Over the last 10 years, Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CFMoto has fully utilized its relationship with KTM. While producing models like the 790 Duke and 790 Adventure for the Austrian OEM, CFMoto employed that same LC8c parallel-twin to highlight its 800MT and 700CL-X lineups. That perennial powerplant will also beat at the heart of CFMoto’s upcoming 800NK naked bike. Still, the Chinese marque has even more in store for its NK range.
Thanks to patents dredged up by Bennetts Bike Social’s Ben Purvis, we now know that CFMoto intends to add a 1250NK to its naked bike ranks. The in-development supernaked will employ the 1,279cc version of KTM’s LC8 V-twin. That's the same wundermill that powers CFMoto’s own 1250 TR-G grand tourer.
