    2025 CF Moto 450MT

    Budget Adventure Bike

    When the Australian Adventure Bike Magazine Editor invited me to get involved with their previous CFMOTO 450MT project bike a year ago by installing a few accessories and then riding it 3,000km through the outback, curiosity got the better of me. And besides, who am I to say no to a week of premium adventure riding? To cut a long story short, that experience was enough for me to part company with my two T7s and purchase a 450MT – but don’t think for a minute that this is a perfect love story.

    The CF Moto 450MT hasn’t been without it’s issues so let’s look at what simple mods we did and we’ll talk about the bikes short comings later.

    2013 Yamaha WR250R Tenere

    Rally inspired Adventure Bike

    What has been one of our most ambitious projects we took the Yamaha WR250R and created a rally inspired adventure bike. At the time sub-500cc small bore adventure bikes almost didn’t exist and when Yamaha released the WR250R with it’s long service intervals this project was a no brainer.

    After designing the original concept and publishing it in Trail Zone Magazine we got a call from Safari Tanks and the rest is history.

    Our WR250 has since featured in Yamaha promotions, bike shows and is one bike that is destined to forever be a part of the Off Road Explorer fleet.

    The 2007 KLR650 won’t get you there in a hurry but rest assured it will get you there.

    It’s not a performance package by any stretch of the imagination but it chugs along until your destination finally appears on the horizon. So you may as well just get comfortable and let it do all the work.
