CFMOTO launches 2021 650NK, 650MT, and 650GT bikes in India
What's the story
Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CFMOTO has introduced the updated 650NK, 650MT, and 650GT motorbikes in the Indian market. The two-wheelers run on a BS6-compliant 649cc engine and share a bunch of features, including an LED headlight, dual-channel ABS, and a digital instrument console. With the greener engines, the motorcycles have lost some power and torque, and have also become costlier than their BS4 counterparts.

The bikes ride on 17-inch wheels
The 2021 CFMOTO 650NK, 650MT, and 650GT feature a semi-faired design with a muscular fuel tank, a stepped-up seat, and angular rear-view mirrors. The MT and GT models also have a raised windscreen. The trio offers a digital instrument cluster, an LED headlight, and rides on 17-inch wheels. The 650NK, 650MT, and 650GT have a kerb weight of 206kg, 218kg, and 226kg, respectively.
