What is the top speed of the CFMOTO 250?

[VanJade]

The CFMOTO 250NK can reach a top speed of approximately 150 kilometers per hour. Below are the detailed specifications of the CFMOTO 250NK: Power specifications: This motorcycle is equipped with a single-cylinder 249cc displacement engine. This engine is a four-stroke engine with a bore of 72mm and a stroke of 61.2mm. It delivers a maximum power of 19.5kw and a maximum torque of 22 Nm. The maximum power is achieved at 9000 revolutions per minute, and the maximum torque is achieved at 7500 revolutions per minute. The motorcycle features a 6-speed transmission and uses a chain drive system. Configuration: The CFMOTO 250NK is equipped with front inverted dual shock absorbers and a rear center-mounted single shock absorber system. It also comes with an ABS anti-lock braking system. Both the front and rear tires are tubeless.

I ride the CFMoto 250SR track version myself, with a claimed top speed of 142 km/h. During actual road tests, the speedometer shows just over 140 km/h before being restricted by the electronic speed limiter. With two riders and higher wind resistance, it's normal for the speed to drop to around 130 km/h. For a 250cc single-cylinder bike in this class, don't expect it to hit 150 km/h—the compression ratio and power output are what they are. I've tried running it on a closed track, and when the throttle is wide open with RPMs over 10,000, the engine feels like it's about to fall apart. The stock CST tires start losing grip at around 120 km/h. If you're serious about top speed, you're better off choosing a Ninja 400, but for city commuting, the CFMoto 250 is more than enough.

Last week, I helped my cousin test his CFMoto 250NK street bike. The official top speed is 128km/h, but the GPS showed it couldn't go beyond 135km/h. Among 250cc bikes, the CFMoto's speed performance isn't bad, but it feels a bit sluggish compared to water-cooled bikes like the Yamaha R15. Interestingly, removing the windshield actually increased the speed by 3-5 km/h, probably because the fairing creates more drag at high speeds. The bike vibrates intensely at high RPMs – when I hit 120km/h, the rearview mirrors became completely blurry. I'd recommend switching to semi-slick tires as the stock ones tend to slip when crossing white lines at high speed, which is quite dangerous.

Just helped a fellow rider tune the ECU on a CFMoto 250SR. After removing the speed limiter, the dashboard showed a maximum speed of 147 km/h. It must be noted that this result was achieved by a rider weighing 60kg in a tucked position on a 2km straight. This speed is practically useless for daily riding. At 7,000-8,000 rpm in 6th gear, the whole bike vibrates intensely, and the helmet shakes violently from the wind. In fact, the CFMoto 250's strength lies in its cornering agility - its top speed isn't as stable as the GSX250R with the same displacement. For serious high-speed riding, I'd recommend installing a steering damper as the stock steering is too light and prone to dangerous wobbles. By the way, aftermarket wheels can reduce weight and improve acceleration, but they'll definitely fail the annual inspection.
