Considering a 2019 CFmoto 800 xc

[Jkoht]

I saw these at a dealer recently and they piqued my interest. I'm at the point of trading in, but nothing really excites me put there right now, especially with the prices! This bike seems like a heck of a good deal when you look at all the components on it and the base price of $8500. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this particular model that can offer any insight.

I have a 2016 that I bought new on a similar deal. I’ve had nothing but fun on it since and I traded my Can Am Outlander 800 XT for it. It’s really a sturdy bike with plenty of features. And if you look under it you can tell where they got the design. Haha it’s almost like the front half is a Polaris sportsman and the back half is an Outlander. It’s a great bike for half the dough and I got that “hey dude you get what you pay for” when I took the jump too, but you really don’t. Hahhaah. Cfmoto has been keeping them cheap in the states and taking most deals on trades cuz they wanna get em out on the trails. And I’ve been on more than a few 100+ mile trips now and it’s got great gas mileage and it’s been one of the only bikes in every group that doesn’t break down out there. (Know wood!!!!) but honestly. It’s really well made. And the locking diff is the shizzz. No complaints from me other than mine is from the year they have a foot brake for the rear and a hand brake for the front and it’s on the same side as the throttle. I’d rather thee be a hand brake on the opposite handle for front and rear like my can ams always were, but not a deal braker(See what i did there?). You get used to it. But I think they’ve fixed that in newer models. Not sure tho.

Glad to hear yours is working out well for you. They still have the hand brake on the throttle side which is opposite of my Cat so I'm sure it would take a little getting used to, but I'm guessing it's there so that you take your thumb off the throttle. To me it kinda seems like it would be a nice bike to have for a few years until I finally take the jump and get in the SXS arena.

Haha funny when I bought it I was thinking the same thing. And still do. And now I think I may actually keep it when the SXS comes. AND it may be a cfmoto SXS that I get when I get one. For all the same reasons I got this one. If actually seen a few on the trails and the guys riding them have the same general feeling about those that I do about the atv.
