[johncarlofigueroa]

I'm loving this bike everyday! got mine right after they launched it here in the Ph last December and all I could say is the bike is Phenomenal. I feel really good driving it 😊 I must say I made the right decision in getting this as my first big bike 😊

[xk]

i gotta say, the tail looked proper when you sat on it...

[ravenfeather]

I'm considering this as my first bike soon, can't wait

[yamen]

Best review of this bike so far. Thanks for the great content!

[StefiMoto]

This bike with 800cc engine like in NK800 would be amazing. Hope they make it.

[markusjentesart]

Caco test for the win! You guys are too funny. I ought to swing on by and say hello to you guys.

Nothing beats the V Twin engine performance and exhaust output sound. Proud QJMotor owner here 😎💪🏽

[mitza]

this is going to be my very first bike. so happy cfmoto released it just in time

Realistically you don't need a monster motorcycle in the Philippines. This is a bike that you clearly own not because it's fast but because it gives you a great experience writing it. The 270° firing order really helps add to the retro experience. Recently I heard another CF 450 Moto model with a Yoshimura exhaust. My gosh did it ever transform the sound of that motorcycle into something like a Moto Guzzi or a V4 engine sound. The experience of cruising around on a retro bike in comfort without lovely sound would be good enough for me to enjoy.

18km/L for a 450cc bike? Everything seemed very good until I heard that fuel consumption.

[ZackBriones]

Hi MotoDeal! Thanks for this review, bought a clc450 after watching this video last week.

[gdvadventours]

Best looking Chinese bike design wise, it's better than any HD motorcycles I've seen.they also nailed the weight normally cruisers are super heavy.what keeps me from buying it is the unknown reliability...I wouldn't have that peace of mind driving it long distance or owning it long term.Styling wise I give it a 10

CFMOTO knocked it out of the park with the *450cc crossplane* ❤

[sweetheart-thyv]

I have mine. Just now .. I was so happy to get it. I have the honda rebel 500 but it's too heavy for a first learner bike and I'm very short. I'm just 4'8. And now I got the cfmoto and it is the best decision to get

[Fajela]

Nice review. Not just about specs. Watched the whole thing from start to end. 🔥

[loydchambers]

Being an American first thing I'd put on it is saddlebags if the rear fender was lower wouldn't be room for good side bags, GOOD JOB TRIUMPH.

[faizrasid]

Great and very detailed review. thumbs up from Malaysia

[titochris]

6:58 the Caco Test and his reaction was the highlight of this review 😎👌

[CodeTalkerLooter]

I just sat on this bike today in my Yamaha dealer. I ride a 2006 XVS650 custom, and I couldn't believe how lightweight this bike was. For the money (which currently they were retailing it at $4500) I think it is a very good choice. But I live in the midqest, and the wind here is horrendous sometimes, so I think if I get this one at the road, I might be blown away by one wind gust.
