QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Dec 10 2020, 09:53 AM) The Chinese assault on the adventure tourer market has given Suzuki the kick in the ass to stop being lazy and to update the V-Strom 650. Although the current V-strom 650 model is technically only 3 years old, Suzuki's lazy decision to stick with a 650cc engine, analog dash, halogen headlights & incandescent bulb turnsignals means it will be outmuscled, outperformed and outstyled next year by the Chinese. So there's word that a major revamp will take place, using a brand new parallel twin engine. I bet Kawasaki too will revamp their Versys 650 in response to the Chinese threat. A little competition is always a good thing! https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcycle...ki-v-strom-650/Biggest hurdle is to change mindsets and stigma against Chinese brands, My bro has the CFMoto 650GT and he is happy with it. Needs people to stick their neck out to buy a Chinese bike before Suzuki or Kawasaki feels any threat. Otherwise, they will just say, "Even with all those new gadgets, people still won't buy a CF Moto, no threat to us selling old stuff". |

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Aug 17 2021, 09:31 AM) Best ringgit to displacement ratio ever...!! Beats the pants off the Benelli 752s. Me, I don't like the ekor kontot tho... Me too, I wonder who came up with this trend of ekor kontot...IMHO, it is ugly, no proper passenger seat and no grab rails...Not passenger friendly  Plus the ekor kontot design makes the bike look front heavy. Not balanced This post has been edited by lowpro: Aug 17 2021, 09:58 AM |

Just curious, what's the big deal with spoked wheels if the bike will be used 99% on paved roads and highways? To me, they're hard to clean and adds to the height (I'm vertically challenged). I prefer the alloy wheel version which they aren't bringing in

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Dec 22 2022, 05:03 PM) Rugged looks lor. Technically spoked rims do not add to the height per se, as it is the diameter of the rim that does. So no diff between a 19" spoked rim vs a 19" alloy rim typical of road-biased adv bikes, if using the same 80-series rubber (as is the case with the 800MT). If got 21" spoked rim instead, memang tinggilah sikit vs a 19" alloy rim (alloy rims don't exist in 21" as this is a size exclusively reserved for off-road biased bikes). "Technically spoked rims do not add to the height per se, as it is the diameter of the rim that does.

Just to clarify, are the alloys on the 800 MT Sport 17" or 19"? I think I could have mistaken the sizes. I know the 800 MT Sport R comes with a 17" front though as per the article below: https://www.visordown.com/news/new-bikes/ag...-revealed-worldThis post has been edited by lowpro: Dec 23 2022, 08:23 AM |

QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Dec 23 2022, 09:19 AM) These bikes are designed mainly to go off-road . Adventure rides. Spoke wheels are more sturdy than ones piece alloy rims. And with all the off-road trashing, the wheels may go out of alignment. This type of rims is easier to get it straighten up again by tweeking the spoke tension. Yup I know the benefits of spoke wheels but majority of owners won't take those bikes off road. They just want the looks |

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Dec 26 2022, 12:07 AM) GS Cycle too have received their stock, it seems. 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... They're the first group in marketing terms called innovators who would take to new ideas, things, concepts earlier than anyone else. Similar to those who buy the BYD Atto 3 and Ora Good Cat EV cars (actually the real innovators are the rich as the EV car market here is taking a top down acceptance approach) before the skeptics start believing. Next would be the early adopters followed by the early and late majority. Finally there are the laggards. These are the people who want to see that everything is safe first for them to buy. Must see resale value lah, must see spare parts price and availability lah, must see if got sc hear their house who can handle or not lah, must see if neighbour buy or not lah, then must hear if neighbour or friend or uncle and aunty have complained or not first lah etc...
