CFMOTO 800MT-X 2025

CFMOTO 800MT-X 2025

The CFMOTO 800 MT-X surprises with a cultivated engine, a lot of control in the suspension and handling that seems far lighter than the data would suggest thanks to its low centre of gravity. In practice, it rides in a balanced, confidence-inspiring manner and offers a lot of features for the money. Minor weaknesses in the electronic logic, the operating quality and the lack of torque in the centre remain, but do little to change the strong overall impression. All in all, it is an honest, versatile adventure bike that does not quite reach premium level, but is a real and serious alternative in terms of price and riding experience.

Excellent value for money

Fully adjustable suspension

Cultivated LC8c twin cylinder with strong lower and upper rev range

Surprisingly agile handling thanks to low tank and centre of gravity

Modern features as standard, where you have to pay extra for premium brands: Quickshifter, tyre pressure sensors, Motion Alert, Find My function

Noticeable rev gap between 5000-7000 rpm

switch quality and feel below premium level

cruise control cannot be deactivated by throttle reversal

navigation integration via the app cumbersome

Yamaha Tenere 700 2021

Yamaha Tenere 700 2021

The Tenere 700 is still unrivalled in 2022. It offers the best compromise between price, off-road capability and ride comfort on the road. It rides into the heart, is super fun and is a motorbike for a wide range of uses. Die-hard fans will forgive the lack of electronic features. The somewhat lax brakes and the annoying fuel cap probably won't.

Very robust and reliable appearance

sporty and sleek look

playful handling

Amazingly sporty and fun engine

Good workmanship

Good chassis with a practical adjustment range

Comparatively low weight

Very tough

ABS can be switched off

Very off-road capable.

Lack of seating comfort on longer tours

brakes seem a bit cheap - lax pressure point and poor braking performance

vibrating display is annoying

fuel filler cap impractical

very short equipment list in terms of electronics.
