But I'd miss the lovely MT engine. Just pulls in any old gear where a big single would judder. Alrady have a buyer for my MT; may get a Him next year.

Thanks for the reply.
The Himmie engine gets a lot of positive comments - I’m keen to try both.
I’m sure you’ll get some decent time on one soon.

I had an opportunity to see firsthand the CFMoto 450MT when I brought my Xmax for it's first service.
I was impressed with the light weight of the bike and the price of USD$7,200 and comes with top box and panniers.
I do most of my long distance touring overseas on rental bikes and that's why I have a xmax 250 scooter at home now after selling the trusty Triumph Tiger 800.

Just saw this in the UK Bike mag (UK).
Not read it yet but the title probably says enough.

It's quite a funny article , the bike gets ridden into a wall , various ditches and dropped loads of times and still keeps going.......unlike the rider who throws the towl in .

We used to sell them before our company went belly up I'd buy one without hesitation. I'd need the hi seat mind and I'd change the front sprocket to drop the revs at cruising speed other then that there isn't much needs doing .

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
