I Rode CFMoto’s Latest Motorcycle , is it as good as it looks?

I ride the latest available motorcycle from CFMOTO in England The CFMOTO 450 CLC ! This was my first Demo day which was organised as a free event by The Bike Sanctuary. I decided a long time ago that I wanted to see what this motorcycle was all about and this turned out to be my first available chance to ride the CFMOTO 450 CLC cruiser.
So if this bike interests you join me on this my first cruiser ride in awhile!
This bike really is the newcomer to the market and has to find a foothold in an established market with the likes of the Royal Enfield Meteor or Shotgun , the Kawasaki Vulcan or the Eliminator and Honda’s Rebel 500.

I would like to point out that the comfort of this motorcycle is very good. This issue with my Hips on this bike is down to my personal flexibility being extremely poor & nothing to do with the bikes ergonomic’s! As with all bikes please test ride and make your own decisions.

It looks better than the Rebel and the Eliminator as well

I’d personally agree with you it really looks amazing, but obviously it’s personal taste.

I think the problem is with those demo-rides is that you can’t get a real good feeling for the bike, I think this bike has certainly the looks but it’s hard to compare with any other bike, it’s kinda in the in between from the RE 350 and RE 650 range…. I definitely gonna check this one out 😊

Think it’s a great idea the demo day take out as many as you like for free so long as you have the right license. If it really feels like it might be one for you book a full test ride. There is very little like this bike and maybe it’s in its own bracket. But it’s on par engine wise with the RE 650s

Nice vid, I’ve been looking for a small displacement lighter cruiser. Not many options with a 270 degree twin in this class. For me it is this or a meteor 650

@BlueHippoMoto 2 ай бұрын

Thank you. I can only go by riding the Shogun 650 , but if you’re not going two up or need the extra torque this engine felt more fun.

@TopNotchPanch 2 ай бұрын

@@BlueHippoMoto yeah that’s what I’ve gathered. There are other cfmoto 450s that share the engine and make 50hp at the crank and 50hp at the wheel uncorked with a tune. So I’m willing to bet if the need for a little more power is there it wouldn’t be too hard to obtain

@seanmack4552 Ай бұрын

@@TopNotchPanchit’s not the same as the other 450 engines hence why it’s less power, it’s the 400 bored out apparently. Not sure why they went that way, it doesn’t need more power though it’s a cruiser. Get a different bike if you want power mate.

@TopNotchPanch Ай бұрын

@@seanmack4552 where did you learn that? From what I gather it’s the same 270 twin detuned, probably with a different intake for wider torque

how is the metal plate attached to the seat? easy to remove or would need to replace the seat?

@BlueHippoMoto 2 ай бұрын

It looks like 2 pop rivets but it could just be glued on , it may mean a replacement seat cover from an aftermarket source.

@Brettmotorcycles Ай бұрын

This or the Super Meteor? Like the looks and the tech better on cf moto. How fast did you get it

@BlueHippoMoto Ай бұрын

As I had to ride at the pace of every one else it will easily do 60 mph

@Brettmotorcycles 28 күн бұрын

The big difference is not much horsepower difference and the RE is way heavier…also the windscreen for the SM is worthless so that bike is not really made for highway either

@BlueHippoMoto 28 күн бұрын

The RE Shotgun is heavy but so is my CFMoto 650 MT the soft tune on the RE Shotgun 650 engine is not understandable. Whereas The 450 cc CLC has a very engaging engine but would likely be close to max power. The weight of such a small bike is going to benefit the CLC performance wise , both can do motorway speeds would it be there best functionality no. Both are better A & B road motorcycles.

Need a 450 supermoto version, would sell loads.

@BlueHippoMoto Ай бұрын

Could you not turn the new MT 450 into a super moto with a quick tyre change ?

@Thegeordiemonkey Ай бұрын

@@BlueHippoMoto too much hassle, need to lose all the bulk, strip it all back to basics and make the geometry to suit, that motor in a super fun motard frame would be right up my street.

@Thegeordiemonkey I think I just learned there’s a difference other than tyres between the two , never knew.

You think that is small for my height? 186cm

@BlueHippoMoto Ай бұрын

It’s probably not while riding but putting your feet down you might find your knees very high up. Always worth checking

@InsaneLegenD756 15 күн бұрын

I'm 183 cm and fit perfectly on it. I doubt the 3 cm will make a big difference but try first before buying it obviously. 😁

I never trust a review from an organised test ride, always biased 'cause they want to get asked back. An owners review is worth way more salt.

@BlueHippoMoto Ай бұрын

The thing is you don’t learn enough from most bikes in 30/60 mins or even a couple of hundred miles , time in the seat and decent ownership time is far more telling if they didn’t get that lemon built last thing on a Friday l.
