This Yamaha MT-07-Rivaling Chinese Bike Is Taking America By Storm

Not long ago, we told you CFMoto’s plan to bring its middleweight naked to the US, thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency filings. Now, that’s exactly what has happened. The Chinese bikemaker has launched the 675NK in America to take on the middleweight naked category in style. As always, the pricing is super aggressive.

The CFMoto 675NK Is Priced At Well Under $8,000

Doing what it does best, CFMoto has priced the 2026 675NK at an uber-aggressive $7,499. You can have the bike in two liveries:

• Glacier White (with blue accents)
• Tundra Gray (with black accents)

At that price, the naked is $500 cheaper than its fully faired sibling, the 675SS. More importantly, that MSRP helps it undercut all of its key rivals. Both the Yamaha MT-07 and Triumph Trident 660 cost a whopping $1,100 more, while the Honda CB650R sells for $1,900 more than the 675. Let’s also not forget that the MT-07 has a $600 surcharge now, thanks to the tariff war. No such hike has been reported by CFMoto yet.

A Triple-Cylinder Engine Powers The CFMoto 675NK

With Class-Leading Performance Figures

What do you get for that moolah, you ask? Well, a lot. The crown jewel here is CFMoto’s newest engine: a 675cc, triple-cylinder mill with 95 horsepower and 51 pound-feet. Both of those are class-leading figures, which are well clear of the MT-07 and Trident 660, but closely followed by the CB650’s 94 horsepower. All that oomph reaches the wheel via a six-speed transmission while traction control and a quickshifter make your life easier. There’s no blipper, though.

Next up, the engine sits inside a steel chassis like the 675SS. This is paired with a bespoke subframe, gullwing-type swingarm, and KYB suspension. The latter comprises 41 mm USD forks and a monoshock, both boasting adjustability to let you fine-tune things. A set of 17-inch wheels rounds things off. The entire package appears rather accessible, courtesy of the 417-pound curb weight and a 31.9-inch saddle height.

Finally, like the engine, the 675 hits the nail on the head in the features department. It has a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, complete with smartphone connectivity for viewing phone notifications. TPMS, all-LED lights, and dual-channel ABS are also present as standard. Is this class-leading? No, the CB750 trumps it. But is it more than sufficient? Yes, we think so.
