Look like ktm duke clone

Ktm gave cfmoto the duke 790 enjin blueprint.

the rest cfmoto develop their own...

cfmoto has always looked like ktm colored in blue
still looks great

I have yet to go see the 450SR. Wonder which showroom has that model. CF Moto bikes are becoming more interesting these days.

need to ask MForce... since they like selling scooters.. unsure about the future of CFMoto in MY

This looks good.

And the weight, looks like china finally learning how to make lighter bikes...

test ride production unit.

is that touch screen panel wow

lol... here pipu tangan gatal will yank it out.. jialat..

first 'totalled' 800nk in china...

the clx700 sport also damn nice but CHinese bike huhu

how's the reliability

Almost Two years of ownership, 2 times claim warranty nothing major (rear axle shaft, and the other one vacuum hose) Warranty claimed under KTNS then the 2nd one under MForce.

So far so good. went as far as Phuket and back.

A bit of lazy steering due to 18-inch front wheel, but can opt for the sport version that comes more proper 17' front rim.

Plush suspension front fully adjustable fork and rear KYB. (in a sub 40k bike)

Spare part are affordable pricing, similar engine to Kawa 650, and can buy directly from Taobao for Parts.

Top Speed 210 kmph, easily keep up with other midrange naked bikes up to ulu yam/gohtong. Just don't do late braking especially when attacking apex as the single disc brake show the obvious flaw when like to brake aggressively.

Edited: Mine was CLX700 Heritage, the sport version should have better handling and braking performance.

time to go sit on the Sport model again

if come to malaysia need to compete with z900 at 44k..
new clx 700 sport almost 34k
if priced at 38-40k people will always say 'better buy z900'

in uk same price as hornet ler
i blif in msia will be about z900 price.. lol..
baik beli geng will be heppy...

But hornet kosong spec.

MForce probably will manage to get this here way before BSH dies the new Hondas. Tak boleh guna distributor

NK800 selling price in China is very slightly cheaper than CLX-700.

Judging by that, when it reaches Malaysia it should be around the same price.

Looks like 800NK will be announced at the upcoming KL bikeshow.
Soon we can know the price

like the 450, aft show, price always come later b4 stock mali...

lai baik beli !!

i think only bring in high spec ipad meter ...

when cfmoto refine this bike later, then ok la..
takes time...

Then slowly will the price creep up.. same as CLX700 when launched.

This post has been edited by ajaibman: Aug 24 2023, 02:30 PM

So the one coming in malaysia is advance version.
it has:
-8 inch tft
-quick shifter
-keyless
-ride by wire
-cruise control

I was mistaken saying 'baik beli z900' before since this is gsx-8s and ktm killer
Hope can test ride it someday

pipu still will baik beli z900 ... cos of price...

cfmoto will take time to improve.

mode-saki price is tough to beat now n forever... mebe..

Never went to kl bike show. Worth the RM20 ticket?

no idea I also never go
but maybe not bad la if you like motorcycles and want cuci mata

I see, maybe will go if got free time haha.

Walao 8" dash damn crazy. Tengok YouTube ke

Hope it can integrate maps from our phone to display on the tft, that would be really good feature.. no more phone holder eyesore

Yes it can. Via apple car play or secondary app for android. No android auto though.


Sat on the bike today at KLBS today. Very impressive. A budget cut price duke 790 with full options. Speed shifter, cruise control etc..... Low seat height...riding ergo not too aggressive, quite upright.... But seat really tak boleh guna lah... Damn hard. Rear pillion seat completely useless....

This post has been edited by jaycee1: Aug 25 2023, 04:31 PM

i hope that i can go KLBS also.
what is the entrance ticket price ?
the event is until when ? this coming sunday ?

This post has been edited by Vincent6596: Aug 25 2023, 04:50 PM

31 including tax. Actually it's not really worth the time and money unless you have a good reason to go there.

does the event got any test ride section for any bike ?
if didn't have any test ride section then no need go liao, since i am stay at penang

The service schedule is similar to KTM 790

The KTM 790 Duke has 9300 mile / 15000 km or annual service intervals. At every service, change the oil and filter, and do a host of checks. KTM recommends you check and adjust the valve clearances of the 790 engine every 18600 miles or 30000 km. At the same time, change the spark plugs.

This was confirmed by the MT800 owners

Link here

450nk global launch.. at ph

ngl, one of the good looking bike out there, am tempted.

Same engines as 450 SR... hmmm... macam best...

dare to go test?

bike not reg, so round kedai oni...

I want long test ride...

So I went to cfmoto flagship store in setapak today and asked about 800NK availability and test ride event.
Salesman said next month after malaysia motoGP, 12th nov.

Dont even have display unit at the shop sadly.. but I guess 1 month isnt that long

Went there this morning. What a joke. All the bikes not arrive yet. Wasted a morning.

Hahahaha.

Events like these supposed to build confidence in china bikes. But fuck up big time. GS cycle guys also sembang there. No people skill at all.

At least engage the potential buyer lah. Take down contact, make alternate arrangement when bike comes in. Or just talk about the bikes and attend to what questions the buyer have. Nothing. Asked when the NK800 coming in also don't know. Just sit there play phone.

I'm seriously thinking of getting the nk800...but if this is how things are run, better just get the z900.....and certainly not from GS cycle.

At least the buyer experience is better at Kawa@shah l
Alam. I just drop by, straight got SA come greet me, then ask which bikes I want to test ride. All set up ready to go.

This post has been edited by jaycee1: Nov 1 2023, 05:50 PM

Kawa@shah can test ride anytime? or gotta wait for them to announce test ride event. are they only a showroom or can do servicing there also after purchasing from them

oh damn.. I was planning to visit gs cycle to see the 800NK
google reviews have been saying some terrible service but since you said the same also.. I think I'll just wait another store to do it

Yes any time if the test bikes are available. They might be sent out for events. I went there twice. Once for the z900 and once for the versys 650.

I think they will offer a test ride if the SA thinks you are serious enough and capable of handling a big bike. I didn't have to ask.

They are full service.

Seems the Setapak branch gave me better CS.

See lah, test the bike, then buy from Tenaga or Eang Chun.

But the test route is just around the shop lots. So unless you really serious to test the bike..don't waste your time.

ipoh got 800nk....

let's all ride ride TT at ipoh then test ride cfmoto

Went back to test the NK800 again. The test bike available is the basic model. We will only get the advance model here. But otherwise same bike. Test route was short, filled with speedbumps. Cant do a longer route so can't test higher speed vibration or handling. So thought on it will be limited.

Power : very very sharp punchy mid range. Tried on sport a rain mode (didnt try on street mode). In sport mode, power comes on strong from 5k up. The engine is very light and rev happy. Basically if you have ridden the duke790, it is similar. Hit 80 on a short stretch between speedbumps before realizing the meter was set to mph. To be honest, the power delivery is more than enough for street use...or outright scary in sport mode if you are not used to it. Exhaust sounds damn shiok. Good bark with pops on decel. How they got this exhaust to pass euro5 is beyond me. You won't need an aftermarket end can for this.

Seating and ergo
On paper it lists seat hight at 795mm but in reality it feels more. Possible 820mm. Riding ergos are fairly comfortable as you sit fairly upright and the rear sets are below your butt, and not in a too sporty position. Feels more spacious than the z900. The nk800s riding position is between the duke790 and the 790 adventure. Which means you can still stand up on the pegs. The seat felt a bit hard. Maybe questionable comfort if used for.long distance. Pillion seat is very very hard. The clutch is a bit heavier than expected...not sure if it has a slip and assist clutch.

Handling. Low speed is a a bit ponderous but balanced. No opportunity to test at higher speeds.

General fit and finish. The plastics felt cheap. One wing mirror is broken maybe, cant adjust it low enough, only see sky. Under seat storage is zero.

Didnt try cruise control. Didn't get up to speed.
No quick shifter installed on base model, but the shifting feel is light and positive. Able to do clutchless up down without too much issues even without the Q/S.

Brakes. Strong, but could use a bit more sharpness. Rear brakes are surprisingly good.

My main issues.
Bike does not have traction control. Especially on a throttle this sharp and power delivery this immediate. This is one bike you will probably need to use rain mode when it rains.

Bike has a high mounted exhaust. So pannier fitments will be an issue. Very limited aftermarket availability of accessories yet.

Verdict.
You won't find this power and gadgets for 39k. All accessories come standard. (Q/S, steering damper, big ipad screen with phone integration/cruise control)

Waiting for another test ride with open highways to test cruising speed vibrations before deciding...but like I said, it's either this or the z900.

In comparison, the z900 has a more linear powerband, sportier ergo. and longer legs for those that want to speed 200+ on the highways. Plus, it has all the accessories already available in the market.

Also did a test ride on the Papio XO1. Very cute bike. I got more stares on it than I did on the nk800.

Ergos are aggressive, feels like a low handlebar cafe racer...or even a replica racer looking through the front windshield. Very nimble..maybe too much, not used to small 12" wheels. Brakes are very good. Not much can be said about the power... It's more show than go. If they put on 14" scooter wheels maybe a winner.

Jom. I will be in Ipoh that weekend. Riding back 18th Saturday morning. Feel free to join. Leaving KL 6.30am. solo.

im surprised they have basic model for the test ride considering we only get the advanced model

i have high hopes for this bike since the 800mt got a lot of praises
really like the aesthetics of the bike

I think MForce brought both bikes for test evaluation, and then figured out a pricing problem. So now the basic model become test ride bike lor. It's not even a registered bike, hence the trade plates.

If they launched the basic model, all their 700s and 650s tak laku already....since all of them are priced so similarly. And they can't make enough headroom to price the advanced model higher because of the z900 and other bikes in the 45k-50 range from the japanese.

Having ridden the 650 and 700s, this 800 is a whole different beast

But knowing MForce, sure after a few months price go up. Can expect an average 2-3k increase after the first few months. Happened to the 650GT/MT and the 700CLX. Oddly enough the 800MT price didn't change.

I'm honestly torn between the Z900 and 800NK. I've been riding my Z250 for awhile. In terms of looks, the 800NK looks much better than the Z900. But the screaming inline 4 sound is very tempting. Which would you get out of the two? p/s: Hoping for B2 to B to be finalized as confirmed coming December. If not will have to take the B full course

It's currently up in the air for me as well. It's either the z900 or the nk800.

I like the power delivery of the NK...it's a very fun and punchy bike. But the z900 seems the easier (and maybe) safer and more relaxing to ride, having a more linear power delivery and traction control. As for longer term reliability, I'm leaning towards the Z as there are many proven older bikes and the wealth of accessories for it already in the market. KTM hasn't been well known for reliability.....they make engines for a good time, not for a long time..... as is the big question mark of MForce long term support on the bike.

The nk however has a more relaxed riding position than the z.

As for value , nothing comes close to the NK800. Given the inclusion of cruise control, quick shifter, steering damper and that big connected ipad screen...really curious why they saw fit to exclude traction control...which is it's only Achilles heel.

Having ridden both recently, I still can't decide between the two maybe give it a few months cooling off period then decide again next year after the NK has had some time to sort out it's production run.

I went to this store earlier today for the test ride.
Tested 800NK and Papio, along with a brixton 1200 cromwell

800NK for test ride is china basic spec. so it has normal handlebar, no quickshifter, normal tft, etc.
-test ride at the road behind the shop but it is spacious enough for you to do u-turn, 8 circle maneuver
-no highway test since bike not registered
-really fun bike, I think I understand now why some people like ktm
-ergonomics is comfortable, not sporty, its a true naked. seat height is 820mm, if you look at internet it will say 795mm but it sure feels like 820-830mm.. similar feeling with my suzuki 750
-handling is good, easily flickable on the road
-switchgear feels nice and tactile, no feel of china made bike at all. same with fit and finish.
-this bike has one push start like suzuki
-suspension is decent, went through speed bumps and you dont feel like your bums getting slapped
-expected from a ktm engine, torque is in your hands.. just pull the throttle
-no noticeable vibration at 5-6k rpm
-stock exhaust sounds great, parallel twin with 285 degree crank shaft sounds amazing. you dont really need to change the muffler but of course you can..

some cons that I can think of is since this bike is really really new so finding accessories like radiator guard, frame slider might take time.
another one is the brake, front brake really takes a while to bite. I'd like for it stop more quickly
really contemplating to trade in my bike for this, i might be a 2 cylinder head

salesman said that this bike price will increase in 2024 to become 40k+..

as for Papio:
-125cc mini-sport bike
-im surprised by the quality of it, despite its small appearance everything feels good. throttle, clutch, gearbox dont feel clunky at all
-i can see this bike used as a sportbike training like body positioning

1200 cromwell din test?

i did test it.. but felt underwhelming compared to triumph since this is supposed to compete with the bonneville t120
you can say its a bonneville on a budget.
it does feel heavier and harder to maneuver compared to bonneville but on its own, cromwell is an okay-ish bike
the engine vibration is like harley davidson, start it and handlebar gonna shake left and right

oooohhh...might go for the 2 in the middle to try out the 800mt... love the fact that theyre having it on weekdays

on 8th of dec will go sungai dua to test ride 800NK and 800MT as well

good good!
remember to post report here. tq.

just got reply from the shop show as below
very sad to day that 800NK and 800MT is not available for test ride event

but on that day i will go there also to try my luck there to see can get to test ride on both bike or not

Attached thumbnail(s)

800nk i think oni one test ride demo bike ler...

haha i think the same too.. one bike bring over to each shop for testing

not to say 800nk is not available, after asking with the shop staff said that 800MT also not available also

...yeah..there is only 1 NK800 test bike. And that one isn't even the model we are getting ....

Seems a lot of people complaining about the connected app on play store. Navigation seems not to work very well...that's a huge issue if can't use navigation on that big screen. Also no Waze or Google maps integration (maybe due to Chinese ban on Google services). Pity

where do you see this? I look at their official fb group and look kinda dead
thats awful if navigation doesnt work since theres no place to put phone holder also

I went up to Google play store to check out the App comments.

Apparently the App has difficulty in staying connected to the dash. I think it might be due to the phones power management that disconnects it when the phone screen goes off and despite people setting it to always run in background, it still disconnects. Also there is no support for Waze and Google maps...just native nav app from cfmoto app...which is probably rubbish. Otherwise all other features seem to get a thumbs up for users. The commenters didnt specifically mention the nk800 though. But maybe for other CFmoto bikes with connected feature like the 800MT.

Apparently the new 1250TR doesn't get Waze and Google maps either... Well because China.

Just to update. There is a 3k rebate on the 800nk for CNY (GS cycle, apparently Ee tiong also giving 2k rebate). So much for MForce thinking of increasing the price. I think tough given that the Suzuki 8s with the 10k rebate until end of this month will also get u a bike for 42k OTR.

In comparison, the 8s feels like a better built bike. Equally strong midrange but the 800nk tends to continue to pull harder to redline. The 8s power levels off after 8k. 800k riding potion is more upright with taller handlebar and lower seat.

There is a bit more vibration on the 8S though.

Both bikes share the same problem. Lack of accessories, but it seems you going to be able to find accessories for the CFMoto sooner than the 8S...because, well... China.

Curiously, a usb charger is not included on the 800nk. Dealer say need to buy ownself (about 90 from shopee, 450SR use same charger)...but installation is plug and play... Not sure if it's a mistake on the dealer. On the production bike, wiring is there but covered with a blanking plate. So far no 800nk owners can confirm if Thier bike comes with a USB charger.

just type '800nk' at shopee search bar can already give you the necessary stuff like radiator guard, frame slider, tank pad, usb socket

I think thats good enough

Just no panniers, racks and windshield.

Replacement parts also not yet out. Bike still new.

Actually, as with all Chinese bikes there are plenty of accessories on Aliexpress/Taobao if you can navigate them.

Not even there yet. Only 1 very horrible rack at AliExpress. Nothing really at taobao either.

Smaller accessories are available though. Perhaps the bike is still too new.

However if you do find any pannier racks and windshields for the 800NK, do let me know. Thanks.

This post has been edited by jaycee1: Jan 23 2024, 11:34 PM

I saw quite a few already, actually:



The trick is to use the Taobao app on mobile, and use local forwarder and set your address to that forwarder instead, because a lot of items will be hidden if you set a foreign address/view on desktop.

Cool thanks. That certainly helps.

Unfortunately that windshield won't for for our advanced model since it uses different handlebars. I'm sure the correct ones will come along in time.

I see. Btw, ditching your Dominar already ?

Sounds like you are looking for a reliable workhorse, you sure CFMOTO can cut it?

That's always the worry. KTM is in for a good time not a long time. Coupled with MForce, it's sure going to be an even bigger issue.

Keeping the dominar though. Which is an Indian built KTM. Been reliable past 65k km...no issues other than wear and tear items. Perhaps lucky, or these bikes are meant to be used hard. . Hope twice the charm.

Still entertaining the idea of the CF 650GT. Cheap...tried and tested platform. Comfy, low seat height, panniers and windshield...albeit slow and boring.

Can't have everything......

tambah sikit find second hand mt09

Why buy a used mt09 when you can buy a new Suzuki 8S? Hehe.

easier to find accessories, 8s also still new like 800nk

There's a 13 years scrapping policy for motorcycle in China though, so there's always a running joke that their bikes aren't built to last.

cp3.... cp3 is kelakar... tho i hear the 8s is also a really good bike

i am 800nk owner, if you uses an iphone, good because u get full fledged apple car play...if u want to use the other cfmoto map, usable, just need to turn on your hotspot to give wifi to the bike (bluetooth can not).

original bike no usb, likely because of pricing and not every one need the usb, can buy one RM90 plug and play...accessories there are alot, so far i can find all the things i want on taobao. rear fork lift, higher seat stuff...all parts are noticeably cheaper too. (maybe only the windscreen i havent seen a good one yet)

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, still lacking a nice looking windshield. So far only found a slightly taller fly screen and a generic fit one that mounts on the rear mirror mounting points.

...and only one very ghetto looking rear rack ...
