CFMoto 450MT: the adventure bike, engine and what to know when buying
CFMoto 450MT — from 2024, the mid-size adventure bike with around 450 cm³ twin-cylinder engine. We look at who it's for, what kit it has and what to check when buying.
450MT in brief
This is the lighter, more accessible CFMoto adventure bike, suited to both daily commuting and journeys on tarmac and light gravel. It offers a high seating position, wind protection and a long-travel suspension.
With its mid-range power, the model will suit riders with an A2 licence (check the specific motorcycle's documents).
Versions
The model is new, so the choice of versions is currently limited. They mainly differ in trim, colours and optional extras such as panniers, protection and a screen.
As the kit can change depending on the market and year, when buying check the specific motorcycle's specification.
Engine and gearbox
The bike is powered by around a 450 cm³ liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine, with mid-range power that's adequate both in the city and on the motorway. The gearbox is a six-speed manual.
There's ABS, multiple riding modes and a modern instrument cluster. Exact power and torque figures vary by year, so refer to the manufacturer's information.
What to check when buying a 450MT
As the motorcycle is new, the main thing is the warranty and service history. Check that all scheduled services have been carried out and that the documents transfer to the new owner.
Test the electronics, screen, and ABS operation, check for any error messages. Inspect the suspension, wheels, and brakes.
If the motorcycle has been ridden off-road, check the frame, guards, and spokes for impacts or deformations.
