CFMoto 800MT added to Cape York M/C Adventures fleet
Cape York Motorcycle Adventures have introduced CFMoto’s 800MT Touring model to their hire bike fleet, with 15 units to be used for multi-day off-road motorcycling adventures in Far North Queensland.
Established by Roy and Renae Kunda 33 years ago, Cape York Motorcycle Adventures has conducted countless two-wheel tours of the Cape, while Roy’s riding history in the region dates back to 1986.
Until now, the fleet has comprised mainly Suzuki DR650 and DRZ400 models, along with a few KTMs, so the upgrade to the 800MT Touring – 15 of them – represents a major investment.
With the adventure bike market packed with options, Roy says he chose the CFMoto 800MT Touring for the value for money it offers - $14,490 ride away.
“On first sight, I was really impressed with the look of the 800MT Touring; it’s a lot of bike for the money," Roy explained.
Powered by a KTM-sourced 799cc parallel-twin producing 70kW at 9000rpm and 77Nm at 7500rpm, the 800MT Touring’s standard specification includes a six-speed transmission with slipper clutch and up/down quickshifter, fully adjustable KYB suspension front and rear, heated seat and grips, J.Juan brakes with ABS, tyre pressure monitoring, two riding modes, a 19-litre fuel capacity, centre stand, adjustable windscreen and 7.0-inch TFT instrument display.
"My guides and I rode the fleet of 15 from the dealer, Northern Performance Motorcycles, to our workshop in Cairns and we were all surprised at how well balanced and comfortable they are on the road,” Roy added. “I can’t wait to put them through their paces up the Cape.”
To handle the rigours of off-road riding in Far North Queensland, the 800MT Touring also features handguards, an engine bashplate and steering damper as standard, while Cape York Motorcycle Adventures have added CFMoto accessory crash bars, a headlight guard and Ogio soft panniers.
"When Roy and Renae approached us about the 800MT joining their line-up, we were flattered as they are veterans in the motorcycle adventure space and don’t make decisions on a whim," said Michael Poynton, Director of CFMoto Australia.
"We're confident the 800MT Touring will be a hit with customers at Cape York Motorcycle Adventures."
