Congratulations mate - awesome to see a new bike in your stable! I don't know much about adventure bikes but look forward to how it opens up adventures on your channel.
Thanks Nick. It’s something I’ve been looking at doing for a while as I’ve spent a lot of time in the high country when I had a 4wd. Now not have a 4wd I’ve missed it so I hope the ADV bike fills that gap.
@@Motooz_91 I'm in the States and this model is not available here yet, appears we only have the Ibex 800T model. I noticed right off the larger windscreen and the black luggage looks is awesome. Congratulations, it's a stunner for sure. Stay safe!
Congrats! That bike will give your more opportunity to see that beautiful country you are blessed with. I hope to get a chance to visit Australia someday.
I was interested in the CFMOTO 800 MT but wasn't really kin on the color on the 800 MT but this 800 MT Explore black or Gem black then my interest for the bike really took off:-) Concrats on you new bike..
Seen a few CFMOTO Explorers before at A1 but this is the first black one. With those panniers it looks so good. Best version yet. Funniest thing I have heard about A1 is after you shake hands with John you should count your fingers
As soon as I saw the black set up I knew that’s what I wanted. I bought my bike from Rick Thomas who’s the dealer principal and did a great deal for me. John’s a great guy and after shaking his hand, I counted 5 so all was good 😜
@@Motooz_91 Got to have a laugh. The Blue ones are OK the sandstone ones not my cup of tea but the solid black with those back panniers just looks two or three levels up almost a different bike. That said I am sucker for black bikes currently have three. Did you get the free Cardio set offer thrown in? I think that might just be available for the blue ones. What adventure bike did you buy for your wife?
Yes got the Cardo pack talk duo with the explore which made it a great deal. My partner went to buy the Royal Enfield but pulled out as her works changed a bit and decided to hold off for a few months the 450MT would be perfect for her.
Great video mate ,, Aussie Vet retired in Philippines, 16 years, Waiting on this model to enter country, Riding a Enfield 650 Interceptor atm for my chill rides..
Why don't you increase to volume of the music even more? Some of us can still hear every fifth word! The bike is awesome, too bad you killed otherwise informative video with the loud music over words.
Haha I know….john is aging well. As soon as the 450MT comes in I’m going to do a review on it and find out all the features it has. Thanks and I am enjoying the 800MT
You guys would shocked with quality and quantity of CF Moto factory production output. CF moto makes great stuff!!! Better than 90% of Thailand made Hondas. Only AfricTwin is Japanese made
In about 5 hrs from now I'm going to look at one. BUT! The bike,next to you looked like a normal sized bike but when the salesman was by it the bike looked huge !. Could you say how tall you are ? I am going to look at a new 23 800t thats 2 grand off, but im 5f 9in and im worried ill only be able to tippy-toe it, which sucks for moving it around your yard, putting in shed, trying to back out of a down hill parking spot that you shouldnt have used in the first place. .Lol. And did you look at the transalp ?. If ibex is to big for me, transalp is next on the list...but i love the look of the ibex. 👍👍
Hi Jamie, I'm 5'10 (just) so not much taller than you. I'm very comfortable and can handle the bike around without to much trouble. If you notice the sales guy is a lot shorter than me and he soften the suspension to lower it for his height. Take one for a test ride but get them to soften the suspension. I also believe there is a lowered seat for the 800mt too. Good luck and thanks for commenting mate.
@@Motooz_91 wow ! Thanks alot for replying so fast. I just loaded a pair of sneakers with yoga mat foam and it gained me near an inch..easily 32 inch inseam so got my fingers crossed. Threw my motorcycle/cowboy boot out about 6 months ago after watching one if those tv shows about people who hoard stuff.grrrrr...lol
I'm waiting for the update in a couple of months with keyless start and front camera. They are a great package if they stay reliable and durable. Only time will tell.
Hi mate. I was a bit like you and thought “will it last the time”. A mate of mines brother owns a CFMoto quad bike and runs it on a farm and has had no issues with it at all. So I’m hoping the same. Time will tell…at least I have a 3 year unlimited warranty lol.
@@moturcu4226 Hi yes I am. I like how the power and handling of the bike. It transforms nice from bitumen road to dirt roads. If you want more tight trace riding I would recommend the MT 450 but the MT800 is a good all rounder with good highway riding. Hope that helps.
It’s got the 790 ktm timing chain rattle and that’s a new bike!! Why not fix the timing chain tensioner ktm cf moto why leave it to the aftermarket to fix again!!
Turn the Back Ground Music OFF, (it makes it hard to understand what the salesman and what you're saying when you make your videos). I had to Mute your video and turn on the close caption on.
You are spot on and thought the same. A mate of mine lives in the country and his brother owns a large farm with an CFMoto side by side and he has had no issues with it at all over a few years. Treats it badly and it hasn’t failed. So I thought why not.
Congrats on the new bike. The 800Mt Explore is so well featured. One of the best value adventure bikes on the market.
Thanks mate. It’s a lot of bike for the price and the engine is so good.

Thanks Rob. Hope to be able to do more.

It’s a great bike and greetings from Australia
First time viewing the Explorer......WOW! I'm diggin' this model.
It’s a lot of bike for the price. So fare I’ve done 1500km and everything works the way it should, rides well.
@@Motooz_91 I'm in the States and this model is not available here yet, appears we only have the Ibex 800T model. I noticed right off the larger windscreen and the black luggage looks is awesome. Congratulations, it's a stunner for sure. Stay safe!
Really nice bike. Are those the bags that come with the eplore version normally? Or you dont get them included in Australia?
Thank you. The bags are an optional item and I was to believe they are available in multiple countries.
@@Motooz_91 OK, I think in some countries they are included in the explore model
Congrats! That bike will give your more opportunity to see that beautiful country you are blessed with. I hope to get a chance to visit Australia someday.
Thank you so much hun. I’m so excited to see parts of Australia that this bike will take me.
Awesome, looking forward to your adventures 😎✌🏻
Thanks mate. New chapter in biking adventures.
Fantastic bike...cant beat the value for money & awesome features as standard. Happy adventuring 😊.
Thank you and you’re spot on. Value for money and great features, not mentioning the great engine. 🙏
Cool bike Damien, great choice. Look forward to more adventures ✌️🏍
Thanks Frank. Just trying to get some miles on it and run it in.

Thanks John, I've done a few K'ms on it now and really enjoying it. Thanks for watching!!

Fantastic!! You are going to have sooo much fun!
Thank you Carolyne. I’m looking forward to putting on a few miles (kilometres) on this bike.
Great video mate ,, Aussie Vet retired in Philippines, 16 years, Waiting on this model to enter country, Riding a Enfield 650 Interceptor atm for my chill rides..
Welcome mate and thank you. Love the Royal Enfield bikes. Stay safe and enjoy. Got some accessories coming soon which I will share here.
Why don't you increase to volume of the music even more? Some of us can still hear every fifth word! The bike is awesome, too bad you killed otherwise informative video with the loud music over words.
@@beltcor5238 I’ve been told about the volume before thank you.
Wow, to see John with a moe is kinda freaky! 😎 Great bunch of blokes. Will you be looking at the little 450MT??
Congratulations on the 800MT⭐️👌

ATM I can not fault the bike and I’m enjoying every feature it has.
In about 5 hrs from now I'm going to look at one.
BUT!

@@Motooz_91 will do ! Checking sag adjustment videos now, will be doubling wife alot
Great,
Can’t wait to pick up mine…
You will enjoy it. I will be doing some mods so stay tuned
My delivery is delayed from Feb to May 🤷♂️
@@geertwanten1841 oh mate that’s not great. Good luck and hope you get it on time.
Congrats mate
Thanks mate 👍
can you set to avoid payd routes in cfmoto maps?
I dont believe so. I use apple carplay with Gaia GPS and set my route for dirt roads. Can use this on open or android phone too.
I'm waiting for the update in a couple of months with keyless start and front camera. They are a great package if they stay reliable and durable. Only time will tell.
Oh I must say….keyless entry I love and do miss it on mine.
Wheres the first long ride review?
It more just the first 1000km I’ve done which includes a bit of Toolangi State Forest in Victoria.
For a new bike its superb only wonder if it survives many miles like a standard japanese bike
Hi mate. I was a bit like you and thought “will it last the time”. A mate of mines brother owns a CFMoto quad bike and runs it on a farm and has had no issues with it at all. So I’m hoping the same. Time will tell…at least I have a 3 year unlimited warranty lol.
Hi, are you still happy with the bike?
@@moturcu4226 Hi yes I am. I like how the power and handling of the bike. It transforms nice from bitumen road to dirt roads. If you want more tight trace riding I would recommend the MT 450 but the MT800 is a good all rounder with good highway riding. Hope that helps.
@@Motooz_91 Thank you very much for the information.
Great informative video. But please drop that horrendous repetitive background "music." You don't need it, the commentary/ explanations are ample.
Thanks for commenting and feedback.
It’s got the 790 ktm timing chain rattle and that’s a new bike!! Why not fix the timing chain tensioner ktm cf moto why leave it to the aftermarket to fix again!!
I know, first thing I said. Especially when cold
Need to buy an aftermarket exhaust to quiet it down lol
Turn the Back Ground Music OFF, (it makes it hard to understand what the salesman and what you're saying when you make your videos). I had to Mute your video and turn on the close caption on.
Thank you for the feedback. I will take you comment inconsideration for my next video.
My heart says YES, but my brain says NO.. can i sell this bike second hand after 1 year and don't loose 40%?
You are spot on and thought the same. A mate of mine lives in the country and his brother owns a large farm with an CFMoto side by side and he has had no issues with it at all over a few years. Treats it badly and it hasn’t failed. So I thought why not.
Definitely lower that awful
Background music it’s way overkill
Will definitely be keeping an eye on it in my next video
GI Jane and GI Joe lol 😂
I love it. Thank you as I’m trying to think of name for it. GI Joe goes into the pot.
The editing on this video is terrible
Thank you for your positive feedback!!
