Track-tastic three-cylinder CFMoto 675SR-R sportsbike set to land in the UK from 2025!

After months of teasers, CFMoto have finally pulled the covers off their long-anticipated 675SR-R three-cylinder sportsbike – with the UK arm of the business now confirming it’s expected to land on our shores in 2025.

The Chinese firm, based in Hangzhou, have already stepped into the smaller sportsbike arena in Europe – launching models including the £5699 twin-cylinder 450SR-S to go up against the likes of the KTM RC390, Kawasaki Ninja 500, and Aprilia RS457.

They are now moving up a class, with the new SR-R powered by a Euro5+ inline three-cylinder engine producing a claimed 88.5bhp at 11,000rpm. Torque sits at a suggested 50.2lb.ft at 8250rpm – making it a potential direct competitor to the likes of Yamaha’s R7, Triumph’s Daytona 660, and the Honda CBR650R.

Like the twin-cylinder Yamaha, the CFMoto looks to offer a properly sporty riding position, with a raised back end, and aggressive clip-on bars directing the rider into a neat cockpit featuring a five-inch curved TFT dash and small front screen.

There are also speed-enhancing electronic goodies including a quickshifter and two-stage traction control, with other neat touches including front brake ducts for cooling and integrated winglets in the side fairings – largely for show, given the performance figures.

Sticking with the styling, the thin front lighting mimics the look of sports machines already sold by CFMoto, with the rear light housed in a long, thin bar across the numberplate bracket away from the bodywork. Indicators are found within the backs of the mirrors – potentially making life easier if stripping bits off ahead of a trackday.

The engine itself is fed via a 15-litre fuel tank and wrapped in a tubular steel alloy frame, paired with an arched aluminium swingarm. Seat height sits at a modest 810mm as standard, with a pair of 17in rims dressed in CST tyres as standard.

Away from the rubber, the CFMoto gets front and rear suspension by KYB – with the 41mm upside down forks offering full adjustment, and the rear mono shock giving alterations for preload and rebound. Both ends feature 130mm of travel.

Braking comes courtesy of J.Juan, with a pair of 300mm front discs and four-piston radial calipers. At the rear sits a single 240mm disc and one piston sliding caliper. It’s currently unclear exactly when the new bikes will arrive, or the price point.
