CFmoto 700 Heritage

So, does anyone have any experience with these? They have the KTM super duke engine in them. I like the way they look. I have a few dealers for the CFmoto side by sides that I deal with in Canada, but have never seen any of the motorcycles here. The side by sides look nice, and I have heard good things about them. But this 700CL-X looks pretty nice. I guess CFMoto and KTM have a deal, that is why they have the duke engine.

Looks...abbreviated.

 

I like it

 

That is most certainly not a super duke engine... Unless the 1290 V-twin looks like a parallel twin....

 

Kinda looks like a kawasaki Vulcan 650 motor to me.....

 

And they cut the displacement in half.

just buy a Yamaha XSR 900

 

KTM has a whole range of parallel-twins coming, from 450cc on up. Is that bike not some kind of KTM/Husqvarna Svartpilen variant?

 

Does KTm sell engines to chinese companies? I really don't know. But the motor doesnt appear to be austrian but I have been wrong once or twice before.

 

CF Motors and KTM are partners in China, so yes.

I bet that’s where the new parallel-twins are coming from. Pierer announced a full lineup, which has me curious if they’ll do something like a 490cc Adventure with the parallel twin engine.

 

I dunno about a smaller parallel when they’ve already got a nice single to get the job done. But that 890 Adventure R looks likes it fucks on prom night ...

 

He said it on camera, so I have no reason doubt him.

Yep. That 890 looks to be the real deal.

 

Looks like these guys are releasing a 1250cc touring bike.

You're right. I am not sure what I was thinking. I knew the Duke was a v. Brain fart. But the engine is at least a KTM design. Specs say it is making a little over 70hp. I like the look of the bike. I might have to talk to some of the CFMoto dealers that I deal with about it. I am kinda interested in seeing one.

 

Did a little looking. The engine in the CFMoto is based on the 790 Duke engine, not the Super Duke.
