History edit

Police use edit
The CFMOTO CF650-2 is a police version of the 650TR-G. It is the first high-horsepower motorcycle designed and produced in China. Its in-line twin-cylinder eight-valve engine has a volume of 650 Cubic centimeters, with a net weight of 458 pounds (208 kilograms), it only takes 11 seconds for a motorcycle to accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. With an adjustable windshield, it can reduce wind resistance when driving at high speed, thereby saving fuel consumption.
The CF650-2 was highly recommended by the Police Equipment Procurement Center of the Ministry of Public Security, and was listed as a designated vehicle, and was adopted by many People's Police traffic units.[2] On 13 January 2014, two 2014 versions of the CF650-2 were tested by the traffic departments of the Hong Kong Police Force for a period of 7 weeks[3] to assess the suitability of introducing them to Hong Kong.[4]
