CFMoto 650MT
The CFMOTO 650MT is a midweight touring motorcycle designed to offer upright comfort and adventure styling at a more accessible price point. Within our big bike rental lineup it is included as a benchmark for riders evaluating affordable tourers that still provide decent wind protection and stability. Powered by a 649 cc parallel twin, the 650MT produces steady, manageable power suited to commuting, suburban transfers, and extended day trips into the countryside. Its tall screen and roomy ergonomics highlight how a mid-capacity tourer can deliver comfort without demanding advanced riding skills. The chassis and suspension are tuned more for stability than for aggressive handling, which suits travelers who prioritize predictability. For visitors, the 650MT demonstrates what to expect from an adventure-style motorcycle built for steady progress rather than speed.

The 650MT delivers predictable handling and comfortable ergonomics in a midweight touring package. Its parallel-twin engine provides smooth throttle response and enough torque for relaxed acceleration at everyday speeds. The chassis feels stable on longer stretches, while steering inputs remain light and manageable. Suspension offers a balance between comfort and support, keeping the bike composed over irregular surfaces. Brakes are effective without being abrupt, with ABS ensuring additional control in low-grip conditions.
Rider comfort is supported by an upright seating position and a broad seat that distributes weight evenly. The adjustable windscreen reduces airflow to the chest, making longer commutes or weekend trips less tiring. Passenger accommodation is reasonable, though the rear pad is more suitable for shorter journeys. Controls operate lightly, and the gearbox shifts smoothly under casual or brisk riding. Vibration levels are modest, with the engine running calmly at midrange rpm.
Practical features include compatibility with panniers or a top case, which mount securely without upsetting balance. Real-world fuel economy typically falls in the 23–27 km/l range, offering solid range from the tank. Suspension absorbs everyday bumps well, but harder impacts can still be felt through the rear. Ground clearance is adequate for moderate lean angles, though not aimed at aggressive cornering. Maintenance is straightforward, with service points accessible for routine checks and adjustments.

✅ Upright ergonomics with adjustable wind protection
