CFMoto 250SR Full-Faired Sportbike Revealed

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CFMoto will be introducing a full-faired, quarter-litre sports bike, what is to be called the CFMoto 250SR. Leaked images of an almost production-ready 250SR now reveal what the final model will look like. The CFMoto 250SR is actually based on the firm's 250 cc naked bike, the CFMoto 250NK, and will be a full-faired version of the naked roadster. The leaked image is reportedly from a Chinese patent application, and the bike looks like it's almost ready to roll off CFMoto showrooms, so a launch seems imminent.

Like the CFMoto 250NK, the 250SR will also be powered by the same 249 cc, single-cylinder, four-valve, liquid-cooled engine which puts out 26.5 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 22 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. Unlike the 151 kg kerb weight of the 250NK, the full-faired 250SR is expected to be slightly heavier, and is likely to tip the scales with around 160-165 kg. Cycle parts are expected to be upside down front forks, Brembo brake calipers, and the 250SR is also expected to come equipped with a full-colour TFT instrument panel.

The design however, is quite international, and will take on the very best Japanese and European offerings in the same segment. That is partly due to the fact, that CFMoto is associated with Kiska Design, the same design house which is responsible for many KTM motorcycles in recent years. More details will only be available once the bike is officially unveiled by the company.

In India, CFMoto has started operations with four motorcycles, and has tied up with Bengaluru-based AMW motorcycles. The four models for India include the 300NK (Rs. 2.29 lakh), 650NK (Rs. 3.99 lakh), 650MT (Rs. 4.99 lakh) and the 650GT (Rs. 5.49 lakh). The four bikes will be available for purchase at AMW dealerships in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune and Chennai.

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
