The 2026 CFMOTO 675SS isn’t just another budget sportbike. It’s 429 pounds of aluminum, electronics, and attitude powered by a screaming 675cc inline-triple that resets what $7,999 can buy you in the US. With winglets, a steering damper, fully-adjustable KYB suspension, and a 95 hp triple, CFMOTO just dragged the European middleweight formula down to Japanese 650 pricing.
After riding it through the canyons, Rider Magazine said: “The 675SS surprised and impressed me… Maybe it’s time I made room for one more spot at the poker table”.
Quick Verdict for US Riders
- Who it’s for: New/intermediate riders wanting superbike tech without superbike insurance, track-day riders on a budget, and anyone cross-shopping Yamaha R7, Aprilia RS 660, or Honda CBR650R.
- Killer advantage: 95 hp triple + electronics + adjustable suspension for $7,999 MSRP. That’s $1,800–$3,000 less than Euro 660cc rivals.
- Watch-outs: CST tires are decent but not track-spec, 4.0 gal tank limits touring range to ∼170 miles, and dealer network is still growing vs Japanese brands.

Key Features Breakdown
1. 675cc Inline-Triple Engine
Unlike 650cc twins, CFMOTO’s triple delivers torque early and builds smoothly to 11,000 rpm. CFMOTO calls it “calm urgency — always ready, never rushed”. The belly-mounted exhaust gives it a distinct growl you don’t get from Japanese 650s.
2. Electronics Package You Don’t Expect at $7,999
- Bosch dual-channel ABS + adjustable TC
- 5” Full-color TFT Display with Bluetooth®, CFMOTO RideSync® navigation, TPMS
- Up-quickshifter standard
- USB Type-C charging port
3. Premium Chassis Hardware
KYB fully-adjustable suspension front and rear is rare under $10k. Add winglets and a steering damper for high-speed stability, plus J.Juan radial 4-piston calipers. Cycle News notes these parts normally appear on bikes costing thousands more.
4. Aggressive Supersport Design
Low bodywork, angular panels, and forward pitch create an “unmistakable silhouette”. Winglets aren’t just for looks — they’re functional aero at track speeds.
5. 2-Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty
Matches Yamaha and beats the 1-year coverage on many European brands.
2026 Pricing, OTD Cost & Financing
- MSRP: $7,999
- Typical Out-The-Door: $9,200–$9,800 depending on state tax, $400–$600 freight, $200–$400 dealer setup
- Sample Finance: Dealers advertising $500 down, $187/mo for 60 mo @ 7.99% WAC
- Insurance: Expect $50–$120/mo for full coverage with clean record. The 675cc triple often classes cheaper than 600cc inline-four supersports.
Pro tip most sites miss: CFMOTO dealers can’t discount MSRP much, but many will throw in first service free or discount accessories if you ask. Freight varies by region — Florida dealers quote $400, California closer to $600.
How It Compares: 675SS vs Competitors
| Model | Engine | HP | Weight | Suspension | Electronics | MSRP 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CFMOTO 675SS | 675cc Triple | 95 hp | 429 lbs | KYB Fully-Adj | TC, QS, TFT, TPMS | $7,999 |
| Yamaha R7 | 689cc Twin | 73 hp | 414 lbs | KYB Non-Adj | No TC, No QS | $9,199 |
| Aprilia RS 660 | 659cc Twin | 100 hp | 403 lbs | KYB Adj | TC, QS, TFT, IMU | $11,499 |
| Honda CBR650R | 649cc I-4 | 94 hp | 445 lbs | Showa SFF-BP | TC only | $9,899 |
The 675SS undercuts the R7 by $1,200 while offering more power, adjustable suspension, and full electronics. Against the RS 660, you save $3,500 and only give up 5 hp and IMU-based aids.
What Owners Should Know: Beyond the Brochure
1. First Service & Maintenance
600-mile service is valve-check free — just oil, filter, chain adjust. After that, 7,500-mile intervals. Bosch EFI and slipper clutch mean low maintenance vs carbs of old.
2. Tire Upgrade Path
Stock CST tires are fine for street, but track riders should budget $350 for Pirelli Rosso IV or Dunlop Q5S. 180/55-R17 rear is a common size.
3. Ergonomics
At 31.9” seat height with sporty clip-ons, it’s committed but not R6-level aggressive. 5’6”–6’1” riders fit best. Rearsets are adjustable.
4. Dealer Network & Parts
CFMOTO USA now has 600+ dealers. Most parts ship from Minnesota warehouse in 3–5 days. Join CFMOTO USA owners groups for direct dealer recommendations.
5. Resale
Too new for solid data, but 2024 450SS models hold ∼80% value after 1 year. The 675SS spec should help buck the “Chinese bike depreciation” trend.

The Bottom Line
The 2026 CFMOTO 675SS is the middleweight sportbike America didn’t know it needed. For $7,999 you get a 95 hp triple, winglets, steering damper, full electronics, and KYB suspension that would’ve been unthinkable 3 years ago. As Rider Magazine put it, “Attention to detail is spot on regardless of price”.
If you want Yamaha reliability with Aprilia spec at Ninja 650 money, this is your bike. Test ride one — “Another lean is all it takes to understand: this bike doesn’t just meet your expectations—it resets them”.
