Ideal for a sporty short trip
If things go the way they did with their predecessor, BMW has a potential bestseller in its range with the F 900 R. Why not: The machine is quite cheap for BMW ratios and at the same time quite good.
You just have to know what you want. This bike is ideal for a sporty excursion without great travel ambitions. Whose wish this was always: Test drive please!
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
Conclusion - what sticks
The CF Moto 800 MT enriches the adventure bike segment with a motorcycle that is particularly interesting in terms of price. The equipment is great and CF Moto uses proven components from J. Juan, KTM, Acront and Kayaba. Not a bad recipe, but the Chinese are messing up when it comes to tuning the engine and QuickShifter. However, we assume that this shortcoming can be fixed by software update - and then the MT800 is a really attractive offer!Many thanks to the CF-MOTO dealer "Powersport Nord" from Pinneberg, who kindly provided us with the machine for this test. You can also test ride the 800 MT there, but please make an appointment beforehand - just call: Tel. 04101-590 575. Greetings to Jörg and Vivian!
