A new middleweight sportsbike for Malaysia, the 2025 CFMoto 675 SR-R, priced at RM37,888. Pricing does not include road tax, insurance or registration and there are two colour schemes available – Nebula White and Nebula Black.
The 675 SR-R gets motive power from an inline three-cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine, displaying 675 cc and producing 94 hp at 11,000 rpm with 70 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm. Mated to a six-speed gearbox with assist ad slipper clutch, the 675 SR-R also gets an up-only quickshifter.
In keeping with its sporting nature, the 675 SR-R also gets adjustable suspension from Kayaba. The front end is held up with a 40 mm diameter upside-down fork and the rear gets a monnoshcok, both adjustable for preload and compression.
Braking for the front end is done with twin disc brakes clamped by four-piston J Juan callipers while the rear gets a single disc and single-piston calliper. Two-channel ABS is standard equipment and is two-level traction control.
Necessary information is displayed on a TFT-LCD screen measuring 5-inches with lap timer and smartphone connectivity offered as an extra cost option. Riding conveniences include both USB-A and USB-C charging ports and LED lighting is used throughout.
Wheel sizing no the 675 SR-R is 17-inches, wearing superbike rubber in 120/70 and 180/55 sizes. Weighing 195 kg wet, the 675 SR-R carries 14-liters of fuel in the tank while seat height is set at 810 mm.
In the Malaysia middleweight sportsbike market there are several rivals to the 675 SR-R, including the Triumph Daytona 660, priced at RM49,500. There is also the Honda CBR650R which is tagged at RM46,499 and the Suzuki GSX-8R which retails for RM53,800.
Interesting but a bit underwhelming.
Cfmoto could have given it another 1000rpm redline and 15hp. At least make it a worthwhile tradeoff of comfort and midrange torque. More befitting its sporting look and triple engine.
Ironically, the bigger brother is cheaper from the ongoing cash rebates on the 800nk.
That said , a proper test ride will be interesting when available. Should be better at tackling corners than the 800nk which suffers from front end instability at the limits due to a combination of weight distribution, rider ergo and perhaps suspension setting…just feels like it doesn’t have enough weight up front.
Other competitors:
Honda CBR650R(old gen non eclutch) – RM45.5k
Triumph Daytona 660 – RM49.5k
Suzuki GSX-8R – RM53.8k
CFMOTO Malaysia priced this bike VERY competitively. No matter what brand you support, we as consumers will always benefit if there are high competition among brands. Maybe now Japanese brands will finally stop price-gouging their (big)bikes. Though, I doubt it.
Yeah, I hope so and I hope this will open their eyes. Hope they can see China’s brand is one of their competitors.
