Thank you. Unable to view the vid as in office, hence checked if there is any issues and the fuel consumption like. No worries. Will c it later.

chase on two wheels,

anyone here own the 800MT? interested to get one... Australian FB groups all saying good things about it but still skeptical and waiting to see if they will launch the Explore version in MY.

Me too.
Check out the European vids on YT.

In French...interesting especially the part about lifting it.
(no i do not speak french)

CFMOTO 800MT Explorer

for anyone who doesn°t know,
if the youtube vid has sub in foreign lang,
u can use the auto translate function, and the sub will be in english.

there's more review on french and greek than english lol... even australian not much about the Explore version

The US 2023 iBEX model (can shee the chase on wheels youtube above), changes are

1. No more free panniers and top box but still had those brackets installed.
2. Engine guard and spot light still come standards still.
3. Traction Control added (2022 doesn't have)
4. Extra riding mode (off-road mode = Disable the TCS and ABS)
5. AU derived fueling map. (improvement over the Mainland factory tuning)

My assumption was, the MY stock still 2022 bikes, if came with panniers and no TCS then it still 2022 builds.

I am too aiming on this bike since my experience with CLX700 somewhat satisfying before.

the Explore version got more goodies, multistrada goodies + android auto/apple car play

group buy?

went to test ride at CA Cycle Advance Kajang yesterday.

the bike is comfortable and packed with nice tech

things i dont like:

throttle is too twitchy for my liking similar to MT09 and KTM's, small movement to the throttle will pull the bike already

the turn signal button got no feedback, need to see tft to see if you already indicated to turn

other than that the bike felt really nice, they lowered the bike slightly so i was able to flat foot at 190cm, people lesser than me might need to tippy toe


can contact Simon to book your test ride +60 19-409 3229

just give your IC and can ride, he encourages to try riding on the highway

OTR price with single rider is around RM53k

Maybe in Sports mode

The fuel mapping seems to be a common problem which everyone is complaining from what i read/seen.

CFMoto has already came out with an update but I guess it hasn't arrive here yet.

TCS demo




local owners..

CFmoto 700MT kambing. Instead of a scaled-down 800MT, it's a scaled-up 650MT with the engine from the 700 CLX.




CFMOTO 700MT ADDS MIDDLE OPTION TO CHINESE BRAND'S TOURING RANGE
The CFMoto 700MT is the latest addition to the Chinese manufacturer's touring range, with almost 70 horsepower from its 693cc engine.


The CFMoto 700MT has arrived as the middle ground model in the Chinese brand’s touring range, using an engine that it has utilised in the past.

CFMoto’s partnership with KTM continues to grow, and, on the face of it, this is shown in the engine of the new CFMoto 700MT.

693cc with 55kW (66hp) sounds similar to the engine used in the KTM 690 SMC R and KTM 690 Enduro R. However, there is a fairly significant difference between the KTM unit and that used in the CFMoto 700MT, that being the number of cylinders: one for the KTM, two for the CFMoto.

Instead, the CFMoto's engine comes from Kawasaki, and is the same unit used in the CFMoto 700CL-X Heritage, derived from the motor used in Kawasaki's Z650 and ER-6F. For both the CL-X and 700MT, CFMoto lengthens the stroke to increase the capacity from 650cc to 693cc. 66hp and 60Nm are the result.

That means the 700MT is slightly down compared to the similarly sized Yamaha Tracer 7 and Suzuki V-Strom 650, and also not a huge increase over its own smaller sibling, the 650MT, which produces 60hp and 56Nm. The 700MT’s 18-litre fuel tank is larger than the Tracer 7’s 17-litre tank, but two litres smaller than that of the V-Strom 650.

A chromoly-steel frame helps keep the weight to 218kg, the same as the aforementioned 650MT, while wheel travel on the 700MT is 140mm at the front, thanks to 43mm USD forks, and 45mm at the rear courtesy of the single shock absorber.

Pirelli is called on for tyres, providing a 120/70 ZR17 at the front and a 160/60 ZR17 at the rear.

The CFMoto 700MT is also equipped with a five-inch TFT display, USB-A and USB-B sockets, standard ABS, and LED headlights.

Available in two colours - Nebula White and Nebula Black - the CFMoto 700MT is priced at £6,699 and will be available from authorised UK dealers in mid-July 2023.

Greeks always get them first....

personally, i still like 800mt explorer.

Anyone has any thoughts about BMW 800GS vs CF Moto 800MT Tour/Explorer.
Looking for opinions for future purchase.
