Review

The 2016 CFMoto 650NK ABS arrived as a compelling contender in the increasingly popular middleweight naked bike segment. This model built upon CFMoto's growing reputation for offering value-driven motorcycles, continuing the NK lineage that aims to provide accessible performance. In its class, the 650NK ABS found itself competing directly with established players like the Kawasaki ER-6n and the Suzuki SV650, carving out its niche by offering a strong feature set at an attractive price point.

At its core, the 2016 650NK ABS is powered by a robust 649.00 ccm (39.60 cubic inches) engine. This full alloy nickel silicon carbide cylinder unit produces a respectable 60.35 HP (44.1 kW) at 9000 RPM, giving it ample power for everyday riding and spirited excursions. Torque figures stand at 56.00 Nm (5.7 kgf-m or 41.3 ft.lbs) at 7000 RPM, contributing to its responsive acceleration. The bike is capable of reaching a top speed of 180.0 km/h (111.8 mph), demonstrating its freeway capability. Fuel capacity is generous at 17.00 litres (4.49 gallons), ensuring a decent range between fill-ups.

As a naked bike, the 650NK ABS offers an upright stance, providing a comfortable and commanding riding position. The seat height is a manageable 795 mm (31.3 inches), with the lowest setting potentially making it accessible for a wider range of riders. This ergonomic setup, combined with the standard ABS, contributes to a confidence-inspiring ride. The chassis provides a balanced feel, making it agile enough for urban environments while remaining stable at higher speeds. Its handling characteristics are predictable, making it a suitable option for riders looking to develop their skills without being overwhelmed.

The 2016 CFMoto 650NK ABS is an ideal motorcycle for new riders seeking their first "big" bike, or experienced commuters looking for an economical yet capable daily machine. Its approachable power delivery, comfortable ergonomics, and standard ABS make it a smart choice for those prioritizing value and usability. While it may not offer the brand cachet of some rivals, the 650NK ABS delivers a solid, dependable riding experience that punches above its weight in terms of features and performance for its price point.
