No way, a bike review on Fortnine
3:42 thanks for testing our crash bars 😅
3:09 That Trump voice was way too on point
Fortnine has done an amazing job finding people that can carry their legacy of high production value and solid information.
That intentional drop looked so smooth. Well done.
Thanks to CFMOTO for making other manufacturers get off their a** and offer somewhat capable 450 or 500cc ADV bikes.
The trump accent lmao
this is one of the few rare cases when a channel changes the host but stays as entertaining as it was! i love both you and Ryan man!
You bastard! I was on the fence about this one and now I want it!
The original BMW R 80 G/S, the bike that established the GS legend for BMW, and created the adventure bike segment, had 50hp, and weighed 186kg. This Ibex has 44hp and weighs 175kg. Which is, as mentioned in the video, the obvious (correct) spec for an adventure bike. How we got to the point where we think an adventure bike needs 150hp, and weigh 250kg, is beyond me.
I want a same test for the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (new Himalayan).
23 seconds. That's how long youtube was keeping this from me.
Cf moto has been grabbing up market share here in Greece pretty swiftly
Eyebrows finally got his long form content and didn't disappoint. Hell yeah.
Now THOSE are bold new graphics, Suzuki
Im going to use your parking technique, fu side stand
That dismount on the gravel road was slick 😂
The weirdest thing I've experienced with owning my Ibex is that it's faster to get OEM parts on AliExpress than the dealership. I don't mind cutting the dealer out as mine is an arse
The 450MT is my first motorbike ever (I'm 54 years of age) and I am pretty sure I made the best choice for me (and I'm in Germany where everyone and their dog rides a BMW GS with attached conservatory, own postcode and distinct gravity field). Tried a Himmy, it felt too heavy. Tried a KTM 690, that tried to kill me. Skipped the CRF300 because it was too expensive in comparison. Rode the 450MT, loved it, price is perfectly acceptable and now I'm slowly turning her into a real adventure bike. BTW the raised seat really is transformative, buy it!
I went with the 2-bike solution for my adventuring needs. I have a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro for those adventures featuring long highway stints and light off-roading. I have a little KLX 250 for more dedicated trail riding with brief on road excursions. My brother went the 1-bike route, and bought an Ibex 450. It’s really a very nice motorcycle. Physically, it’s about the same size as my Tiger 900 Rally Pro, with very similar ergos. The main tradeoff is he’s giving up an additional 65 hp for 70 lbs less weight. He can still cruise comfortably at 75 mph on the highway, which is great, but he’s still on a bike that weighs 130 lbs more than my KLX, which is not so great off road. 500 lbs, or 430 lbs, either way that’s a load to manhandle in the dirt. I know from experience that you lose interest pretty quickly in repeatedly picking up bikes that heavy. Regardless, CFMoto has got a real hit of a motorcycle on their hands. What they are doing to motorcycling to day is very similar to what Honda did back in the late ‘60s and ‘70s.
