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.

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.

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

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).

Yup, that was the main complaint. The brake was not responsive at all until at least half of it is applied, although the stopping power is good enough from there onwards.

I think those stuff came straight out of the factory probably, there was scandal that this bike gets tank slap easily in China when this bike just launched, and it basically forced CFMOTO to make it a standard, plus it was competing Zontes' 703 which is also a very competitive product.

Someone did the test in China and reported around 3.6l/100km being at constant 90km/h for 100km.

With that in mind you're probably looking at around 4l/100km or 25km/l with our weather and riding style.

Strange that people haven’t been looking into the Suzuki SV650 more, especially with that tempting RM30K price.

At that price point, it pretty much kills off all the competition in the 30–40K range, for the value and performance you’re getting. Sure, it’s a dated bike, but that just means it’s going to be bulletproof. Plus, it has a decent retro look too.

I have just seen very little coverage and discussions about this bike following the recent price cut.

Nothing in this forum nor the Facebook groups I am following, nothing recent on YouTube as well.

Quite a lot of interest in the CFMOTO 675 series, in fact I have a very young colleague indicating interest to buy the 675NK soon.

Then I think we have a fellow member who bought the MT07 v2 the other day?

Maybe I am just not in the right circle.

Maybe, but I find it even difficult to spot one when I am out in a motorcycle parking.

I have however seen too many zx25r and z900, so clearly the cylinder count is the most attractive part of a bike

Still amazes me that we are able to buy the SV650 that is fully made in Japan for 30K.
