CFMoto

Barely a decade ago, CFMoto was largely viewed as a budget-focused Chinese manufacturer building practical commuter bikes and ATVs. Fast forward to today, and it's preparing to field a V4 superbike capable of brushing against the 200-mph barrier.

“Less is more.” CFMoto’s latest motorcycle embodies that philosophy, especially in a class that has not just been growing in popularity, but also in the size of the motorcycles themselves. This one’s simple and straightforward … and I like that.

Four years ago, when the RA9 concept was first introduced by the Chinese-origin Cyclone, a part of the bigger Zongshen group, it became one of the most advanced bikes to come out of China. That’s because in 2021, the idea of a liter-class Chinese bike was still fairly unexplored.

CFMoto has been one of the most talked-about bikemakers, and most of the plaudits have been for its adventure offerings. Now, the 1000MT-X debuts as the brand's new flagship ADV, ready to take on the established players like BMW, Ducati, and Triumph.

Guess what: Harley-Davidson isn’t America’s top-selling company. And neither is it even second! Surprise, surprise, it’s Kawasaki of all manufacturers, which puts its name on the crown. All thanks to a sales growth of 14.2% year on year.

The CFMoto V4 SR-RR comes with a 997cc, 90-degree V4, which produces over 210 horsepower. That will have it competing against the likes of Yamaha R1M, Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR. But when will it finally arrive?

It’s been a whole year since BMW teased the prototype of its F 450 GS. At this year’s EICMA, the much-anticipated mini-GS finally made its global debut, and drew plenty of oohs and aahs.

CFMoto is not resting on its laurels, having just recently revealed its first-ever inline-four sports motorcycle. The Chinese bikemaker has just revamped its lineup for America with some exciting motos that make the brand hard to ignore.

CFMoto has unveiled the all-new 2026 750SR-S, which becomes its first inline-four motorcycle. The 749cc motor produces 110 hp and 59 lb.ft of torque – not exactly groundbreaking numbers. But it will be incredible value for money, typical of CFMoto.

CFMoto has a reputation for creating some of the best value-for-money motorcycles in the world. Add the CFMoto 150 Aura to that list – an all-new retro-styled scooter. It isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but it gets the most important things right.

The entry-level/small adventure motorcycle market has taken off of late. Somewhere between the well-known names of Royal Enfield, KTM, and BMW Motorrad, a certain Moto Morini has popped up with its own weirdly-named Alltrhike, a proper 450cc ADV.

It’s not every day that you see a US$1,000 motorcycle that’s ready to ride as it comes. That’s exactly what we have here in the form of the X-Pro MC-N025, a unique commuter bike that comes from … China. Yep.
