Pros and Cons in comparison

CFMOTO 800NK Sport 2023

Here comes a real firecracker from China on the market! The 800 NK shines with over-complete equipment; this bike has features that are not available elsewhere in this class. The engine is a joy dispenser with charisma, the chassis is well-balanced and the brakes are correctly dimensioned. Smaller tuning points still need to be tinkered with and the traction control will probably be included in the next model year. However, the package is more than tempting even in the current configuration, considering the low entry price.
