Of cos u nid to test ride first to c got any diff frm your ex xj6

38k for a 500cc inline-4 bike.
its competition is qjmotor 600cc bikes (extra 100cc and brembo brakes)
at that price also can get used z900 and gsx s750
but cfmoto is the only bike with less than 200 kg curb weight.

people might buy it for the look because I do think it is the prettiest compared to others

price to compete against zx25r but specs comparable to zx4rr

if you want to know cfmoto pricing in Malaysia usually just take the China price and change the currency in front to MYR. not that far off

Actually it depends on the model, the 450SR for example is 33K yuan in China... but in Malaysia it's RM28K...

This 500sr is not well received within China, as it doesn't really have the performance of a 4 cylinder. I'm interested to see how much they'll sell the 675sr here, that one seems a lot more capable based on reviews so far.

For me, the QJ600's weight is a bit too much and also the height as well. This could be ideal for me. I won't be looking at used or naked bikes though. I do understand that it is not an out-and-out sport bike. More like a sport tourer and a little closer in spirit to my ex FZ6R (XJ6F here in Malaysia).

ngl the look reminds me a lot of suzuki SRAD, cfmoto really nailed it on the design
spec wise is a bit underpowered, but that fits the neo-retro fans.

Tis voge 4 dapur,
Dono mforce wana bring in ornot ....
Cos no competitor...

I cant get over the look of the bulbous rear end and bucktooth front headlight. They should have made the rear more slim and integrated the headlights into the air intakes and DRLs.

Anyway. 49nm at 10,000rpm isn't going to pull your arms off. Any of the similarly priced twin 800 cc bikes or older 750 fours would seriously gap it.

Probably can be considered if you are willing to wait for major rebates and discounts to come.

I don't think they are targeting performance conscious people with this bike, even 800nk just need to add a bit to get almost double the torque with additional 20hp

For a 500sr to have double the power of zx25r at the same price point might be enough to hook people to buy it..

from the front bike looks like this

I agree. I am one of their target market. I'm not into getting the highest specs on paper but as long as it can be a good replacement for my old FZ6 will be good enough already. Besides, I am not one who would take a bike to 10/10 of its abilities (because clearly, I'm not that level of rider), so, as long as it isn't slower than any new 35k bike out there, I'm alright already. For the same price, I doubt there are any new bikes that are close to it in performance anyway...hmmm, maybe the QJ600rr, but that's heavy and taller than comfortable for my short legs

Looks like this to me

Attached thumbnail(s)

Mforce will reveal it at sepang motogp??

675rr test ride. It is more suitable for track but can still be used for commuting.

Well my 800NK was only 36k with change (35,888). So........

20hp more, nearly double the torque at 4000rpm less.

Good lor...now if they had a fairing on that, it will make that bike way more interesting to me For me, looks come first, then the specs and handling

It's actually quite often mentioned in the Chinese forums that the designs of CFMOTO bikes are outsourced to Italian designers... Whether they are any good, as in all cases is subjective lol.

I wonder why there's water in there...

The recent cfmoto were in house designs from CFMOTO's European design arm.. The designer was Carles Solsona. Previously worked for MV Agusta and Ducati. Reason to believe he knows how to make a good looking bike.



The original design concept that led to the 800NK.

Always thought the 800nk had a hint of MV Agusta DNA. As it turns out......
