Is the CFMoto 650MT good for beginners?

The CFMoto 650MT makes 61 hp (45 kW) @ 9000 rpm, so it is more bike than most riders want as a first motorcycle. It can be a great second bike once you have experience, and some markets sell a restricted version.

Is the CFMoto 650MT good for shorter riders?

The CFMoto 650MT has a tall 840mm seat, which can be a stretch for shorter riders. Look for a factory low seat, lowering links, or a low-suspension variant.

Yes, for range. The 18L tank gives a useful distance between fuel stops, which suits longer days. Real touring comfort also depends on the screen, seat and wind protection.
