CFMOTO 450 MT - Australia First Impression

Well done Pete! A good close up, detailed look and see. I checked out that 450MT, and it has alot to offer. Time will tell, but hopefully it makes purchaser's happy. Thanks for sharing Pete!! 👍😁

It's a bloody great looking machine. We might have to look at making some parts for it ;)

Thanks Pete. I ordered mine a while ago. Should be here soon and I am super excited to try it out. Looks like a good package and by all accounts, it appears to be as good as it looks on paper!

G’day Pete, Wow what a smick awesome looking adventure bike definitely looks the part, I’ll be keen to check one out, fantastic vid mate cheers Mick

G'day Pete, what an exciting time for adventure riders, with all these different varieties coming onto the marketplace, plus the added bonus of a great pricing structure, I'm sure theyll sell quite well Great detailed first look . Cheers 🍻

Great vid Pete. I sat on one at MCAS Dandenong today also. Very nice bike, like a mini T7. Felt light too but it had no fuel or oil. If it was 175kg wet it would be winner. Bargain for what you get.

This bike seems to tick all the boxes. And it looks fantastic! Thanks for posting this, Pete. As a guy in my 70s, it might be my Unicorn.

This old bloke is picking his up in 2 weeks. Dropping 50kgs from the F850 GSA. Hoping that this will be a tad easier to pick up. Specs look ideal for me, time will tell.

Cant wait to get mine

Awesome looking bike. I have watched many reviews on this bike now and my main concerns are fuel consumption and maintenance out in the field. Also alot of plastic on this bike compared to say the new Himalayan 450. So durability on the plastics will be interesting. The price point is around the same as the Himalayan 450 which doesn't surprise me. I'm still undecided on which bike I will purchase but I'm a patient guy. I'll give it another couple of months before I lay down my cash on my next adventure bike. Thankyou for sharing.

Once everyone starts getting these on the road the hottest YouTube comparison review will be this vs the new Himalayan. Geez you get a lot for your money hey. I hope everyone who buys these new bikes have an awesome experience because some may think they’ve taken a risk site unseen. But for under $10k you have to roll the dice right? Great little review mate.

Thanks for the heads up! I actually took that one for a test ride recently after getting ADR approval. It rode brilliantly except for the slack throttle cable made the ride a bit on-off in turns. Nothing major that some spanners can’t fix. Have you test rode one?

I think this bike will come to be seen as a watershed moment for Chinese bikes & will sell like hot cakes. A game changer for sure.

The MT800 has just come out in Britain and a friend of mine The Bingley Wheeler just bought one and it looks marvelous so when the 450 arrives here one could be arriving in my garage, excilent first look FP :)

Perfect bike for adventure

Looks pretty good 👍

Would love this bike next to my fjr 1300

Definitely my next purchase

Great looking bike! 👍

Very good looking bike!
