Looks like CFMoto is the last one to introduce its BS6 lineup in the Indian market but finally, they are here. Earlier, the Chinese brand launched the 300NK at Rs.2.29 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). However, just after that particular launch, the company soon introduced a more powerful naked streetfighter called 650NK.

For many of us, the question remains the same. Can we trust a newcomer? Is the bike manufacturer established enough to provide decent after-sales service and easy parts availability? Well, only time can tell that. But, we know that CFMoto offers some staggering bikes with a decent price tag. As a result, the company has teased the 650GT on their official social media handle. Further, customers in India will soon get another 650cc sportbike as an option.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • CFMoto has recently teased the upcoming 650GTtouch that will be available with a BS6 compliant engine.
  • The design language alongside two colour shades is expected to remain untouched.
  • It will get an updated BS6 complaint 649.3cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.

2021 CFMoto 650GT

To begin with, the upcoming CFMoto 650GT will be featuring a fully-faired design language. At the front, it will come equipped with an all-LED headlamp setup, tall visor and wing mirrors. Meanwhile, interesting features such as the USB charging port, fully digital instrument console and chunky alloy wheels are expected to be retained on the updated bike.

Another interesting part about the 2021 CFMoto 650GT is that the bike manufacturer will continue to offer the Concept Blue and Nebula Black colour shades. Apart from this, the bike will now be safer with a dual-channel ABS from now onwards.

At the heart, it will now be available with a 649.3cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. Talking in numbers, the BS4 compliant motor was truly capable of producing a massive 61.6HP @ 9000 RPM and 58.5Nm of peak torque @ 7000 RPM while being mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

The 2021 CFMoto 650GT will be available with disc brakes on either end. Further, suspension duties on the updated bike will be handled by the same telescopic forks up front and a monoshock setup at the rear.
