It’s not just its new V4 engine that CFMoto has unveiled at the 2024 Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori (EICMA). Following the reveal of the 675SR-R, the Chinese manufacturer has now released that sportbike’s naked sibling, the 675NK.
This joins the a packing CFMoto’s all-new triple. This 675cc liquid-cooled, three-cylinder engine puts out 88hp at 11,000rpm and 68Nm of torque at 8,250rpm. This high-revving engine gets a slipper clutch for easier shifting.

In terms of design, CFMoto’s new bike still bears that quintessential NK look. The brand’s signature headlamp is still prominent up front, and the fairings look very familiar with recognizable colors to boot.
But since this is a naked, you’ll see more of the mechanical bits of the 675NK underneath, and it’s quite a thing. That’s a chunky-looking engine with three glorious exhaust pipes stretching towards the back.
This NK also gets the works. It has an aluminum-alloy, high-arch twin swingarm at the rear with a 41mm fully adjustable inverted suspension up front and a preload- and rebound-adjustable monoshock out back. Stopping power is handled by 300mm twin front disc brakes up with a four-piston radial caliper and a 240mm single rear disc with a single-piston sliding caliper.
The 675NK sits on 17-inch front and rear wheels shod in 120/70 and 180/55 tires, respectively. The bike comes equipped with ABS and traction control as standard. In terms of dimensions, it stands 2,020mm long, 849mm wide, and 1,155mm tall with a 1,400mm wheelbase and a listed seat height of 810mm. It also has a 15-liter fuel tank and weighs 189kg overall when wet.
CFMoto hasn’t divulged all the information yet, but some of the photos indicate that this will borrow a lot from the 675SR-R, including the likes of its brake-cooling technology. The 675NK also features the SR-R’s five-inch curved TFT screen with an optional T-Box for over-the-air updates.
We’ve been getting first dibs on so many CFMoto bikes over the past year, and that means we can only expect the 675NK to arrive in our market sooner rather than later. Come on, Motostrada, make it happen...
