half the price in the u.s. we pay 90 percent tax on every gallon so if we pay £7 six pounds goes to tax
Not bad here, but seems to be going downhill fast.
The kove 450rr 2023 is a competitor
We don't have the Kove in the USA.
