The CFMoto 450SR is a LAMS-approved sportbike that combines aggressive styling with a 270-degree parallel twin engine, delivering a claimed 47 hp (35 kW) at 9,500 rpm and 39 Nm of torque at 7,600 rpm. It features a steel trellis frame, inverted front forks, and a single rear shock, with braking handled by a single 320 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, both with ABS.
Tech highlights include a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, LED lighting all around, and a slipper clutch. The bike weighs approximately 179 kg (395 lbs) wet, with a seat height of 795 mm (31.3 inches) and a 14-liter fuel tank. The 270-degree crank gives it a characterful exhaust note, similar to larger twins.
While praised for its value and features, some reviewers note that the suspension is basic and the brakes lack initial bite. The 450SR is positioned as a strong competitor in the entry-level sportbike segment, offering a compelling package for new riders on a budget.
