Proves you dont need a big expensive machine.These little great value bikes will send a shiver up the spines of the mainstrean motorcycle manufactures.They will sell heaps

I downsized from a Yamaha T7 to a 450MT and again the weight difference in real life is amazing, on paper the MT is not much lighter, in real life it is. The MT has all the power and more importantly to me the low down torque I need on and off road. I love it.

It's crazy that people give shit to Chinese bikes about reliability when Italian bikes exist.

Think the most illuminating point is the huge 25kg weight difference between the Tuareg and MT450, which proves the manufacturers figures are fairy dust. I’d rather have a 44hp lighter bike than a 75-80hp heavier bike. It’s why I’ve ordered one too.👍

Thanks guys my Africa twin weights heaps. Power more then I need. Did I say it's bloody heavy. Cfmoto for me be way easier around victorian high country.

I had the opportunity to test one these. I didn't have the highest of expectations. I came away not only impressed...but I want one! People will be surprised by the power! The "fit and finish" are as good as ANY expensive bike.. The ONLY problem I found was the fueling in 1st and 2nd gears. It was too jerky in those low gears. It can be gotten used to like any other bike with fueling like this..but can be a challenge off road. I road it both off road and on road. Wish they'd hurry up and release this bike here in the US!

For the price of the Aprilia, you could buy both of the 450's on the trailer & still have $5000 change! You're right, CF Moto will sell heaps of these MTs.

I wanted to buy a Tuareg, went on a test ride and loved it. Just wanted to try it on the road. The dealership (50 kilometers away from me) never got back to me. So bought something else instead.

The CF Moto 450 MT has been selling like hot cakes everywhere it would seem. Here in the UK the whole country's current batch has been sold and they're not getting anymore till February apparently.
The only real unknown of these Chinese bikes is their longevity, how long will they last. Only time will

[powertrip]

I love my Tuareg - has been reliable and awesome to ride...but it's great that you tell a story about peeps who have different needs/tastes. Good luck with your riding - cos its all about riding aint it, not so much about the bikes. 👍

I hadn't wanted a sticker kit...until now 😍

At 75 my BMW 1200GS has become too heavy and tall, I’m looking for a smaller bike. I know I’ll give up comfort and speed but at this time I’m willing to sacrifice to keep riding. My GS has 100, 000 trouble free miles on it.

Un piñón de 15, mi like desde España 🇪🇦🇪🇦

I've had exactly the same experience with the dealer in Ringwood Victoria. I will not but another bike of any brand that relies on them for servicing. It limits my choices in the future, but they're not getting my money again

[volvogt]

Sad he had a shocking dealer. Sun state I'm guessing. Thinking of buying a cfmoto to replace the dr650. I have a Tuareg also and love it

[thelonewolf]

i replaced mine with a v8 nissan patrol

[Fubar]

I'd like to ride one. In general, how is the support from CFMoto in Australia?

[augustbrante]

Hi guys I got my CFMoto about 6 days ago and I have a problem with it and wondering if you had same and if there is a fix for it. My throttle is super twitchy. just the slightest let off on throttle and it jerks me about the same with just a bit movement to get in back it jerks me about. I was wondering if you experiences this too and if you were able to find a solution for it? Here in medellin Colombia the same people who maintain Aprila also does CFMoto.Hopefully this bike really takes off! Thanks in advance!

[swedbear]

Found this really interesting!
May I ask about the actual weight of the 2 bikes and what was on them when on the scales?

[walkingwolf]

Why does not matter, it is personal choice. I ride a RE 350 Hunter, and I am happy, but I get a few comments, but I don't care. I think that annoys fanboys the most that I don't care.
