Adding to their arsenal, CFMoto have announced a new naked that will sit at the top of their sporty hierarchy – the 800NK
CFMoto has been around for a fair while now, and they’re becoming increasingly more popular as riders look for a more budget-friendly alternative. As they expand their arsenal, they’re targeting the middleweight naked segment with their new 800NK.
So, the specs. It has, unsurprisingly, an 800cc (799 if we’re being picky) parallel twin that puts out a decent 95bhp and 79Nm of torque, so promising stuff. The other good news is that this thing only weighs 186kg, or 189kg if you opt for the Advance model, but more on that later.
The CFMoto 800NK also boasts impressive features such as a fully adjustable KYB upside-down fork, a rear shock absorber, and a lightweight chromoly-steel-tube frame. Coupled with aluminum-alloy wheels and MAXXIS tyres, it should offer excellent handling and agility. The ABS-assisted J.Juan radial-mount, four-piston front brake calipers with 320mm discs ensure ample stopping power.
The Advance bit I was on about earlier, CFMoto promises ‘cutting-edge technology’ on this bike, so what have they got in mind? Both versions come with a slipper clutch, cruise control, and three riding modes – Sport, Street, and Rain. The Advanced comes with a Quickshifter, steering dampener and a larger dashboard with more connectivity features. More connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay (no word on Android Auto yet) on its larger 8″ TFT display.
“The new 800NK lineup comes with a range of high quality accessories to further enhance the ride and sporty aesthetics of the bikes. Accessories that will soon be available include a Rear Seat Cover, Ergo Rider’s Seat, Handlebar End Mirrors, Adjustable Brake and Clutch Levers, Drop Bar, Axles, Crash Bung Kit, Adjustable Footpeg System, and Front Spoiler. These accessories will provide riders with the option to personalise their 800NK, both in terms of style and functionality, to suit their preferences and enhance their overall riding experience.“
Fancy getting one for yourself? They’ll be in dealerships next month (July 2023) and will be priced from £6,999 with pricing for the Advance version set to be announced later this month. Finance-wise, 3.9% PP/4.9% PCP deals are currently available for customers
