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!
