CFMoto 550CL-C Cruiser (Read 19 times)

ThumperPaul Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 2281 Houston, Texas Gender:	CFMoto 550CL-C Cruiser Yesterday at 06:58:19 I’m not sure I’d label it a cruiser, but it’s pretty cool. Looks more like a standard or cafe to me. It’s not available yet, but it’s a pretty slick entrant into the popular “500cc class”. What do guys think? https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/?fbclid=IwVERDUAQ0uuFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRj...

It looks very bulky with lots of plastic and crap mudguards. The wheels also look like nuts. That said I expect it will be very reliable and efficient, it's Chinese after all !

I see Belt Drive and Tubeless Wheels , It looks like the Honda 500 (472cc) Chain Drive is in big trouble ! I personally have a problem with the big Radiator ... but the Honda has one too ... Honda also is going to have a BIGGER PRICE Too !

I think Kawasaki has one too ? But CF Moto is price Smart ! Wink

Its great to see medium size BIKES making a return !

Seems to me that 50 HP on 450 pounds (or less) of bike is a Double "SWEET SPOT" !!

I filled my Interceptor up with fuel today and it averaged 66.4mpg ... it has done up to 74mpg ... but I've got some new mufflers that needed to be heard a few times. Roll Eyes

My vote is : I think the CFMoto is a Cruiser !

I see and feel the Holy Spirit in the world , as does anybody who has eyes to see.

I expect the price point will be significantly lower than the Hondas and Kawasakis in this size/displacement class. Yamaha and Suzuki don’t really seem to want to play in this class. I’m interested to see how it price compares to the Royal Enfield 650 models. That’s probably their real competition here.

Made in China really doesn’t bother me like it does some people. CFMoto has built a solid reputation and its partnership with KTM helps suggest they are worthy. Reliability rating for CFMoto are pretty good.

When it becomes available, I want to check it out in person.
