2026 CFMoto 675NK: 674 cc three-cylinder naked, A2 as standard and derestrictable to 89 hp, 189 kg, €5,999. Full specs and press reviews.
At a glance
The CFMoto 675NK is a 674 cc three-cylinder naked bike delivered in France as an A2 version (47.5 hp), which a dealer can derestrict to 89 hp, weighing 189 kg in running order. Priced at €5,999, it costs much less than the Yamaha MT-07, Honda CB750 Hornet and Triumph Trident 660 while offering adjustable KYB suspension, radial brakes, a quickshifter and traction control. Reviewers praise its expressive engine, comfort and equipment (4.5/5 from BikeSocial), but criticise jerky low-speed throttle response, ABS that is not lean-sensitive and sometimes intrusive, and limiting CST tyres.

Press ratings
Rich equipment, neutral handling and attractive design; jerky below 4,000 rpm, no ride-by-wire, upshift-only quickshifter, little wind protection and basic pillion accommodation.
First ride on a karting track: flexible, full-bodied triple, neutral chassis, strong brakes; abrupt on-off throttle transitions, ABS and traction control not lean-sensitive, ABS that cuts in early.
Track test: lively, vocal and full-bodied engine, very agile bike; fork lacking support, limited CST tyres and an upshift-only quickshifter.
Two-week test: solid road manners, comfort, comprehensive equipment and an attractive price; fuelling and quickshifter could be better at small throttle openings.
300 km loop: remarkable engine, light steering, progressive brakes; slightly harsh suspension on broken roads and slight driveline lash.
Exhilarating engine, riding position and suspension comfort appreciated, unbeatable price; jerky below 4,000 rpm, braking, finish and pillion comfort lag behind.
Characterful engine, agile chassis, quality suspension, quickshifter and instruments; ABS sometimes intrusive and limited slipper effect.
Lively, vocal triple, balanced chassis, careful finish; unpredictable front ABS, imprecise brake lever and a not very smooth shifter.
Press synthesis
What the world’s press says
Bennetts BikeSocial is the only publication to have given the 675NK an overall score: 4.5/5, which is the 90/100 rating used here, based on that single score. For reference, the 675SR-R sportbike, which shares the engine, frame and geometry, scored 4/5 from MCN and 8.2/10 from Bike Review; those scores are not included in the calculation. 1000PS, Motorrad, Moto.it, MCNews, Road Rider, Caradisiac, Le Repaire des Motards and Moto Magazine tested it without an overall score; Motorrad and Moto.it rode pre-production bikes on track in February 2025.
What reviewers like: an expressive, great-sounding triple (BikeSocial, Moto.it, Caradisiac), a stable and agile chassis, suspension that stays comfortable on poor surfaces (BikeSocial, Le Repaire des Motards), strong brakes (BikeSocial, Motorrad, Road Rider) and very comprehensive equipment for the price. Against the Yamaha MT-07 and Triumph Trident 660, BikeSocial rates it more comfortable than the Yamaha and more forgiving than the Triumph on rough roads. Caradisiac calls its power, quality and price ratio “absolutely unbeatable”.
What they criticise: jerky pick-up from a closed throttle at low revs (BikeSocial, 1000PS, Caradisiac, Motorrad), fuelling and quickshifter that could be better at small throttle openings (MCNews), an upshift-only quickshifter (1000PS, Moto.it), ABS that is not lean-sensitive (Motorrad), judged intrusive or unpredictable by Le Repaire des Motards and Moto Magazine, and limiting CST tyres (BikeSocial, Moto.it). Next come fuel consumption higher than its rivals’ (BikeSocial), basic wind protection and pillion accommodation (1000PS) and, for BikeSocial, resale values that remain uncertain.
Key quotes
"For riders happy to accept a little roughness around the edges in exchange for outstanding value, engaging performance and a substantial monthly saving, the 675NK is one of the most convincing arguments yet for taking a Chinese-built motorcycle seriously."
"The CFMOTO 675NK is a well-crafted naked bike for solo riders seeking something unique. It offers plenty of features, good handling, and a cool look, with minor drawbacks in engine tuning and comfort."
"Overall, the fully adjustable KYB set-up front and rear of the CFMoto 675 NK feels harmonious."
"The NK has personality, it's peppy, and it lets you know right from the start, as soon as it's fired up."
"Has solid road manners, is comfortable, well-specced and more than well-priced."
"At $10,990 ride away, the CFMOTO 675NK represents serious value. It’s stylish, well-sorted and a genuine contender in the midsize naked class."
"Its power / quality / price ratio is absolutely unbeatable at the moment"
"Elegant, effective and intuitive, the CFMOTO 675 NK proves an appealing naked bike as soon as the road starts to unwind."
"With the 675NK, CFMoto demonstrates its know-how and shakes up the class benchmarks. It still needs to make its braking electronics more dependable to be fully convincing."

Our review
Which 675NK in France?
Unveiled at EICMA 2024 and on sale in France since April 2025, the 675NK is CFMoto’s first three-cylinder naked bike. CFMoto France does not give it a model year: this page covers the bike in the 2026 range, technically unchanged since launch. It comes in two versions:
- 675NK at €5,999 (recommended retail price), in Glacier White or Tundra Grey.
- 675NK GP at €6,499, in the Champion Blue livery of the CFMOTO Racing team that competes in Moto2 and Moto3. According to CFMoto France, there is “no mechanical or technological difference” between the two.
The 675NK GP concept shown at EICMA 2025, with Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes and an Akrapovič exhaust, is only a study: it is not the GP sold in France. For comparison, the 675NK costs €6,999 in Germany and £5,299 (plus on-the-road charges) in the UK; in the United States, RevZilla and Rider Magazine report an MSRP of $7,499.
How good is the triple?
The 674 cc inline triple (72 x 55.2 mm), with DOHC and 12 valves, comes from the 675SR-R sportbike. In France, the bike is delivered as a “native A2 version”, at 47.5 hp (35 kW), and “derestriction to the full (A) version is possible” at a dealer, unlocking 89 hp (66 kW) at 11,000 rpm. Torque peaks at 68 Nm at 8,250 rpm according to the French owner’s manual and the German importer; the French model page states 67 Nm. The throttle is cable-operated: the bike has neither ride-by-wire nor riding modes. The six-speed gearbox has an assist and slipper clutch and a standard, upshift-only quickshifter. CFMoto claims 200 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 3.9 s.
Reviewers agree on the engine’s character: BikeSocial likens it to a “mini super naked”, Moto.it finds it lively and vocal, Motorrad flexible and full-bodied. Reservations concern jerky pick-up from a closed throttle at low revs, below 4,000 rpm according to 1000PS, and a slightly flat top end (BikeSocial).
How does it ride?
The tubular steel frame is paired with an aluminium swingarm and KYB suspension: a fully adjustable 41 mm upside-down fork and a preload- and rebound-adjustable monoshock, with 130 mm of travel at both ends. Rake is 23.7° and the wheelbase 1,400 mm. Ground clearance is 140 mm according to CFMoto France, 145 mm according to the manual. The J.Juan brakes combine twin 300 mm discs with radial four-piston calipers and a 240 mm rear disc; the two-channel ABS is not lean-sensitive. The original tyres are CSTs.
BikeSocial highlights its stability, comfort on rough roads and strong brakes, but finds it less precise than a Trident 660. Moto.it says the fork lacks support, Motorrad that the ABS cuts in early. The CST tyres are the main limitation for BikeSocial and Moto.it.
What equipment does it have?
The 675NK gets a curved 5-inch TFT with Bluetooth, two-level switchable traction control (the French page mentions three levels), tyre pressure and temperature monitoring, automatic hazard lights under emergency braking, two USB sockets (A and C) and LED lighting. The T-BOX connectivity unit is optional in France, whereas it is standard in Germany and the UK. There is no cruise control.
Who is it for?
The 675NK is aimed first at A2 licence holders who want a triple they can keep after passing the full A licence. CFMoto quotes 5.5 L/100 km, giving a range of about 270 km from 15 litres; BikeSocial recorded about 5.8 L/100 km. The warranty is 2 years in France, compared with 4 years in the UK and 5 years in Germany for purchases since April 2026.
From one generation to the next
CFMoto France presents the 675NK as “the second generation of the roadster family” and as “the evolution of the NK series”. It succeeds the parallel-twin 650NK in the range, whose last (Euro 5) version claimed 56.5 hp and 206 kg. The triple, the quickshifter and traction control are new. Below the 675NK, the range includes the 450NK, an A2 twin that needs no restriction.

The seat is 810 mm high, and CFMoto offers 795 and 825 mm accessory seats. The seat and tail unit come from the 675SR-R sportbike, but the wide, higher handlebars and lower, further-forward footpegs give an undemanding naked-bike riding position: BikeSocial found it roomy for two 1.82 m testers and more comfortable than the Yamaha MT-07, noting that taller riders lean forward a little more. 1000PS and Caradisiac, however, find the pillion seat basic, and 1000PS notes limited wind protection. CFMoto quotes a 150 kg payload (German importer).

The owner’s manual published by CFMoto France calls for a first oil and filter change at 1,000 km, then an oil and filter change every 5,000 km or 6 months (10W-40 JASO MA2 oil, 3.1 litres with the filter). Valve clearances are checked every 40,000 km, spark plugs replaced every 10,000 km, the air filter every 20,000 km or 24 months and the coolant every 35,000 km or 24 months; brake fluid is changed every 24 months. The chain must be lubricated and adjusted every 1,000 km. The manual halves the intervals under severe use. CFMoto does not publish a service cost. CFMoto France’s warranty is 2 years parts and labour, with servicing within the CFMoto France network; the 675NK does not get the 5-year warranty granted to the 800NK, 700MT or 800MT.
