I own exactly the same bike and same color, I love it and I don't feel it's heavy at all or under powered and I'm a 5'8" 63 year old female who's been riding for 45 years. One thing you said is correct... the eco and sports mode make absolutely no difference, but that might change when they release a new software update.
I don't know who told you they are unreliable? The research I done on this bike is the reason I bought the same model and color as you're test riding. They are bullet proof and since 1989 they have been manufacturing engine parts for bike all over the world as you mentioned, parts are easy to obtain as any motorcycle.
I have heard that many people who just say that because of it being a Chinese brand. I agree with you regarding the quality and availability of parts. They are top notch!
I just read an article stating that by next year they figure CF Moto will take the market. They are nice bikes in comparison to the higher priced ones.
My CF650Nk is due to be delivered in the next few days. No brainer for me - brought new and it was at least £3000 less than any of the Japanese/British alternatives and as someone else said has a 4 year warrantee in the UK. Mine is the same colour scheme and I love those yellow wheels.
You have right... The times is changing and the Chinese premium motorcycles are very beautiful and some of them reliable too. They must be reliable and well manufacture to hit the competition. So, if they listen to their customers and they fix the "bad" things they will have a big piece of the market.
Excellent buy!...no problems at all and Plenty's parts...rides very nice as good as my suzuki gladius, if you rev it more to its power band you can definitely feel the power.
That's good to hear! I have been getting so many comments saying that CF Moto isn't reliable and I just don't see that. The quality in my experience has been incredible and to come with a 2 year warranty is amazing!
I have one of these bikes, and when I get to the 5000 to 6000 rpm mode, this bike comes alive like it wants to go out from under you. You start getting there very fast .
BS I have a 300nk and it works like a charm same with the parts support which i wanted to replace a side plastic on the tank. They are getting also new models nearly every year and update a lot of parts.Like the screen etc.In nearly 3-4 years they changes like 3-4 screens on their bikes. Yamaha doesnt even have usd on bikes like Tracer.
I believe the MODES work the same, and the only reason to change the screen/modes is to look at ECO type data, the performance is the same. Look at the types of data on the two screens, thats all the MODE changes effect......IMHO
the fact you say its heavy means they are using cheaper parts then for this bike which shows why the price is lower vs its closes competitor which is the z650 from kawasaki which has always been the cheapest out of the big 4. Also because it a parallel twin people tend u just lean to the nk400
I have a 400 NK and I can tell a big difference in Sport mode, When you get to around 3800 to 4000 RPM mine wants to go out from under me and the front wheel lofts off the ground when changing gears. These bikes like the higher RPM range it seems. They have a 45 degree tilt safety shut off and can be located if stolen, dual overhead cam, tire pressure warning and so on . The brakes are made by JJaun which is a subsidiary company of Brembo and make the best braided lines in the business. For the technology that is in the bike and cost and your looking for a cruiser or adventure bike and NOT a race bike I feel you get more bang for the buck here. I paid 248,000 PH pesos for mine.
Well, the Japanese motorcycles are renowned for their unmatched reliability and good resale values and the extensive dealers network in most countries . The cfmoto are improving every year but for my money I would rather pay a bit extra and a peace of mind that my bike will last for many years to come and parts are readily available
I've noticed recently that bike shops don't just carry 1 or 2 brands anymore, and cfmoto seems to be available at half or so of them. The parts from what I've heard are super expensive and take forever to come in, however, but if you're willing to order from scummy aliexpress stuff is readily available and super cheap.
Thanks for the comment William! It's refreshing to hear form someone who has actually owned and rode it instead of people who just comment without even having looked at the bike in person. You are right about the power, it's needs a bit more pep! I am sure that soon, there will be some good tuning available for these!

It feels heavy to me.

I have a CF 400nk currently and I am in love with the bike. 650nk is my dream
That's awesome! Congrats man! Maybe in a couple of years, it might be time for an upgrade? 😆😉

Congrats man! It's a great bike!!
I have 2 cf moto atvs and parts are easy to get.The only reason people say things about cf moto is because it’s not Yamaha Honda or Kawasaki.
That's so true.. its normal to be apprehensive of a new brand though and maybe once people give it a chance, they will change their mind about it!

Where are you getting your parts from? I just got this bike the other day
Excellent buy!...no problems at all and Plenty's parts...rides very nice as good as my suzuki gladius, if you rev it more to its power band you can definitely feel the power.

Yes if you get mine in the 3800 to 4000 range its like being shot out of a sling shot .I like how it handles and rides also
Right? It's such a great value for money!
Currently giving 4 years warranty here in UK 😃
CF moto is the engine of choice for super twins at Isle Of Man TT.
Is it? That's awesome, I had no clue
I have one of these bikes, and when I get to the 5000 to 6000 rpm mode, this bike comes alive like it wants to go out from under you. You start getting there very fast .
Doesn't it? It's a blast!!

I wish they had that screen for my 21 SP 😊 overall great bike I love it!
That's screen is 🔥!
You only come to red light. Did not see acceleration..

Good information, brother! Thanks for the comment :)
@@nonaansense ery welcome brother
Great review man!!
Thank you!
Well, the Japanese motorcycles are renowned for their unmatched reliability and good resale values and the extensive dealers network in most countries .
The cfmoto are improving every year but for my money I would rather pay a bit extra and a peace of mind that my bike will last for many years to come and parts are readily available
I've had Cfmoto for 5 years never had a problem getting parts at all and very reliable
I've noticed recently that bike shops don't just carry 1 or 2 brands anymore, and cfmoto seems to be available at half or so of them. The parts from what I've heard are super expensive and take forever to come in, however, but if you're willing to order from scummy aliexpress stuff is readily available and super cheap.
In Europe,Romania, this bike has 5 years warranty.
Wow.. that's an extraordinarily long warranty!
Which makes the buy even better
Is cf moto have a slippery clutch for this model 2022 nk650?
Yes it does!
@@nonaansense oh nice thanks. At least it's not hard to press the clutch as NK400
This model was discontinued in China.🥹
U can have navigation thru the app m8 ? Cheers
Yes! CF Moto has a special riding app which when linked up to the bike gives you all sorts of features including navigation!
There is nothing to adjust on the front suspension dude.
GOOD CFMOTO
Does the power between this 650nk vs 400nk noticable? Im planning to upgrade from 400nk
It is a substantial difference!
Does the bike have a rev limiter?
I believe it does to limit revs during the break-in period, which is removed by the dealer during the first service.
@@nonaansense Mine didnt so be careful not to float some valves
other than its a cheap knock off of the Versys 650 and it's made in China... Only best part about these bikes is their price. Cheap.
Believe me, its quality is very good (except for fuel consumption)😅
@@todmlet2666 agreed! My 650NK is really nice
It's surprisingly very good quality for the price!
Very bad buy, many problems, no parts
VERY BAD BUY. MANY PROBLEMS. NO PARTS.
I own this bike. I have put 2500 miles on it. My only complaint is the power which I think can be changed if I find someone to tune it.
This dude probably paid by someone to comment on every cf moto vid 😂

@@williamcastle3951 Agreed I just got one and love the thing.
