Exclusive First CFMoto 650GT Lands In India

The motorcycle is powered by a 649.3cc parallel-twin engine.
We expect it to be priced at around Rs 5.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
Will be brought via the CKD route to our market.

CFMoto is currently preparing to launch three all-new motorcycles next month - the 300NK, 650NK and 650MT. But these are not the only motorcycles that the Chinese bikemaker will bring to India. The company will also launch the 250NK and the 650GT in the country by Diwali this year. In fact, at the official launch, it will also showcase the 650GT. And now, we have got exclusive images of the first 650GT spotted in India. It is highly likely that the motorcycle in question is here for testing purposes.

There are quite a few significant design-based changes between the 650GT and the 650MT. For instance, the 650GT gets split seats, redesigned LED headlamps, new fairing and slightly different ergos.

First showcased at the 2018 EICMA Motor Show, the motorcycle will be powered by the same engine seen on the 650MT - a 649.3cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin. The motor churns out 70PS of power at 8,750rpm and 62Nm of torque at 7000rpm, while transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox.
The CFMoto 650GT features the same suspension setup as the 650NK - conventional forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Braking hardware consists of dual 300mm disc brakes at the front and a single 240mm disc at the rear. The only rider aid that the CFMoto 650GT gets is dual-channel ABS.

CFMoto had mentioned that it plans to price its motorcycles competitively in India. And we expect the 650GT to retail for around Rs 5.5 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price, the CFMoto 650GT will rival the Kawasaki Ninja 650, which is priced at Rs 5.89 lakh (ex-showroom).

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX.
