Looks very interesting.
Just hope it has a low seat option.
I don't have the legs for it. Even the 650MT is too tall for me. That one was a real serious temptation....at 28k.

Like someone said, no alloys for 21".
The major benefit of spoked is repairability, important if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere Vs the prospect of a cracked or bent alloy. For our back roads, alloys will be fine. Usually it's up to the rider to be gentle on the wheels. Wheel size is important though. |

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Dec 26 2022, 12:07 AM) GS Cycle too have received their stock, it seems. Well, a lot of people just book and buy first. Then wait.Running on Maxxis Maxx Venture MA1 rubbers, which are an obscure model of tyres not available off the shelf (unlike the Maxx Venture MA-ADV). Probably a factory model specially made to a budget for CFMoto. If that's true, these usually won't last very long. RM53,800 according to GS Cycle's ad on Mudah. Decidedly not cheap for a Chinese bike, but then somewhat of a bargain for something that leverages a popular and successful KTM design. Bob the GS Cycle salesman whom I bought the 700 CL-X from says they received tons of bookings already even before the actual bike showed up this week. For the life of me I can't imagine how people could throw cash at something they haven't even seen yet in the flesh...  Looks like a lot of dealers now, including CFMOTO has a knack in pricing the first batch of bikes lower. (Same goes to Suzuki, when they took over). The same bikes now are a few k more expensive. even after a few months and if you dont like it, the early bird discount will pad most of the depreciation. Given the shortage of bikes from CFMOTO, Honda and the likes, some people just buy first instead of looking at a possible 6 month or more wait for the 2nd batch. The 700 CLX i was looking at is now 3k more. You got the first batch went as low as sub 30k. I think they are now 32-33K lowpro liked this post

QUOTE(Freestyling @ Feb 8 2023, 09:31 PM) any one bought this bike? i bought already, will take the bike next week No idea.But I was parked next to one on my last trip to betong. Spoke to the owner, although it is still too new to gauge reliability. He said it works well, comfortable but heavy. I tried swinging a leg over it but being 5'6" it was a bit too tall and the seat is wide at the legs. Its a huge bike. My dominar looks like a kapchai parked next to it. |
