In reply to Nicholas. this nicholas dood is lying. i ve seen with my own eyes the 450sr is a premium product. the tft display, brembo caliper, the whole cockpit feels really expensive. very pleasing to touch and look at. i ve not ridden it so i cant comment on performance

In reply to Dinger. Complete L take and filled with lies though. Calling it slow when it's the quickest bike in its class. Walks away from both the ninja 400 and cbr 500. Beating them both in acceleration and top speed. Then saying it feels cheap when I've owned the majority of the he japanese brands and ridden pretty much every brand and the cf Moto is by far the most premium feeling. Dudes just straight up lying and bias.

In reply to AceJames. I am trying to get my hands on a CF450SR also and was interested in the bike comfort for general riding I am 5-11 tall and was curious how you rate this bike for 1 hour canyon riding?

In reply to Rob. He rode the bikes and shared his experience. You sound like a marketing person for CFMoto.

In reply to Nicholas. You must not know what you are feeling, looking at or riding. CFMOTO bikes are premium! Great power delivery, smooth transmissions, excellent built quality, fit and finish and buttons that feel great.

I’ve owned mine for about a month now. I’ve been very impressed with the bike. For the cost there is a lot of extras compared to the Japanese bikes. I’m currently at 550 miles on the odometer. Time will tell on how she holds up compared to the Japanese bikes.

Rode all the CFMOTO bikes at Daytona Bike Week in March 2023. I was very impressed by the overall appearance of the motorcycles. However the demo rides convinced me that they are at least two generations behind the Japanese, American, and European manufacturers.
For instance; all the turn signal switches were loose broken or so vague it was a negative distraction.
The get up and go got up and went. These are some of the most sluggish and just plain underpowered, overweight motorcycles I have ridden. Since I live close to Daytona I have been at every demo event since 1971 and ridden all the bikes available from all the manufacturers. I have been riding for 53 years and currently have a 2006 Honda VTX 1300 retro, 2016 Suzuki GSX-S1000f and a2020 Yamaha Vmax 1700. Past bikes were: Harely 1200,Triumph Bonneville, Honda CB750, Honda 160, 350 and a550 four. Also a BSA Victor 441 dirt bike. Compared to a Honda motorcycle these CF Moto bikes are almost like an online Amazon level product. Pretty hard pass at present.

They look OK but thousands of dollars, for a bike that might have little stuff you don’t like. I solved my problem with an old CBR600 at about $1200, then bought a new fairing and all the little stuff to make it just right for me, which came out to another $1500. For less than $3000 I have the bike I want, it has all the power and is a proven bike. New is nice but when you get over 70 years old, you want the thing that fits you and performs the way you want.

Look forward to seeing what other permutations this engine is used in. Curious that for a moderate revving twin, the torque seems low. Fun to be had, but curious tuning.

I like the Zircon black one!
