History

edit

The first of the CFMOTO 650 motorcycles is the 650NK, which was released in 2012. Five years later, two new models were released in 2017, the 650GT and 650MT.[1]

Police use

edit

The CFMOTO CF650-2 is a police version of the 650TR-G. It is the first high-horsepower motorcycle designed and produced in China. Its in-line twin-cylinder eight-valve engine has a volume of 650 Cubic centimeters, with a net weight of 458 pounds (208 kilograms), it only takes 11 seconds for a motorcycle to accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. With an adjustable windshield, it can reduce wind resistance when driving at high speed, thereby saving fuel consumption.

The CF650-2 was highly recommended by the Police Equipment Procurement Center of the Ministry of Public Security, and was listed as a designated vehicle, and was adopted by many People's Police traffic units.[2] On 13 January 2014, two 2014 versions of the CF650-2 were tested by the traffic departments of the Hong Kong Police Force for a period of 7 weeks[3] to assess the suitability of introducing them to Hong Kong.[4]
