CFMOTO 800MT Touring 2023

CFMOTO 800MT Touring 2023

The CFMOTO 800MT Touring is a relaxed, road-oriented touring enduro with a sensational amount of equipment for its price class. In riding mode, it scores points with the lively 790cc two-cylinder from the KTM 790 models and a fully adjustable chassis. On tour, you'll be pleased with the standard heated seats, heated grips, cruise control and quickshifter. It comes pretty close to the established players in the touring enduro sector, but has a few idiosyncrasies here and there, such as the cruise control that can only maintain speed up to 120 km/h. Apart from that, however, it's a good bike. Apart from that, however, it's a good bike with a top price-performance ratio.

Very much equipment for the price class (main stand, cruise control, heated grips, heated seats, connectivity, TFT display, quickshifter, riding modes, crash bars, etc.)

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.
