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.

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 laugh.gif

Was following the fiasco of the 3 cylinders engine in China recently, basically there was a flame war between Zontes' CEO and CFMoto because CFMoto paid an influencer to do dyno runs with a specially tuned 675SR, which led to unrealistic HP that outperformed the Zontes, but actually the Zontes' has a faster engine, at least for those being sold to the market. Then came the scandals about the Chinese made dyno machine being wildly inaccurate and unreliable, and it didn't help that CFMoto marketed the 675SR as 'no parallel under 1L bikes', which is of course not true.

Another interesting thing I learned is that the J.Juan brake used for the 800NK (also being used for the 703 and 675) is the best brake system China manufacturers can buy at the moment (the others not sold to them), and it is actually pretty shit based on the reviews, so in China the insiders know regardless of how powerful the engines get, they cannot solve the 'brake problem' yet. What do you think about the brakes jaycee

in my previous short test ride on the 800nk it does feel a bit inadequate but still fairly usable.
imo, its okay for normal rider but could be better. how 450sr can get brembo but not 675sr and 800nk laugh.gif

Now that you mention it, I don't understand as well, but basically that's what the CEO of Zontes mentioned, that the J. Juan brakes at the moment is the best available to them, not sure best in term of value or what... but that's also clearly the case because most of the bikes around that cc level are using the same brake system.

Also the 450SR Brembo has downgraded FF brake pads, which is apparently not same as the sample bike they gave to reviewers.

But back to topic, the 675SR turned out to be a disappointment after all the hype. The early reviews were sample bikes specially tuned and the mass produced one s**k ass, for this price, the 800K is a much better bike, all thanks to KTM for the engine (and pretty much the experience from manufacturing the Duke 790 helped).

thats a serious allegation.. guess need to wait some dyno run from the owners

whoever owns cfmoto 675sr, better start checking your engine oil level and also coolant, seems like a major defect now, lost in performance from what is describe from Dizimini

*
oh wow that pretty huge if you are losing oil excessively in your bike.
props to cfmoto for addressing it quickly though.
i think its not even 3 months for malaysian owners with their bike, so hopefully cfmoto malaysia knows about this.

tbh if you are getting 200km on a 15L tank from a sporty naked bike, you probably have no business of riding that bike

what are you being so reserved on your speed just to save some fuel for laugh.gif

170~ km range on a full tank if you are cruising around 130-140 km/h is decent enough

well i can go 250kms on my 800NK's 15L on cruise. Reason i do 130 and not 180 is given in the post above. Hahaha. Who are you to say I'm not riding my bike properly? Hahahahahahahahaha

hahaha aiming for fc on some occasion then no problem la

people also need to realise fc mainly dependent on how you ride the machine, and most modern bikes have similar fuel consumption anyways..

my bike is analog tacho
looking at modern TFT odometer feels like I'm missing out

nothing beats the physical feeling of analog tachometer..
sure having TFT screen with android auto/apple carplay is cool but you can easily get external unit for that.
analog tachometer is a lost art nowadays bye.gif
