The 675 cc triple engine also reminds us of the old Triumph 675 cc motor that was deployed in the older models of the Street Triple and the Daytona 675. Coming to the CFMoto 675 SR, it will be the first model to get the new 675 engine and the company says that the motorcycle will have first class features when it comes to cycle parts, design and electronics, making it a machine for road and track. This is the first instance of CFMoto making a 3-cylinder engine and the company is likely to use the engine in multiple models, which we could see in 2024.
