Have they confirmed what price you will pay?

Have they confirmed what price you will pay?

Yup.several times. Bike, registering, years road tax. oil change miles are quite short ,low volume of oil I expect, valve clearances 24,000 (miles/Km to be confirmed). . So miss my 1150 GS. This’ll do nicely, be my last bike, I expect.

Was looking at losing on the back BUT it seems the consensus is go to 15 (from 14) on the front.

I’ve just received my 15T ready to install. Aussie guys have done a few tests between and 15 is the dogs.

Should be a CFMOTO450SR strip down.

I’m not so sure, it certainly has a middle weight feel to it - I’m pushing 6’5” and didn’t feel like Homer on a mini bike it would just be a bit cramped over a long journey. With a tall seat fitted I’d happily head off into the sunset on it.
We’ll be looking for a test ride soon - 4 year warranty anyone?

There’s a high seat and a low seat available. The rear suspension can also drop seat height from ‘as sold 820 to 800 .

I meant how much is it going to be when it arrives or have you been able to pin them down to a pre-increase price ?

An interesting conclusion

Not sure if this has been posted. Seems to enjoy giving the bike some stick off road. 150 kmh off road, proper test that. Stu Fillingham would be proud

Think the Oz guys have bought all that were made this year ,loadsa guys with them .treating them like shit over the rough stuff too.

Dropped into another dealer, in Wokingham. Ho ho ho, you'll only see one at show until the new year.

However, took the chance to have a really good look at other CFMotos and I have to say they looked very well made. The prices are so far from the established brands, CF are going to really disrupt the bike market.

They won't

 

[arcboutant]

Yes the warranty will swing it for a lot of people. JJH

It will. I hope they realise you MUST get a dealer service or warranty will be void. Do your own servicing and you’d saved enough to buy a new engine if anything went wrong. Also 24000 mls/km till valve clearances check ,the ghost of KTM lingers.

 

[JJH]

Maybe maybe not. How much is a service? How much is an engine? JJH

It’s March, shouldn’t these bikes be appearing soon?
