Great and detailed review! I do wish the review also covered the bike's adjustable suspension with compression, rebound, and preload both in front and at the rear. It's another significant feature that makes this bike unique in its class and price range. No need to worry about weight, because buyers can really make this bike theirs, no matter how light or heavy they and their luggage may be.
5:56 - I don't think the weight is an issue at all for beginner riders. It is on par with the likes of the SV650, and it hides it well by having a small fuel tank & carrying most of the weight down low (fat rear & 18" inch front help anchor it all down pretty well). Initially the 180-deg parallel twin put me off but after test riding it recently I found it to be the best execution of this garden variety parallel twin available -- the induction noise is definitely a highlight & really sets it apart! The feel of the switchgear takes some getting used to though coz they're membrane switches, like on my Triumph Tiger 850. Not the clicky traditional type, but they are definitely a far cry from the cheap-feeling ones on, say, Benelli QJ bikes. Overall, a more modern & far better specced offering than the SV650, better sounding than the Z650 and, where I live, a hell lot cheaper than the MT-07. My 5'3" wife who's looking for her first bike was instantly swayed from her initial choice the SV650.
All the features that this bike brings to the table in it's price range is really something we've never seen before in before. The only problem i can see right now is the bike's fuel consumption. It's almost 1L more compared to SV650 while having a smaller fuel tank, which results in almost 100km less mileage on one full tank. And i'm afraid that will be all that matters in the upcoming future my friend. It's really sad, because this bike could have start a revolution ...
I have seen this bike personally at motostrada. The silver with leather seats are the bomb! Imma get one soon! BTW. Kudos to the owner of motostrada. They are closed last holiday but they still let me in to check out the bike and showed me around the whole facility! AAA+++ service I say!
Big thanks Jinno and greetings from Australia…. Great review and the most detailed yet. I have my CFMOTO 800 mt on order and chose the same spec as yours including top box and panniers. So good to see a proper review and safe riding!
Certainly a feature packed bike, but I cannot resolve myself with the looks. The Yamaha XSR and the Honda CB650R are so much more sharp in the neo retro department. I had a look at these last summer and I couldn’t get along with the looks, ended up going with a similar priced Yamaha R3. I guess for the price, the CFMoto is really good value, they all just slightly miss the mark in styling. That’s my opinion, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
@@georgem2456 sorry for the very late reply. suspension is good sir.. I did not have to adjust the settings from the factory. You can still adjust them if needed.
Thank you for showing this CF model! Originally I was considering the NK but you have changed my mind (I just got home from the dealer). On another note: will you let me know the HJC helmet you wear in the review? The checkered design is awesome. Thank you.
Great review! Love the detailed breakdown of the ride and components. Would love for you to do a long term test review, maybe after a year of ownership. Also a ride comparison to say Yamaha's MT-07 which I believe is one of its competitors. While I'm impressed with its components and price, especially for an initial offering, time will tell regarding its reliability, especially compared to its Japanese rivals
Great review 👍 I'm buying one and can't wait until I get it! I'm 65 and ride a '05 Road King Classic with 16" apes and it's getting to be a little hard on my shoulders. Plus I want a scrambler to ride fire roads in my area. Witch is right in the middle of Orygun!
Interesting review. In Australia this bike would not be considered a beginner/ learner bike based upon power/torque. Ie < 40kw. 3yr unlimited km warranty and $P, good quality branded components it's work a serious look. C.f. Honda cb650r neo retro I would think is closest comparison. Ps is the engine a copy of the Kawasaki 650 parallel twin?
I like both, but I’m really more a classic type person, and I enjoy the simplicity of the RE.... if you want something with more features, the CLX could be worth looking at.
@@braayan03 Hey dude i am leaning toward RE too. I tested RE but not the cfmoto. Best way for me to sum it up is it rides like a mazda miata/mx-5 of bike world. It is more than the sum of its part. It rides better than it spec read.
should mention upfront what crankshaft it has, as it sets the firing order. edit: sounds like crossplane at the sound test.. but on other vid it sounds like flatplane
I want to buy a motorcycle for the first time, for city and highway, and my pal is to buy a Xmax300, but when I saw this i decide to write you maybe you can told me an advice. Thanks 🙏
i bought a new one 2 weeks ago, check engine an hour into riding from the dealer, p057129 code, dealer says air sensor...not sure if crappy reliability or a lemon, but since day one, when you turn the throttle, i hear a weird sound next to the radiator/ tank, did you notice a sound when testing it?
Hi MotorDeal, i'm from Vietnam can you answer for me about my last issue before take the money down is this bike can mount the top case and side case too? Or just only side bag?
They are based in PHILLIPINES how will they know about India. But to tell you xsr would probably come by the end of 2021 in India currently they are planning to launch FZX 160.
RE is so basic and I don't think that's a good investment, I mean you could get a TMX and turn it to scramble, its more beautiful than a stock head RE. CLX700, i saw a group in tagaytay, its a head turner, I thought it was xsr900...grabe ganda pumunit.
sending love from turkey, this is the first review i found nice job
her yerdeyiz :))
T'yi büyük yaz bari millet hindi sanacak.
The attention the design engineers put on this was damn insane

I just found out about this bike's existence. Totally in love with the design. Quite affordable here in Malaysia. Thank you for the great review :)
May i know how much the price in Malaysia ?

Fantastic review, went to look at one today in the UK but so glad I can get them in the Philippines as I want to live there soon, salamat po!

In terms of looks it fits really well between an MT-07 and XSR-700

Buddy….your English is impeccable ! Thanks for the review !
Bike matches your helmet perfectly
Bike is nicer than I expected. It seems to fill the gap between wanting a Svartpilen 701 but only having budget for the 401
Read reviews of reliability of these 2 bikes

2:49 MT-60 is a dual sport so looks like the bike is intended for multiple road types , cross-country without looking like an adventure bike
Beautiful bike....and your review was off the charts. You sold me on it. Now if you could please arrange delivery to the U.S. that would be great. :)
buy it in Mexico!!
Looks like a smaller FTR 1200 from the back. I must say I like it.
Sure wish they'd make one with a low seat height like the Honda Rebel. I'd buy that especially with hp like the Rebel 1100.
I do like the look of this bike … is it coming to the uk 🇬🇧🤙 … nice review thanks
Wish there was bigger version since i am 6.4. Think this one would be small for me 😞
Such a beautiful bike ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sir Jino this is a very good video review... it just needs a video clip of riding with engine sound..
Good review! Love my CL-X. You are right with the rear brakes though, hope it will improve overtime.
How does it cope with bad road ? Is the suspension good ?
Hows the maintenance sir? Mahal? And parts mahirap ba hanapin?
@@georgem2456 sorry for the very late reply. suspension is good sir.. I did not have to adjust the settings from the factory. You can still adjust them if needed.
@@ralph9932 Hindi naman mahal ang maintenance.. Motostrada have parts and have good aftersales service.
@@darreldavid12 No worries mate, thanks for your feedback anyway

Would anyone agree that CF Moto is kinda like the Geely of Motorcycles?
Yeah
Loves the video quality! Its great 😃😃
Love your videos!!!! Just starting to get into motorcycle, can you please do a video on top 5 beginners cafe racer?
Good detailed video.
You maid me thinking about trading in my Rebel 1100cc DCT soon. I don't like the ergonomics of the rebel. Greetings from NJ USA.

Nice tidy tail. Spoilt by the tyre hugger, they've used instead. Exhaust has a nice bark to it though.
Swabe ng B-ROLL during "gearing up to ride" someday baka ito ang next motorcycle ko :)
Good n nice review Jinno...the best about the CLX700 so far...
Great review, please do Voge 500r one 👍
Great vid have you any idea of when coming to the UK ,, keep up your good work
It is always advisable to put the cap on coolant bottle before riding. :) See at 2:18 :)
Thanks for the upload. I just downloaded the latest Owner's Manual. I guess the new bikes have a Fuel Consumption on the Gauge?
Well I bought it! And it's everything that has been said about it!
Because this is based on the Kawi Z engine... do you think or know if parts interchangeable? (oil filter, air filter, exhausts)
take a look at Indian FTR 1200, this looks almost like that
Very nice motorcycle review and you're looking very good on CF Moto 700 motorcycle⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
I am shopping RE interceptor and this bike. The price is almost identical in Australia. Which one would you choose?
We are in the same boat. I'm torn between the two.
I'd get the Interceptor, if I were you.
I like both, but I’m really more a classic type person, and I enjoy the simplicity of the RE.... if you want something with more features, the CLX could be worth looking at.

@@JRUF40 I am more less trying to justify NOT buying RE. The bike feels right. I am afraid if i get the interceptor i might not buy any other bike.
should mention upfront what crankshaft it has, as it sets the firing order.
edit: sounds like crossplane at the sound test.. but on other vid it sounds like flatplane
Nice video! Hope i have seen this before deciding.. hehe. Loved your jacket too. Share naman the brand and variant pls. Thanks!
Hello. Very nice reviews. I am between the clx700 heritage and the 650gt. Can you give an opinion since you reviewed both of them. Thank you
Love the CLX SPORT
Eyeing for this as my first bike, hopefully I would be able to handle this hahaha.
Nice bike... can’t beat any of the top naked bikes like the Yamaha xsr700
Dude your videos are as always professional. Happy riding ad thanks for sharing, I'll subscribe to your channel 😊😊
Please do a review on the Kymco AK550. :)
I want to buy a motorcycle for the first time, for city and highway, and my pal is to buy a Xmax300, but when I saw this i decide to write you maybe you can told me an advice. Thanks 🙏
Can you review the cg moto 300sr
Good review !!! 😁
Parang cb din ang purma.. ride safe brother ..
Can you review the Honda CBR500R???
This is the Adventure variant I think.
this bike famous all over south east asia not just the pines.
I don't like the 110 front tire. Plus the single front disc.
Needs more displacement. Anyone know if that's going to happen to the CLX?
Review of the 300cc version please 🙏🏻 😊
Great review. Great video.

The looks is f*ing amazing!
what is your inseam? your height does not matter when it comes to inseam.
every inseam differs from each rider, height does not matter.
I will buy one of these for sure 😃😊
It looks more like the Indian FTR 1200 to me...
please review the sport version
Hi MotorDeal, i'm from Vietnam can you answer for me about my last issue before take the money down is this bike can mount the top case and side case too? Or just only side bag?
If you say this gets warm - have you ridden a Gen1 Yamaha FJR1300?
My next bike!
how does the suspensions feel? does it have abs as well? but considering the price for a 700cc bike , this is darn cheap!
Hey man can you kindly state if it's just as reliable and well put together compared to a Japanese four cylinder inline?
NICE REVIEW .! can i know the model of your helmet ?
What about a long term review?
Boss Jinno, possible ba or kasya ba ang 120/80 or 120/70 na gulong sa harap?
I wonder how it competes with the Benelli Leoncino 800.
I NEED to get his helmet!! Where can I buy it??
Sir Jino, details naman sa helmet :D
How will this compare to a Ninja z650 or a Yamaha MT-07?
clear description
what's the recommended octane rating for this kind of bike?
is there a way you can put a topbox to the Heritage?
I love your style ❤️❤️❤️
Btw is xsr155 coming to India??
They are based in PHILLIPINES how will they know about India.
But to tell you xsr would probably come by the end of 2021 in India currently they are planning to launch FZX 160.
@@adityarai5367 ok bro, thanks
How to pick up the bike, if it falls over?
Does anyone know where I can get a rear fender eliminator kit for this bike?
RE is so basic and I don't think that's a good investment, I mean you could get a TMX and turn it to scramble, its more beautiful than a stock head RE. CLX700, i saw a group in tagaytay, its a head turner, I thought it was xsr900...grabe ganda pumunit.
Well done!
It kinda reminds me of the Husqvarna 701 Svartpilen
Hi, height 1200mm, is it handlebars height or rear view mirror height ?
Hi! Did they fix the laggy throttle response?
I like the design very much but not the exhaust note. Very lame sound. If it have exhaust note like Leocino 502, it would be awesome.
Selamat, Selamat from 🇲🇾
Can you review ninja 400 and r3 sir?
Can you turn of the self cancelling turn signal, it would be a problem if you will be taking your exit and the turn signal keeps turning off.
I agree. Working with my dealer on that. Very dangerous.
Over 14K US Dollars in Pakistan.
Yamaha R3 review please!!
No need to hold the start button ;-)
