This episode we finally get our hands on the CFmoto ADVentura. I can't talk enough good things about this motorcycle. We hope you enjoy this review as much as we did making it!
There is a small steel part on the trottle body,if you bend it or take it off then the trottle can open full,you can reach it after taking off the right long black plastic part
Fellow Best Virginian here, was looking into the CF Motos and gotta say, after watching some of your videos you've sold me on 'em. Gonna check some out this weekend!
I do miss the instant power the 700s have. I just really like the comfort that this bike provides. I wish I would have picked up the 800 ibex but my dealer didn't have any. With my luck though they got them in the next day after I bought this bike. :(
I have the same ride & love it so far. I too have the GPS go to inches once in a while. Hopefully it's just something in the app that will be updated and fixed soon.
I have this model and he is correct . The bike runs very well on the highway and has a great suspension system but the parts will run you your pockets dry lol so beware. Also, be careful of second gear it’s extremely jumpy and I busted my ass popping a wheelie 5 days before my wedding 😂
Have you worked out why the turn by turn is in inches? Have you resolved the problem, has it happened since? Just now Im torn between this and the RE Shotgun, yes it has more features but reliabily concerns me 🤔
Hello fellow cfmoto users, may I know is the Sport mode consume more fuel and generate more heat? I can't tell the difference when I'm using the mode 😅
This is the MT650, I don't know why it's rebranded ADVentura. It's certainly not a motorbike for ADV, and you should keep it on cemented road. But I had one I sold at 24'000km for a tracer 9 GT. Overall I am very satisfied by it. Basically, it is powerful enough, comfortable, well protected, the build quality is really decent and for the price it's a bargain. I got a very few problems with it: - Horn wasn't working anymore - Rear-wheel dampers got compressed after ~12000km leading to very unpleasant experience in curvy roads on each curve-exit. Those are cheap rubber part and changing it was very cheap. - Somehow there is a problem in the software causing the bike to malfunction usually if rode around 2200rpm in 5th gear. It lose power, feel like it's running on one cylinder only. Stopping and restarting the bike make it goes away. Experienced like 10 times over the course of my ownerhood :) That's all, and it's pretty little for 24'000km. Now I'm riding a Tracer 9 GT, and it's another world, but another budget too.
I love this bike so much that I went out and bought 300NK. for everything you get at the price you pay you cant beat this brand. Plus I got my 2022 Adventura on sale for 5800.00.
I've seen some comments that the speedometer on this bike is a bit off by about 7-10%, so when you are doing 80 you are actually doing around 75 more or less. Is that right? I love how this bike looks and for the price it seems like you get a lot for it.
so.... any problems with the bike? has it broken down ever? i live here in Finland and CFMoto is a new thing here so i cant get any local user experiences on the bike.... i would like to hear all the bad things about it, since internet only posts the good things about it
That pretty much has a ninja 650 engine in it if I am correct? I had a ninja 650 and was pleased with it, but started to get bored with it after a couple years. It needed just 10 more ponnies to keep me interested. I just picked up the Cfmoto IBEX 800T. MAN what a bike! Very pleased with it so far. It has a KTM 790 engine in it. The motor is so much fun. And the bike is LOADED with SO many features! Happy riding and good video.
So to me there is a big difference in "power". Really its torque. This bike doesn't have the giddy up and go like the 700s. However as soon as you get past 4,000rpm this bike really opens up.
The adventura and the NK have a MASSIVE catalytic muffler on them. I've fiddled with some Ebay pipe and muffler configs and gained a lot of responsiveness in the mid range for it. Be careful of the "off road only" nature of the cheap ebay mufflers. They're truly too loud.
The saga continues with the quality of the bike. It has been 21 days since I bought the bike. The electronics were attached with double sided tape. The only miles on the bike are riding home and then back to the dealership. The dealership has ordered parts twice and they arrived yesterday and they are wrong. They are ordering again but do not know what to expect. I called CF Moto in Minnesota and the rep on the phone said this is the dealership problem and that they would contact the dealer. She pretty much hung up on me because they do not take care of the customer it is a dealer problem
To each his own my friend. I really enjoy both my Harley and this bike there are few bad things to say about both. Harley has come a long way since 03 though.
I can't tell a big difference in the modes during highway riding however I can def tell a difference going up a twisty mountain or hitting some real curvy backroads.

I picked one up, apart from the engine heat in traffic it's absolutely a perfect bike.

I’m picking one up tomorrow in Nashville!
Great vid! Buying one because of you! Thanks!

They just introduced the 700 Adventura at a show in Argentina. Motor off the cl-x and they dialed in the Adventura
The adventure is a really nice bike with some great features. The price is even better. Personally, I own the CLX 700 sport and I love it.
I do miss the instant power the 700s have. I just really like the comfort that this bike provides. I wish I would have picked up the 800 ibex but my dealer didn't have any. With my luck though they got them in the next day after I bought this bike. :(
Good job .well done
If it had cruise control, I’d be very interested. I will probably end up with a Norden, but I agree 650 is plenty for most riders.
I have the same ride & love it so far. I too have the GPS go to inches once in a while. Hopefully it's just something in the app that will be updated and fixed soon.
I can’t seem to find the gps.. it’s not working on my app.
Where did you get your license plate bracket adapter? US plates don't seem to fit.
Nice
Yup, the first thing I did was to take it on the highway. It works ok.

How many miles did you put in CFMOTO 700 CL-X , any issues with the bike so far ?
This is the MT650, I don't know why it's rebranded ADVentura. It's certainly not a motorbike for ADV, and you should keep it on cemented road.

Thank you, I'm considering the 700MT

From what I know that is false and it is accurate.
Are you worried about parts or service? I saw that they are dropping it from the lineup.
👍
Would you know if there is an available center stand for this bike?
To my knowledge at this time there is not.
so.... any problems with the bike? has it broken down ever? i live here in Finland and CFMoto is a new thing here so i cant get any local user experiences on the bike.... i would like to hear all the bad things about it, since internet only posts the good things about it
is it suitable for short people (173cm tall)?

Engines are made by KTM from what i read. KTM distributes cfmoto for Ireland and UK.
@@cheeks3211 for the 790 (ibex800t) but that 650 wether its made by ktm or not is a copy of the ninja 650.
Nice one! Do you know the maximum load weight ? And do you think it is beginner friendly? Thanx :)
So im not sure on the weight you can actually load this vehicle down with I'm sure you don't really want to go over 300 pounds being rider and cargo.
Hi.. The bags that are attached to the bike, are they big enough to hold a helmet?
They are yes!
I am thinking about doing the same thing, trading in my 700 clx heritage for the 650 adventura, how much of a difference in power do you notice?

What has happened to you, why no update please?
i did love my clx til the CEL came on at like 2700 miles, now im not so sure about cfmoto...
В чем дело
Thought that bike came with hand guards?
Sadly not in the U.S. This bike actually doesn't come with a lot of things that the overseas model does. Such as a front crash guard and fog lamps.
I’d like the crash frame as well.
I found one of these used at a local dealer. It literally has 5 miles on it. I can pick it up for $4500 out the door. Seems like a screaming deal.
Oh for sure.
I bought it. It is a great bike.
great bike, exceptional price, phenomenal features, too high for me...
To put their cruise on it, it needs throttle by wire.

Harley Davidson is a bad comparison! Harley Sucks! I have owned a 2003 Fatboy! Worst bike I have ever owned!
To each his own my friend. I really enjoy both my Harley and this bike there are few bad things to say about both. Harley has come a long way since 03 though.
It’s called an owners manual. Read it before you do a review. Then you wouldn’t make yourself look so inept 👎
Really just trying to figure out what I needed an owners manual for? However I’m so inept so I guess I don’t understand where you’re coming from.
I just bought a brandnew one couple of weeks ago. Still breakin it in but love it. I don't see difference in ridemodes🫣.
I can't tell a big difference in the modes during highway riding however I can def tell a difference going up a twisty mountain or hitting some real curvy backroads.
What's the up/down used for on the bars?
@@bikesmicsandbeers3812 I don't know if they changed the software, but the 2021 model there is absolutely NO difference between modes.
