If you’ve been keeping an eye on the motorcycle world, you might have noticed how CFMoto has been steadily pushing its way into the spotlight. Known for making bikes that bring solid features at prices that don’t make your wallet cry, the company has long been teasing the idea of releasing a four-cylinder sport bike. For years, they were building up to it with models like the three-cylinder 675SS and 675NK. Now, the wait is finally over.
Meet the 2026 CFMoto 750SR-S. This is the brand’s very first inline-four motorcycle, and it’s a big deal. The bike was officially revealed with all the buzz and excitement you’d expect from a global debut, with CFMoto choosing none other than EICMA—the world’s most famous motorcycle show—for its unveiling. For fans of performance bikes who don’t want to pay outrageous prices, this one is worth paying attention to.
The Heart of the CFMoto 750SR-S
Let’s start with the engine, because that’s always the first thing riders want to know. The 750SR-S packs a 749cc DOHC four-cylinder engine. On paper, it makes about 110 horsepower and 59 lb-ft of torque (that’s around 80 Nm). Now, before you roll your eyes at those numbers, yes, it’s not exactly a fire-breathing monster compared to bikes like the Suzuki GSX-R750, which pushes out 147 horsepower. But raw numbers aren’t everything.
CFMoto has always leaned into value, and that’s what makes this bike interesting. You’re not just paying for top speed or acceleration; you’re getting a balanced machine that delivers good performance with modern features, while still being reasonably priced. In fact, when you consider the market this bike fits into, the numbers start to look a lot more appealing.
Where Does It Fit in the Market
Middleweight sport bikes are in a bit of a tricky place these days. You’ve got the 600–650cc range with bikes like the Yamaha R7, and then you jump up into the 800–900cc category. That leaves a bit of a gap in the middle, and not many bikes fill it. Apart from Suzuki’s GSX-R750 and the newer GSX-8R, there aren’t a ton of names in this segment.
This is where the CFMoto 750SR-S shines. It slips right into that empty slot. It gives riders who want something between “entry-level sport bike” and “serious superbike” a new option. And given how CFMoto has been pricing its bikes lately, it could be one of the smartest buys in this whole category.
Features That Catch Your Eye
CFMoto didn’t just stop with the engine. They’ve loaded the 750SR-S with a lot of features that riders are going to appreciate, especially if you’re into tech. For suspension, you’re looking at a fully adjustable KYB setup, both front and rear. The front gets upside-down forks, while the rear has a monoshock attached to a cast aluminum, single-sided swingarm. Add in a 20-stage adjustable steering damper, and you’ve got some serious handling potential.
Braking is handled by Brembo, with M4.32 monobloc radial-mount four-piston calipers up front. They even added race-style cowls to direct cooling air toward the calipers, which is a nice touch for performance riding.
And yes, cornering ABS is part of the package, which is something you’d expect at this level. On top of that, the bike gets a 6.2-inch TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless ignition, over-the-air updates, a quickshifter (upshift only), cornering lights, tire pressure monitoring, and auto headlamps. It’s basically got all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a modern sport bike.
Designed With Aerodynamics in Mind
One of the cooler aspects of the 750SR-S is its focus on aerodynamics. The bike has actually gone through wind tunnel testing, which you don’t often hear about in this price segment. Those winglets or spoilers at the front aren’t just for looks. CFMoto says they produce about 30 newtons of downforce at high speeds.
What does that mean for you as a rider? Better stability when you’re pushing it hard, and improved airflow around your body, which reduces drag. So instead of just being flashy add-ons, they actually serve a real purpose. It’s this kind of detail that shows CFMoto is aiming to compete seriously with established brands.
Comfort and Weight
Seat height comes in at 31.7 inches, which is manageable for most riders. But if you’re taller and want a little extra room, you can raise it to 32.5 inches. That kind of flexibility makes it appealing to a wider range of riders.
Now, let’s talk about the weight. At 490 pounds (about 222 kg wet), it’s not the lightest in its class. This means you’re not going to be winning drag races against bikes that are built to be lighter and faster. But then again, the 750SR-S isn’t about being the absolute fastest—it’s about being a fun, reliable, and affordable middleweight sport bike. And honestly, for everyday riding or even spirited weekend rides, that extra weight won’t be a deal breaker.
Style and Design
The look of the 750SR-S deserves some attention too. CFMoto has included their signature hockey stick-shaped daytime running lights, which give the bike a sharp, aggressive face. The turn signals are neatly integrated into the mirrors, which is both practical and stylish.
The mid-high exhaust placement is another nice touch, letting you see that this bike is packing a four-cylinder engine without hiding it behind bulky bodywork. Overall, the styling is aggressive enough to catch your eye, but clean enough to feel modern and premium. It’s not trying too hard, and that balance is refreshing.
Ties to KTM and Racing Heritage
Another reason to take this bike seriously is its connection to KTM. CFMoto and KTM have a long-standing partnership, with KTM helping engineer performance parts and even sharing racing technology from Moto2 and Moto3. That means this bike isn’t just a flashy newcomer—it’s got the kind of engineering DNA that comes from serious racing experience.
The Big Question Price
Of course, the big question everyone has is simple—what’s it going to cost? That’s what will decide whether the 750SR-S is just another interesting option or a true game-changer.
Right now, pricing hasn’t been officially announced. But if we look at CFMoto’s track record, we can take a pretty good guess. The 675SS, for example, starts at $7,999 in the U.S. With all the upgrades and extra features on the 750SR-S, it’s reasonable to expect it will land close to $10,000.
If that turns out to be true, it could really shake things up. Why? Because most of the competition in this segment costs at least $2,000 more. And when you’re shopping for a bike that already costs five figures, that price difference can make or break the deal.
Who Is This Bike For
So who should be looking at the 750SR-S? Honestly, it’s a bike that appeals to a lot of people. If you’re moving up from a smaller sport bike and want more power without jumping all the way into superbike territory, this fits perfectly. If you’re someone who wants modern features and stylish looks but doesn’t want to overspend, it’s got you covered. And if you’re a rider who likes to stand out with something different, this bike gives you a fresh option outside the usual Japanese Big Four.
Final Thoughts
The 2026 CFMoto 750SR-S isn’t about being the fastest or the most powerful. Instead, it’s about balance. It gives you a strong inline-four engine, modern tech, premium components, and sharp styling—all at a price that should make a lot of riders think twice before spending more on the competition.
Yes, it’s a bit heavy, and yes, the performance numbers don’t break records. But that’s not really the point. The point is that CFMoto is stepping up in a big way, showing it can compete with the best, and offering a bike that could be the sweet spot for a lot of riders.
If the final price tag comes in around $10,000 as expected, this bike could end up being one of the most tempting middleweight sport bikes on the market. Whether you’re a longtime rider or someone just moving up into bigger bikes, the 750SR-S is worth keeping on your radar.
