Oops !WTF
Hope to hear you ride past on your new wheels soon . . . . or was that you riding past yesterday afternoon, causing the dogs to bark and all of her-in-doors ornaments to rattle off of the mantle piece
CF Moto 1000 MTX
- Thread starter Arsey
- Start date
My outstandingly reliable , never breaks down, Yamaha Super Tenere...has let me down, badly !
I leave for a 3 month trip beginning of June, so, do I bin the trip
No, do I fuck, I put a deposit down on one of these...hopefully to arrive at my Mr Moto dealer either Wednesday or Thursday.
Then, let the farkling commence. Hello Ali X, Hi to Uncle Wang
I had a couple of test rides on the 800 version first, solo, and with pillion...and I/we were suitably impressed, with both , arse space, and power.
The 1000 MT-X, has a..re-worked, new ( but already out on KTM Duke ) engine..so no problems with early camshaft wear, Brembo brakes, KYB suspension, Bosch electronics, and more...WTF.
And, a 4 year warranty !
I admit, the airbox needs modified, and it will be before I head off....but ( apart from the elephant in the room ), I really can't find any negatives.
Rade Garage ( CZ ), are working on, and starting to produce upgrades for the 1000 already. I have been in contact with them, so some lower and wider pegs are on their way, and I'll grab one of their screens once I'm further into Euroland.
Rade, make some quality upgrades , but only for bikes that they deem to be suitable !
I'm waiting to see what Adventure Spec also come up with..
Assume you’ve received your bike ?
Mr Spenz is, I think, un-likely to reply as he may well be on his way south then east . . . on his CFMoto 1000MT-X

Sorry for a late reply, once I'm moving I tend to switch off !
Yes, received, and now 3k km in ( Gdansk tomorrow ).
A totally different machine to what I'm used to ( think S10 & 950 SE ), but...I'm loving it so far.
It needs, a re-worked seat ( I have an AliExpress 885, but still too soft ), lower pegs ( hoping to receive mine in BG, sent from Rade soon ), and some screen work !
Apart from some cosmetics..
But, I had to deal with a catastrophic failure, and had to ride 2 hours out of my way, so that a BMW Motorad / CF-MOTO dealership could change a leaky fuel tap o-ring..
Free of charge, but a healthy tip left for the lovely lady mechanic ( drained tank etc ).
This particular Motorad dealership is 50/50...BMW downstairs, CF-MOTO upstairs.
Kinda says something.

Hi Steve.Mr Spenz is, I think, un-likely to reply as he may well be on his way south then east . . . on his CFMoto 1000MT-X

Yeah, heading Eastish, Gdansk tomorrow, then Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, meeting Maureen in Motocamp Bulgaria..then heading more east, and south, hopefully Armenia.
We'll both be working at Motocamp BG for their HU Meeting, will then head towards Georgia / Armenia.
Loving the bike so far, I like KTMs, ( own a 690 and also a 950SE )...and when I get a chance to de-cat, remap, fit a foam filter, Wings or Akrapovich...this particular model will be right up there, along with all the other affordable ( Chinese ) legends
Oops, a random ( my inner pikey pic ) included by mistake !
£8895 OTR..when I bought it.
And..My MT-X was the first one registered OTR in Scotland, 2nd in UK, unplanned !
Bit of a gamble, some might say..
But this isn't the first time that I've been involved in the early development of a product..different story
