- New CF Moto 450NK unveiled
- Gets a new 449cc parallel-twin engine
- Rivals KTM 390 Duke
CF Moto has taken the wraps off a new streetfighter – the 450NK. This new motorcycle will sit between the entry-level 300NK and the 650NK.
The new CF 450NK is one handsome-looking motorcycle. The overall design elements are quite aggressive, making the bike look pretty striking. Many design inspiration has been borrowed from its elder sibling, but the proportions look extremely good for a 450cc motorcycle.
The 450NK gets its power from a new 449cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that makes 46bhp at 10,000rpm and a peak torque of 39Nm at 7750rpm. This motor is mated to a six-speed gearbox.
Like most of the bikes under its umbrella, this bike, too, is loaded with equipment. It comes with a five-inch TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity features. This cluster has features like turn-by-turn navigation, theft protection and geo-fencing. There is dual-channel ABS, slipper-clutch, and traction control for the rider's safety.
The CF Moto 450NK looks quite nice on paper, and the overall styling is appealing too. Sadly, the bike won’t come to India as the India operations of the brand have shut. The bikes had great potential, but due to poor marking and operations, CF Moto could never make a big difference in the Indian market.
