I SOLD MY HONDA CRF250L… and bought a 2026 CFMOTO Ibex 450! 🏍️
In this video, I say goodbye to my Honda CRF250L and take delivery of the brand-new 2026 CFMOTO Ibex 450. After getting a chance to check out the bike up close, I take it out for a proper test ride to see what it’s really like on the road.

I’ll give you my first impressions and review of the Ibex 450, including how it feels to ride, the engine, comfort, handling, and overall experience. The video also features multiple camera angles and drone footage to give you a better look at the bike from every perspective.

If you’re considering the CFMOTO Ibex 450 or just curious about what this adventure bike is like to ride, hopefully this video helps you out!

Well as some one who is at a moment waiting to do my A Licence test in Europe.
I have watched many Videos about diferent Bikes. And actualy decided on 450MT/IBEX is one i will buy for my self.
I deliver Packets for Post Office in my Country and only Bikes that rely stand out to my as a Small, Mid and Large Van Driver are ADV Bikes. I am Going from Cheeper option with decent Engen one of the main reasons for CFMOTO choice is that they have a shope 30 min away from me. Others are 1 and up to 2 Hours away.
Did think about Legend CUB125 but Heat and Trafick plus Border i have to cross as well.
All that realy put me towards 450CFMT

I like the way you took that fall. Looked like you had proper gear on? It is no guarantee but improves your odds. Liked the way you filmed and edited the video. Look forward to seeing your adventures.

I chose the himalayan 450.... I love it. Fuzzy biker just hit 95000 miles on his with no issues.... one reason I chose the himalayan over the CF is because at Highway speeds like 70 mph the himalayan turns over 1000 less rpms...

Wear protection. It’s cheap and easy. Skin and bone is priceless

bro what about the mileage per liter

@Unmethicated 2 weeks ago (edited)

As someone who has been riding his whole life, am in all the communities and has and loves the 450mt/ibex.
These types of bikes are NOT good for beginners.
Relatively heavy, mid on road if no experience
Mid off road if no experience.

Also take off the lower crash bars, the mounting points are poorly located and not so hard enough hits can bend them to hit the hoses on the right side and have left side hits the engine casing.
Quite a lot of cases on those that take these out on harder tracks.

I’m up to 20k km in 9 months. Love the thing, but probably going to be getting a Kove 800 or ktm690rally as I’m doing a lot more harder tracks than I thought I’d be doing and it does chug on the steeper tracks.
