After a slew of unveils such as the 450MT adventure tourer and the 125NK Concept, CFMoto has taken the wraps off a new product at the EICMA 2023 – the 800NK GP, which comes with a special livery as well as a proper hardware upgrade. Based on the Chinese manufacturer's flagship street naked bike – the 800NK, the track-focused version features a CFMoto Racing PruestelGP's racing livery adorned with black, blue, and pink colours. Styling aside, the race-inspired naked bike gets premium cycle parts from reputable OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) in the industry.
CFMoto has equipped the 800NK GP with Brembo Stylema radially mounted brake callipers, fully adjustable Ohlins rear suspension, CNC-machined parts, as well as an SC-Project exhaust system as standard.

CFMoto 800NK GP: Other Highlights
The riding ergonomics have also been revised as well, with the bike sporting lower handlebars and higher rear sets. Meanwhile, the mechanicals remain unaltered. Powering the 800NK GP is a 799cc, twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that belts out 99.2bhp and 81Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are carried out by a 6-speed gearbox. Although there is no official news from CFMoto about the launch of the 800NK GP in India, we assume that it is unlikely to go on sale here.
CFMoto 125NK Concept: To Rival KTM 125 Duke
The KTM 125 Duke-rivalling CFMoto 125NK was showcased in the concept form at the EICMA 2023. Unveiled alongside the 450MT adventure motorcycle, the 125NK Concept is based on the NK-C22 Concept, in terms of styling. Thus, the former gets a signature LED headlamp, an air duct on the front wheel, a high-mounted exhaust can, a single-piece seat, as well as a sharp tail section.
Mechanical specifications and other details are under wraps. The brand is expected to launch the production-spec bike sometime in 2025 for the European market. As far as India goes, it is unlikely to arrive anytime soon.
