✨ It’s time for a little upgrade…
Last Thursday I switched to CFMOTO 450MT, and on Monday I managed to get the red numbers (thanks Profi Moto Shop). Obviously I left with it right away:)), I just couldn’t leave it in the yard, we had to run it in!
The first lap, straight 170 km, but honestly, when I got home, I didn’t feel like pulling over at all. I would have done another lap around the house, but it was already pretty late.
I really like the sound of the engine, it’s like a mini-volcano waiting to erupt:)). I would pass through villages and the kids would wave to me to rev it… you would immediately hear them say: “woow”.
The position is just right, comfortable. I find it super easy to control, even though it weighs almost 200 kg when fully loaded.
The (stock) suspensions are perfect for all our roads:)). As for improvements, I would go with a set of handlebar risers, I feel like it would work better.
The saddle is surprisingly good — I didn’t have any butt pain after this short ride:)).
I drove about 1 km on a forest road and I liked how it behaved. It needs some minor adjustments, but we’ll do them after we finish running it in, so it’s even smoother.
I can’t say much about fuel consumption yet… for this ride I had 4.3%, it seems ok-ish for a 450 inline, with two cylinders.
👉 I’ll come back with impressions after a more serious tour – maybe even with a video, if I don’t get lost in the scenery 😅
On Sunday (July 20, 2025) I want to take a longer trip, more precisely on the route:
Sibiu – Jina – Transalpina – Petroșani – Hațeg – Deva – Șoimuș – Simeria – Geoagiu – Almașu Mare – Alba Iulia – Păuca – Alamor – Loamneș – Șura Mare
