better sound, better performance. I wish CFMoto grow and keep its quality. They are making an awesome job

450ss msrp $5, 499 and CBR500R msrp $7, 299. That's a big difference

The 450ss is just so pretty. I love everything about it, and how cfmoto has stepped into the realm of "acceptable" bikes. Everything I've seen, from every bike in their lineup has been good. The literal ONLY complaint or criticism ive seen is parts!

[mintysquinty]

that 270 degree crank is doing its job, sounds awesome too

[WNMotovlog]

I have the 450sr for 5 months now and I have no complaints in terms of its power. More than capable on the road.

Have been waiting for this bike to show up at our shop, and after setting up, I have to say it's very nice, especially with the price point. This bike doesn't feel cheap at all, really solid, nice runner and good power. I have plenty of my own bikes, but if I had the space I'd consider this as well as the 800 Ibex, which really surprised me with how good it is.
I'm impressed with CF moto's bikes so far, compared to other brands they're actually nicer made, fewer cheap parts and well built. A big surprise to be honest.

The 450 has looks, tech, engineering like what else can you want in a bike. I'm a hard core Ducati or just about any big brand lover but the 450 is making me fall fast for it

I purchased a cfmoto adventura 650 one year ago MOTORCYCLE! Its great on backroads, interstate or my twisting roads in the Ozark mountains! Just a great motorcycle!! The 450 looks great, id like to have one of those also!

[RichardSandstrom]

I'm very impressed!! CF Moto is holding its own!!!

[Motahead]

Great comparison! You can't beat that value of the CFMOTO!! Awesome Video!!!!

[Alexkasai]

The real question is reliability, it’s hard to beat decades of Honda’s reputation for reliability

[kentuckyboy.]

CFMOTO is really starting to surprise me. I didn't think it would have kept up with the Honda.

[Bghowie]

I’m on a Cfmoto clx700 sport and I’m loving it … ninja 650s stand no chance I smoke them
Every time and I have way more tech on my bike compared to them

0:01 bruh I thought Your pointing at a Toy figure of cfmoto 450ss hahahaaha thank goodness im not tripping 😂

Had a good bit of seat time on a '19 CBR 500. Bike was slow and soulless, but man was it sharp. Looks, handling, ergos. It was equally as boring as it was obedient and beautiful. I'll maintain that the 500 with ABS is probably the best beginner bike on the market. That CF is a killer competitor for the performance/price... just haven't ridden one.

The CF Moto are great motorcycle's, I've owned 4 different models over the last 3 years, they are a very reliable motorcycle, the only downside is the resale value, i live in Europe and the general feeling is it Chinese.The other concern is the last CF Moto I brought which was the 700 CLX Sport, the following year the price for a new one was reduced by 250€ ?, this will make you think before you buy.

[revph]

Well here's my take. The 450 is track ready bike, lighter and high speed tranny whereas CBR500 is a much heavier cruiser touring sports bike with low speed tranny. the 500r is also just 20cc higher but with heavier parts. he's also not shifting properly throwing all those peak power band.

Weight: 450
HP: 450
Torque: 500
Price: 450
Features: 450
Looks: Subjective
Overall performance: 450

I'm shopping for a 450ss right now for my wife. Thank you for posting.

[weirdchamp]

i love when new companies kick the big dawgs, more competitors better for consumer

[mahyuddinrazali]

Plus, the sound it make, even on the stock exhaust, is stunning, feeling that rawr baby!
