Chinese motorcycle manufacturer, CFMoto unveiled its new mid-size ADV, the 450 MT at the ongoing EICMA 2023 two-wheeler trade show. It is based on the same 450 cc parallel-twin engine platform that also underpins the 450 NK and the 450 SR motorcycles.

CFMoto will launch the 450 MT globally in the first quarter of 2024. Now, CFMoto did have presence in India a few years ago but the company isn’t operational in the country anymore. But we definitely would love to see CFMoto products being launched in India again.
