CFMoto has been unveiling new motorcycles over the last few months, and the one that really caught the community’s attention was the company’s new in-line triple engine. Now, the company has unveiled its first motorcycle that’s powered by the triple-cylinder engine, the CFMoto NK675. The motorcycle was unveiled at EICMA.
CFMoto NK675 — What is it?
The CFMoto NK675 is a street naked, built around the company’s new three-cylinder engine that was showcased at EICMA last year. The engine makes 88bhp and 68Nm of torque, mated to a six-speed gearbox. According to CFMoto, the engine is capable enough to propel the NK675 from 0 to 100kmph in 4 seconds, while the company has not revealed the top speed of the motorcycle.

That said, the motorcycle itself features an aggressive design with a low-slung headlight, a flat handlebar giving the rider a forward-leaning position, and a muscular tank with aggressive shrouds. The CFMoto NK675 gets adjustable USD forks and a monoshock at the rear from KYB, 17-inch wheels, a TFT instrument console, dual-channel ABS, a uni-directional quickshifter (up only), traction control, and more.
CFMoto NK675 — Competition
The CFMoto NK675 is the newest middle-weight street naked and takes on the Triumph Street Triple with its engine setup. The Street Triple makes 118bhp and in the RS form, it makes 128bhp. Other competitors in the segment include the Aprilia Tuono 660, which makes 94bhp, and the Honda CBR650, and even the Kawasaki Z650.
CFMoto was present in India and owing to low sales and stringent emission norms, the company discontinued sales. The chances of CFMoto returning to India are unlikely at the moment and the NK675 will be sold in the global markets only at the moment.
