CFMoto has made a bold move into the world of inline-four sportbikes with the introduction of the 750SR-S. Powered by a 749cc DOHC four-cylinder engine producing 110 horsepower and 59 lb-ft of torque, the 750SR-S isn't just another middleweight competitor—it’s a calculated entry designed to carve out its niche in a segment dominated by Japanese and European manufacturers. Though its power numbers might seem relatively modest compared to segment heavyweights like the Suzuki GSX-R750, the 750SR-S promises to stand out by offering an impressive feature set combined with CFMoto’s signature value-for-money proposition. With its anticipated debut at EICMA and its expected U.S. branding as the 750SS, this bike could generate excitement in markets typically fixated on established names.
What sets the 750SR-S apart is its meticulous engineering and thoughtful design. Wind tunnel testing has influenced its aerodynamic profile, with front spoilers that generate 30 N of downforce at high speeds to ensure increased stability and reduced drag. It boasts a premium equipment package, including a fully adjustable KYB suspension, Brembo brakes, cornering ABS, a 6.2-inch TFT screen, keyless ignition, Bluetooth connectivity, and over-the-air updates. Complementing its performance-oriented features, the 750SR-S takes inspiration from KTM’s Moto2 and Moto3 racing heritage, adding a layer of credibility to its aspirations as a serious contender in its class. Additionally, the bike’s 31.7-inch seat height, optimized ergonomics, and thoughtfully placed mid-high exhaust make it accessible while maintaining a sporty aesthetic.
While the 750SR-S might not dominate drag races, its competitive projected price—likely hovering around $10,000—positions it as an affordable alternative to pricier models. With most middleweight sportbikes falling into either the 600-650cc or 800-900cc categories, CFMoto has strategically slotted the 750SR-S in a less crowded segment, giving it room to flourish. Its meticulous build quality, combined with the credibility of features like KTM-inspired performance and cornering ABS, could help the 750SR-S overcome market skepticism toward Chinese brands—particularly in the U.S. If it delivers reliability and high value for money, this machine could establish CFMoto as a legitimate global player in the world of sportbikes.
