CFMoto has been a popular motorcycle brand in the Central Hemisphere for decades, and now the company is officially back in the US motorcycle power sports market – and the big official hops across the Atlantic required a little more planning.

CFMoto has announced that it will be launching its motorcycles in the U.S. market. In a report published by Cycle World, the Chinese company announced its intentions to penetrate the U.S. motorbike market in its first-ever North America dealer meeting. More specifically, Cycle World went into the details of the specific machines CFMoto intends to launch stateside.

The Chinese motorcycle manufacturer plans to launch a total of seven new models in the North American market. Now, these bikes aren’t all-new machines designed specifically for the states, but rather, existing bikes the company currently sells in Europe, Asia, and Australia.

For starters, the CFMoto Papio will be entering the U.S. market and competing directly with the likes of the Honda Grom. Just like the Grom, it gets a 125cc engine and mini-bike proportions, certainly making for a fun and rowdy two-wheeled experience.

CFMoto will also be launching its 300cc range of bikes consisting of the 300 NK naked bike and 300 SS sportbike, otherwise known as the 300 SR in Asia.

CFMoto will also be launching a range of 650cc middleweight bikes in the form of the 650 Adventura, also known as the 650 MT in Europe, Asia, and Australia; as well as the 650 NK.

Lastly, the 700 CL-X will be making its entrance to the U.S. as their most premium offering. It’ll be made available in two flavors, the Standard, which boasts scrambler-like styling; and the Sport, a more aggressive and performance-oriented package with low clip-on and 17-inch wheels.

CFMoto has a wide presence in the Nepalese market too. The company currently sells two naked bikes – 150NK, 250NK, and one supersport – 250SR.
