Title: A Possible Replacement For the ST???
Post by: ruSTynutz on May 12, 2020, 11:03:55 AM
A civilian version of the new CFMoto CF1250J police bike with a modified KTM LC8 engine is coming and it will be the biggest Chinese bike yet!

Michael Poynton, director of Australian importer Mojo Motorcycles, confirms the civvy version of the CF1350J is coming, “however this will be a while off yet”.

I looked at a CF Moto (not this size) when on the lookout for a new bike before settling on the kwaka.

I love the ST but this does look interesting. I wonder if it will be reliable.

It will be interesting to see another entry into the "Large Tourer" market, a category that has dried up a bit in recent years, in favour of the fashion for "Adventure Tourers".

That is VERY promising.  It's only a V-twin, but I'd seriously consider it for the big beautiful TFT display!  In English, of course, if they ever start talking to us again...

There are a lot of bits that look like they could have come off an ST1300- the whole front view, for a start, panniers, and so on, depending how closely you look.  But the Chinese have had a lot of practice at "adapting"  (stealing) technology.

At 11 seconds I see what appears to be a rear sprocket.     :well

Certainly looks like a sprocket

Given that it is chain driven, I would certainly hope there are some sprockets there!

May not see it here given the current relationship between the Chinese and Australian governments.

 :think1 One advantage would be built in GPS tracking for rides, no need for spot walla. That's if the Chinese government would release the data.

Doesn't seem to have affected the sale of Chinese cars too much here in Oz, Shillas...
