In the second half of the video Dave explains his experience real time on the bike.
Finally, Andrew Clubb, Editor of Australian Adventure Bike Magazine AKA Clubby announces the bike will be a long term loaner that we will modify to our adventure specifications.
Disclaimer: CFMOTO has no control, nor influence on editorial content, nor decisions on which accessories we choose to fit to the bike. However, accessories will be provided free of charge from a range of companies. We don’t put something on the bike because it’s free, Clubby and I are chasing quality and relevance to the type of adventure riding we do.
